Banaras Institute of Teacher's Education (BITE), Babatpur, Varanasi

Full-time · On-site · Admissions & Student Support

Choosing a college is one of the larger decisions a family in Purvanchal makes, and they rarely make it from a brochure. They make it in conversation, and then by coming to see the place. Our own records bear that out plainly: a family that visits the Babatpur campus is far more likely to enrol than one that only ever fills a form.

So this is a counselling role in the real sense. You will help a student and their parents work out which of our seventeen programmes actually fits — what the student can get into, what it costs, what it leads to — and then bring them to campus to see it for themselves.

It is also a role with a number attached. You will be responsible for campus visits booked and admissions closed, and those numbers are looked at openly each week. Good counselling that never results in a visit helps nobody, and we would rather say that plainly now than discover we disagree later.

· Understand what the student actually wants before recommending anything — the programme that suits them, not the one with seats to fill

· Take families through eligibility, fee structure, instalments and scholarships across seventeen programmes, from B.A. to the AICTE-approved MBA and the PG Diploma in Remote Sensing & GIS

· Hold your own in a postgraduate conversation — an MBA or M. Com applicant will ask about specialisations, approvals, admission routes and what the degree leads to, and expects a credible answer

· Say so when BITE is not the right fit. It costs us one admission and saves a student two years

· Call new enquiries within the hour they arrive, during working hours. Of everything in this job, speed is the strongest thing you personally control

· Treat Whats App as a conversation rather than a broadcast — a large share of our Whats App enquiries currently never reach a human,



and closing that gap is part of why this post exists

· Follow up on a sensible cadence, and know when a number has gone cold

· Turn genuine conversations into dated campus visits — a specific time, a named person to meet, the location sent, and what to bring so the admission can be completed the same day

· Confirm the day before and again on the morning. A family that says it will visit "sometime" has not booked anything

· Involve the parents. In our market the decision is made by the family together

,

· Receive walk-in families at the campus — our highest-converting moment — and give them a real conversation

· Complete admissions end to end: documents, forms, fee counter, handover into student records

· Log every call, message and visit in our CRM on your phone, the same day. An unlogged conversation cannot be picked up by a colleague and effectively did not happen

· Ask every family how they first heard about BITE, and record it. We are building this properly for the first time

· Postgraduate degree in any discipline. A graduate with exceptional counselling experience will still be considered, but the preference is real — postgraduate applicants to our MBA, M. Com and MA programmes expect to be advised by someone who has been through it

· Strong spoken and written Hindi and English. Most of our families are from Purvanchal and eastern Bihar, and the conversation that matters usually happens in Hindi

· At least two years of counselling, advising,



admissions or student-facing work where you were responsible for an outcome and not only a process

· Genuine ability to guide and mentor — to listen first, ask the right questions, and give honest advice to a nervous eighteen-year-old and a cautious parent in the same conversation

· Comfortable using a phone-based CRM daily, and disciplined about logging

· Willing to own the visit and admission numbers, and to review them openly each week

· Based in Varanasi or willing to relocate. This is an in office role at Babatpur, and Saturdays are working days in admission season

· Experience in a college, university or institute admissions team, rather than a purely target-driven sales floor

· Background in psychology, education, social work or management — any discipline that trains you to counsel

· Familiarity with UP admission cycles, CUET and CUET-PG, and MGKVP or AKTU processes

· A track record you can state in numbers: how many admissions, over what period, from what volume of enquiries

Overstate placements, promise outcomes we cannot evidence, or push a family toward a programme that does not suit the student. Our published admissions material is deliberately conservative about what it claims, and counsellors are held to the same line. A student who enrols on a false promise leaves within a year, and we would rather not have enrolled them.

As per institutional norms, commensurate with qualification and experience. Discussed at interview.
