Voice AI for Colleges & Universities

2 min read · Bolcho

In admission season a college's phone lines melt down: thousands of applicants and parents call about courses, eligibility, cut-offs and fees. A Bolcho voice agent answers every call 24×7 with approved information, books counselling sessions, and runs fee reminders — in the applicant's language, so no enquiry is lost and the admissions team isn't buried.

By the numbers

The levers a voice agent moves here are concrete — answer every call, act faster, and add capacity without headcount.

24×7

Admission enquiries always answered

Counselling

Sessions booked automatically

Fees

Reminders with a payment link

Regional

Applicant's language, switched mid-call

Survive admission season

No admissions office can answer every call during the rush, and each missed call is a lost applicant. Bolcho answers with approved information on courses, eligibility and process, books counselling, and runs fee reminders — in the applicant's or parent's language.

Applicants and parents

The agent speaks to a parent in the regional language and an applicant in Hinglish on the same lead, so both decision-makers are comfortable.

The call workflow

What the agent handles end to end, without a human touching the phone:

  1. 1

    Answer enquiries 24×7

    Courses, eligibility, cut-offs, hostel and process — from approved information.

  2. 2

    Book counselling

    Offer real slots and book an admissions counselling session.

  3. 3

    Fee reminders

    Remind admitted students of fee deadlines and text a payment link.

  4. 4

    Follow up leads

    Call back interested applicants who didn't complete the form.

  5. 5

    Log + route

    Hot leads route to a human counsellor; every call is saved.
