II. PROBLEM STATEMENT

In A college enquiry chatbot aims to address the informational needs of students, prospective applicants,
and the college community efficiently. The problem statement revolves around the challenges faced by
individuals seeking information about the college, its programs, admission processes, and campus life.
Currently, the absence of a dedicated, responsive, and intelligent chatbot results in delays, misinformation,
and a suboptimal user experience. One prominent issue is the overwhelming volume of inquiries that college
staff must handle manually, leading to delays in response times and potential dissatisfaction among users.
Additionally, the lack of a centralized and accessible platform for information dissemination results in

fragmented communication channels, making it difficult for users to locate accurate and timely information.
Furthermore, the absence of a chatbot deprives the college of an opportunity to engage with prospective
students effectively. A chatbot can serve as a virtual guide, offering personalized assistance, answering queries
related to admission requirements, scholarship opportunities, and program details. Without such a tool,
potential applicants may struggle to find relevant information, hindering their decision-making process.
Moreover, the evolving nature of inquiries, including frequently asked questions and dynamic updates, poses
a challenge for traditional communication methods. A chatbot, equipped with natural language processing
capabilities, can adapt to diverse user queries, ensuring a comprehensive and real-time response system. In
conclusion, the problem statement revolves around the lack of an efficient and intelligent college enquiry
chatbot, leading to delayed responses, information fragmentation, and an inadequate engagement platform for
prospective students. Addressing this gap is crucial to enhance the overall user experience, streamline
communication processes, and empower individuals with accurate and timely information about the college
and its offerings.
III. PROPOSED SYSTEM
