Admission Policies in Higher Education Institutions in India, South Africa, Singapore, USA, Australia and China and Their Relation to Student Satisfaction at Undergraduate Level

Abstract

Student satisfaction has gained importance in the new education environment not only in India but in leading academic institutions in nations across the world. This paper looks into the admission policies framed by respective governments and followed by institutions in multiple nations. The study has also been done to understand the popular models developed by thinkers and contributors in academic domains to improve the quality of students and the impact that they have on the number of admissions each year. When a student decides to move from elementary levels to higher education it is not only the infrastructural and academic facilities that have a positive impact on the decision to choose between colleges but also how his initial queries were handled by the institution’s admission cell whether on a personal visit or any other medium. The paper is an effort to identify the best practices and variables that create a clearer picture of the interactions and supporting activities that a student shall experience during the academic journey in the selected institution for higher education.
