Information like availability vacant seats, fees, infra., board, school results, etc. are not available over the web. The feedback, reviews and ratings of the schools are not available. If you have 10 schools shortlisted, one need to visit at 10 different places and all of them says they are the best, resulting in high level of confusion. Some good single branch schools cannot not be contacted because they dont publicize themselves. Finding schools which serve a niche segment (Like schools for differently abled, NGO schools, evening school, open schools etc.) details not available. Huge number of people follow only few schools, with few seats in them creates very high competition, resulting in unfair practices followed by those very few schools. These days learning is not limited to formal education and other informal courses play a major role in shaping up an individual and these informal courses/ institution selection is a major problem. Counseling is restricted to schools and one has to completely depend on the information provided by the school. Enrollment for Online education and distance education is a challenge. Schools which have low adverting budget find it difficult to reach out to target audience. Very few sites dedicated to education, hence institutes have to approach other sites. Multiple foreign institution are spreading their arms in India at all the levels but lesser dedicated education sites making the business difficult for them. Conventional promotional methodologies like news paper, Hoardings, pamphlets etc which are either very expensive or has a very small shelf life. So many seats go vacant every year because they are not able to reach out to the students about availability resulting in major revenue loss to those institutes. Major spending by the sites providing online courses for reaching the audience/ customers. Some learning institutes also provide discounts and offers for their short term courses but are forced to restrict themselves to News papers or pamphlets. Word of mouth plays a major role in selection but schools are not able to channelize the reviews by follow parents for its benefits. Learning places like museums, theme parks, Zoo and planetarium etc. are loosing their relevance. They can play a major role of practical aspect of learning.
