• Work closely with school leadership/office to track seat availability, admissions status, and documentation; ensure smooth completion of application forms, fee payment, and onboarding formalities.

• Coordinate with marketing or external partners running “Admissions Open” campaigns (offline and online) to ensure timely response to incoming enquiries and high conversion from enquiry to admission.

• Maintain daily/weekly on leads, follow‑ups, conversions, and reasons for drop‑off, and suggest improvements in communication scripts, FAQs, and processes to enhance conversion rates.

• Represent the school professionally during events, parent sessions, and outreach activities while consistently reflecting the school’s ethos of blending modern education with Indian cultural and spiritual values.

Required skills and experience

• Graduation in any discipline; a PG in education management, or related fields is preferred but not mandatory for a strong performer in admissions counselling.

• Ability to explain and position value‑based, holistic education (yoga, moral science, extra‑curricular activities) as a differentiator against other schools in the Vizag market
