• Submit applications on university portals/official channels with high accuracy
• Maintain real-time tracking of application status across all cases
• Drive timely follow-ups with:
  • Partners (for documents and inputs)
  • Universities (for application updates, clarifications, and decisions)
• Ensure zero/near-zero errors in application submissions and documentation
• Maintain strict adherence to timelines and process workflows
• Attend university webinars/training sessions and document key updates and insights
• Efficiently manage multiple applications/cases in parallel without quality drop

  • Backend operations in a similar domain
• Comfortable with repetitive, execution-heavy work
• Strong follow-up mindset and ability to drive closures
• Ability to handle multiple cases without losing track
