Education administration has made significant advances with technological innovations transforming how routine tasks are planned and executed. For higher education institutions, having a smart, secure admission module is crucial for sustainable growth and success.
Camu’s admission module is recognized as one of the most intuitive and adaptable systems available today. In 2023, Camu introduced several powerful new features designed to help students manage their online applications with ease—from applying to programs to paying tuition fees.
From the institution’s perspective, Camu’s scalable software adapts seamlessly to evolving needs. Read on to discover Camu’s latest product updates that are changing the game.
Previously, Camu relied on email IDs for online registrations. However, recognizing that not all applicants have access to an email, Camu’s development team introduced mobile number-based OTP verification to simplify the registration process.
How it works for students:
Enter country code and mobile number
Click “Request OTP”
Receive OTP via text message
Click “Verify & Login”
How it works for institutions:
Log into Camu Web App
Navigate to Admissions Module → Admission Configuration
Enable the option: “Use mobile number instead of email ID for online application login”
This method offers a safer, more secure verification process, protects privacy, and prevents malpractice.
To maintain confidentiality and data security, Camu introduced department-level restrictions on online application access.
How it works:
Department heads can only access applications within their own departments.
Data access is filtered based on staff role, department, designation, and employee category.
To enable:
Log into Camu Web App
Navigate to Admissions Module → Admission Configuration
Enable “Admin department level restriction”
This enhances security and simplifies managing high volumes of applications.
Camu previously required a new email ID and registration for each program application. Now, applicants can apply to multiple programs with a single email ID and login.
For institutions:
Log into Camu Web App
Go to Admissions Module → Admission Configuration
Enable “Applicant can apply to multiple programs with one email”
For students:
Register and login via MyCamu profile
View all application details in one place
Submit new applications to different programs without multiple logins
This streamlines the application process and improves student convenience.
Students applying for multiple programs benefit from simplified fee payment options with Camu’s one-time fee payment feature.
Additionally, community-based program participants eligible for financial benefits can select their community and map related bill items accordingly.
To configure:
Log into Camu Web App
Go to Admissions Module → Online Application Schedules → Application Schedule Configuration
Select “Online Application Fee”, “One Time Fee”, or “Community-Based Fee” as needed
This makes the admission process more inclusive and user-friendly.
Camu’s 2023 updates reflect a commitment to enhancing accessibility, security, and convenience in admission management. These features empower educational institutions to offer a more inclusive and efficient application experience, boosting their long-term success.
