Using AI Agents to Handle 1,000+ Student Queries at University Fairs

University fairs have always been a critical touchpoint for institutions to connect with prospective students. They are high-energy events filled with excitement, questions, and opportunities, but also with challenges. For admissions teams, managing hundreds or even thousands of student inquiries in a single day can quickly become overwhelming. Long queues, missed questions, inconsistent responses, and overworked staff are just a few of the common hurdles universities face.

This is where modern technology, specifically AI Agents for Education, is transforming the way universities manage student engagement. With the help of Edysor’s modern AI solutions, universities can now handle 1,000+ student queries smoothly and efficiently while providing personalized, accurate, and instant responses.

The Challenges Universities Face at Education Fairs

Before exploring how AI helps, it’s important to understand the real challenges universities face at fairs:

1. High Volume of Student Queries

During peak hours, admissions teams may face hundreds of simultaneous inquiries. Managing these manually leads to long waiting times, frustrated students, and missed opportunities. Students often leave with unanswered questions, which can impact their application decisions.

2. Information Overload

Universities offer multiple programs, scholarships, deadlines, and eligibility criteria. Admissions staff must provide accurate information on all these topics in real time. Even the most experienced teams can struggle to maintain consistency, especially under pressure.

3. Limited Human Resources

Many universities send only a small team to represent their institution at fairs. This limits the number of students they can engage with at once. Students seeking immediate guidance may leave without getting the answers they need.

4. Difficulty in Capturing Leads

Collecting and organizing student information during fairs is often a tedious manual process. Paper forms, spreadsheets, and scattered contact details lead to inefficiencies and lost leads. Universities need a smarter approach to capture and manage student data effectively.

5. Multilingual and Cultural Barriers

Fairs attract students from diverse backgrounds and regions. Staff may not always be able to communicate fluently in multiple languages, making it difficult to provide personalized guidance for every attendee.

How AI for University Fairs is Revolutionizing Student Engagement

Edysor’s AI solutions are designed specifically to address these challenges, allowing universities to focus on meaningful conversations and conversions rather than routine tasks. Let’s look at how AI transforms the experience:

• Powerful AI Voice Agents initiate calls, guide students through queries, and provide accurate information instantly.

Accuracy and consistency are crucial when answering student queries. Edysor’s AI Agents access your university’s knowledge base to provide up-to-date information on programs, eligibility criteria, scholarships, and more. This ensures that every student receives the same reliable guidance.

• The AI remembers past interactions, allowing conversations to continue naturally without repeated explanations.

The AI Voice Agent speaks in a natural, human-like tone, creating warm and effortless conversations.

• Students feel heard and understood, regardless of their language or location.

The AI instantly reads each document, checks key details against your rules, and identifies any issues early.

• This speeds up eligibility decisions and reduces manual work for your admissions team.
