The real problem

Great institutions lose seats to weaker ones with better distribution

You have the faculty, the results and the infrastructure. What you often don't have is a full-time team chasing enquiries within five minutes, a content engine that keeps your brand visible all year, or the bandwidth to fight paperwork on affiliation and fee reconciliation.

That's the gap AcademicNest fills. We plug into your institution as an external growth and operations team — and on admissions, we only get paid when you do.

Leads go cold in hours

Most enquiries pick whoever calls back first. Our counsellors respond within minutes, seven days a week.

Marketing spend with no attribution

Agencies report reach. We report enquiries, walk-ins, and admissions per rupee spent.

Admin work eating teaching time

Fee follow-ups, attendance registers and report cards are automatable. We automate them.

Four services, one partner

Everything an institution needs to grow — under one roof

Take one service or all four. Each works standalone; together they compound.

How engagement starts

From first call to first admission in weeks, not quarters

We keep onboarding light. You should see activity in your funnel before you see a large invoice.

Free discovery & audit

A 30-minute call plus a written audit of your current enquiry flow, digital presence and admin workload.

Scope & commercials agreed

We propose the services that will move the needle first, with the exact fee, deliverables and reporting cadence in writing.

Onboarding sprint

Access, brand assets, counsellor scripts, CRM and tracking set up. Typically 7–14 working days.

Run, report, refine

Weekly numbers, monthly review, quarterly strategy. You always know cost per enquiry and cost per admission.

Why institutions choose AcademicNest

We are paid on outcomes, not activity

Skin in the game

On admissions we earn only when a student enrols and pays. If the funnel doesn't convert, we don't invoice. That single fact changes how hard a team works.

Education-only focus

We don't run campaigns for restaurants and real estate on the side. Every playbook, script and creative template is built for admissions cycles and parent psychology.

One partner, four functions

No coordinating between an agency, a consultant and a software vendor who all blame each other. One contract, one point of contact, one dashboard.

India and overseas

We work with Indian institutions and with Indian-curriculum schools in the GCC and South-East Asia, including cross-border student recruitment.

Your brand, your data

Ad accounts, social handles, CRM and student data stay in your ownership. If we ever part ways, nothing walks out the door with us.

Published pricing

Our rates are on the website. No discovery-call price discovery, no "depends on budget" games.

Who we work with

Built for every kind of education institution

K-12 Schools

CBSE, ICSE, State Board and IB schools looking to fill classes and strengthen brand.

Coaching Institutes

JEE, NEET, UPSC, CA, banking and skill-based institutes with batch-driven intake.

UG and PG programmes needing structured counselling and multi-city reach.

Online Academies

Ed-tech and online course businesses that need qualified, sales-ready enrolments.

Questions we get a lot

Frequently asked

How exactly does the 15–20% revenue share work?

We charge a percentage of the total course or annual fee for each student we bring who actually enrols and pays. The exact rate depends on the fee ticket size, course length and how much of the funnel we own — 15% where you handle counselling and closure, up to 20% where we run the entire process end to end. Nothing is charged for enquiries, walk-ins or applications that don't convert.

Do we still pay for ads separately?

Yes. For admission campaigns run under the revenue-share model, we can either fund lead generation ourselves or run it on your ad account — we agree this upfront. For the fixed-fee marketing retainer, media spend is always billed by Google or Meta directly to your account, so you keep full transparency on every rupee.

How long does CBSE affiliation take?

For a school with land, building and society documentation already in order, the realistic window is 9–18 months from engagement to affiliation letter, driven largely by CBSE's own application windows and inspection schedules. Where documentation or infrastructure gaps exist, we first give you a gap report so you know what has to be fixed before applying. We do not promise timelines that depend on the Board's discretion.

Is there a lock-in period?

Admission services have no lock-in — you pay per enrolment. Marketing retainers run on a three-month initial term (creative and algorithms need that long to stabilise) and month-to-month after that. Automation includes a setup fee plus an annual subscription.

Do you work with institutions outside India?

Yes. We support Indian-curriculum and international schools in the GCC and South-East Asia, and we help Indian institutions recruit students from overseas markets. Pricing for overseas engagements is quoted in USD or AED.

Will you work with a competitor school in our city?

Not for admission services. When we sign an admissions engagement we agree a category and radius exclusivity in writing, so we are never running two competing funnels in the same catchment.
