At Universal
SkillTech University (USTU), we are building a future-focused learning ecosystem that bridges education and industry. We go beyond traditional education by fostering a holistic approach that values personal development, leadership skills, and social responsibility. Our emphasis on real-world applications, internships, and industry collaborations ensures that you graduate not just with a degree but with the confidence and competence to make a meaningful impact in your chosen profession. The exciting postgraduate programmes at USTU are designed to equip learners with practical business skills, industry exposure, and career-relevant capabilities via our MBA, which offers in-demand specializations such as Strategy, Consulting & Execution and Business Analytics and an industry-integration and execution focused learning, which is in collaboration with KPMG in India.
The Role
We are looking for a driven and results-oriented Admissions Counsellor to engage prospective students, understand their career aspirations, guide them through the admissions journey, and convert qualified enquiries into successful enrolments. The ideal candidate combines a student-first mindset with consultative selling, relationship-building, and strong but strategic follow-through.
Key Responsibilities
Student Counselling & Engagement
· Understand prospective students’ academic backgrounds, work experience, career goals, and programme preferences.
· Provide explicit, personalised guidance on programme structure, eligibility, curriculum, fees, scholarships, and admissions requirements.
· Communicate the value proposition of USTU’s postgraduate programmes confidently and accurately.
Admissions & Conversion
· Manage prospective students from initial enquiry through application, evaluation, and admission confirmation.
· Follow up with qualified leads via calls, email, WhatsApp, and other relevant channels.
· Build trust with students and families to support informed admissions decisions.
· Work towards individual admissions and enrolment targets.
Lead Management & CRM
· Maintain an organised pipeline and ensure timely, consistent follow-ups.
· Record counselling interactions, lead status, and conversion progress in the CRM.
· Track lead engagement, counselling-to-application conversion, and admission closures.
· Identify funnel bottlenecks and take corrective action.
Stakeholder Coordination
· Coordinate with admissions, marketing, and academic teams to ensure a smooth applicant experience.
· Support application documentation and assessment scheduling for the entire admissions process.
· Participate in admission events, education fairs, webinars, and student engagement initiatives.
Who We're Looking For
· Excellent verbal and written communication combined with strong articulation to explain programme value clearly and persuasively.
· Consultative selling skills: understand student needs and recommend suitable programmes rather than simply pitch a course.
· Target orientation and a track record of working towards sales, conversion, walk-ins or enrolment goals.
· Strong relationship management, ownership, organisation, and attention to detail.
· Proactive follow-up habits and the ability to manage a busy admissions pipeline with a willingness to learn and grow.
· Willingness & proactiveness to perform in a 0-1 journey environment.
Eligibility & Experience
· Bachelor’s degree in any discipline; a postgraduate qualification is an advantage.
· 1–5 years of experience in admissions counselling, education sales, higher education, or consultative sales.
· Experience handling inbound and outbound leads and managing a sales or admissions pipeline.
· Familiarity with CRM tools, lead management systems, and performance tracking.
· Experience with MBA, executive / postgraduate education or premium education programmes is preferred.
· Experience in dealing with 0-5 years of work experience candidates.
Why Join USTU?
· Contribute to a forward-looking university focused on industry-relevant education.
· Represent postgraduate programmes built around consulting, analytics and collaboration with KPMG India.
· Work in a performance-driven & vibrant team environment that values initiative, creativity, ownership, entrepreneur mindset and results.
· Make a direct contribution to the growth of USTU’s postgraduate programmes and formation of a diverse batch.
