Appli: Simplifying College Admissions for Every Student in India

Bengaluru, 13th March 2025: The college admissions process in India has long been a stressful and time-consuming experience for students and parents. With over 50,000 colleges and nearly 5 crore aspirants, the complexity of applications, multiple forms, and fragmented information often make the process overwhelming. As a result, India’s Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) stands at just 27.1%, significantly lower than the global average of 38%.  

 

Addressing this challenge, Appli has emerged as an innovative platform designed to make college applications seamless, efficient, and accessible. The much-awaited Appli app was officially launched yesterday, marking a new era in simplifying the admissions process for students across India.  

 

A Vision Inspired by Personal Experience  

 

Appli was founded with a singular mission—to simplify the admissions process and eliminate unnecessary complexities. The idea was born from a personal challenge faced by Nanjunda Prasad, who saw his daughter struggle with multiple applications and cumbersome procedures. Determined to find a better way, he created Appli, a mobile-based common application platform that streamlines the entire process for students.  

 

“Every student deserves a stress-free and transparent application process. Appli was built to ensure that students can apply to multiple colleges effortlessly, access verified information, and make well-informed decisions about their future. With the launch of the Appli app, we are bringing this vision to life, empowering students with a hassle-free and efficient solution,”* said *Nanjunda Prasad, Founder & CEO, Appli.
