WhatsApp for coaching institutes: more admissions, fewer missed classes
Admissions are won in the first conversation, and attendance is kept with small, timely reminders. Comniket handles both from your institute's WhatsApp number: enquiries get answers and a demo class slot, students and parents get the updates they need, and your staff stop typing the same message a hundred times.
What gets in the way
- Admission enquiries peak in a few weeks, and slow replies send students to the next institute.
- Class changes, fee due dates and test results are passed on by hand, or through groups nobody reads.
- Parents want updates, but calling every family is not possible.
What you can do with WhatsApp
Admission enquiries and demo classes
A chatbot answers courses, batches, timings and fees, then offers a free demo class and books it.
Class and test reminders
Batch-wise reminders for classes, rescheduled lectures and test dates, sent to each student individually.
Fee reminders
A polite reminder before the due date with the amount and a payment link — sent automatically, stopped once paid.
Results and progress for parents
Each parent gets their own child's result or attendance note, privately, instead of a list in a group.
New batch announcements
Past enquiries who asked for updates hear about new batches and crash courses first.
Messages you can send
Ready-to-submit WhatsApp templates. {{1}} and the like are filled in for each customer; Meta approves each template once.
From enquiry to admission
- A student or parent enquires — from an ad, your website or a walk-in form
- The chatbot shares courses and fees and offers a demo class
- A reminder the evening before the demo
- After the demo, a counsellor follows up in the same chat
Frequently asked questions
Should we message students or parents?
Message whoever gave you the number and agreed to updates. For younger students, send academic and fee updates to the parent's number.
Can we send updates to a WhatsApp group?
Broadcasts through the API go to each person individually. That is more reliable than groups, keeps each family's information private and respects who opted in.
What do fee reminders cost?
Fee and class reminders are utility messages: about ₹0.12 each plus GST on Meta's current rates.
Can we send results privately?
Yes. Each student or parent receives only their own result, as a personal message.
