Anish H. Narkhede

Abstract: Data Retrieval Systems are playing an ever increasing role in several industries in todays world. Information that is gathered by such Systems, allow organizations to expand their outreach in a more effective way. Traditionally, universities provide a statistics of enrollments in a particular branch of study with the help of reports. However, these reports are generated annually or bi-annually. Changes are bound to occur in the admissions in between this period. The System proposed in this paper, aims at gathering admissions data, and providing a graphical representation of the current status of enrollments, as and when they occur in the form of a Live Feed. This would allow the administration department at a particular university to have a better understanding of the current enrollment status, as data visualization provides a much better understanding as compared to numerical data.
