Challenges Faced by Universities in Promoting Courses

Challenges Faced by Universities in Promoting Courses

It is a common occurrence that Universities fail to retain a certain number of students or fail to reach out to students who are inclined towards enrolling. 

1. Intense Competition 
  • There are so many institutions offering very similar degrees or courses and finding an edge is difficult. 
2. Limited Visibility 
  • In some instances or due to the lack of a strong network reaching out to students outside of ones vicinity or even to students residing in other states can be quite a task. 
3. Changing Aspirations 
  • An increasing number of students are able to exercise their choices and with that, they are looking for more flexible and interdisciplinary programs. 
4. High Marketing Costs 
  • Adverts are perhaps the costliest means of outreach and even then they never are tailored to the right target audience and therefore tend to be unsuitable. 
5. Student Retention 
  • Which students remain enrolled and who drop out is usually a matter of great concern as education institutes are struggling to engage students.
