KleverMIND – A PLATFORM WITH A MISSION TO ENSURE SCHOOL ADMISSIONS ARE NO MORE A NIGHTMARE TO PARENTS!

Applications for Nursery Admissions fill many parents with horror. 

The lack of awareness about the school of their choice, the laborious application forms and submission, and the fees which are different according to the school, can leave parents exasperated. These were some of the problems faced by KleverMind Co-founders, Sanghamitra and Jajati Pattanayak, parents who needed to find the right school and the right match. Last year, Sanghamitra and Jajati, both IT professionals with top MNCs, took 20 days to apply to 28 schools for their daughter’s admission. The tiring process made them come up with the idea of KleverMind, which gives parents and schools the comfort of just one form through which school admissions applications can be made to many different schools.
This powerful idea of ‘Many Schools. One Form’ is one of NASSCOM’s 10000 Startups and 16 most disruptive ideas. By simplifying and automating the nursery school admission process via everyday technology, such as the Web and Mobile App, KleverMind provides parents with ways to filter out and find nearby schools according to a specified distance. There is also a one on-line master form to apply to various schools. KleverMind also looked at the issues faced by schools. Schools had to manually sort, shortlist and identify potential students from a large application pool.  In addition, they had to handle many questions, plus deal with the huge volume of parents who overcrowded their premises.  During this chaotic process, new schools and those located away from main streets remained left behind and did not become available as a potential choice. KleverMind thought ahead by providing listings for schools on their website as well as a mobile school app for parents.
