01 / About the institution

Learning built around application and discovery

CARE Group of Institutions, established in 2009 by the G. Narayanan Educational Trust, is a private educational institution located in Trichy, Tamil Nadu. It offers application-oriented engineering courses in a hands-on learning environment.

As an integrated campus, CARE also offers programs in Business Administration, Arts & Science, and Architecture, and is committed to interdisciplinary learning, original thinking, and a culture of innovation.

02 / The challenge

Admissions had to continue without campus visits

When COVID-19 lockdowns began in 2020, students and parents could no longer visit campus to submit physical application forms. CARE needed to keep enrollment moving while minimizing in-person interactions and protecting the community.

  • Move the admission process online quickly.
  • Make application forms accessible to students and parents from any location.
  • Collect and track applicant information efficiently.
  • Maintain the admissions timeline without compromising safety.
03 / The solution

A familiar application process, delivered online

As CARE’s in-house digital solutions partner, Senthuraa Technologies recommended Zoho Forms as a quick, reliable way to bring admissions online.

Senthuraa created and customized separate Zoho Forms for bachelor’s and master’s degree programs, then embedded them directly on the CARE website so applicants could find and complete them easily. Submission data was streamlined within Zoho to simplify internal processing, with the broader Zoho ecosystem available for further integration.

The implementation helped CARE maintain its admissions timeline without delays or added administrative overhead while following COVID-19 safety protocols.

04 / The impact

A contactless process applicants could access anywhere

The Zoho Forms implementation gave CARE a practical digital admission process during a period when traditional, in-person applications were not possible.

  • A fully paperless admission system.
  • Instant access for applicants and parents from any location.
  • No delays in application submission and processing.
  • A scalable digital solution that can be reused or enhanced in future academic years.
05 / Client feedback
