This document contains two flowcharts - a macro flowchart and a micro flowchart - that summarize the admission process for a college. It also identifies some common problems students face during the admission process, such as a lack of understanding about college requirements and inequitable access to college counseling. Creating the flowcharts helped the authors analyze the existing admission process and identify areas for potential improvement to better support students.

2. INTRODUCTION:
A flowchart is just a diagrammatic representation of a workflow or
process, showing
the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting them
with arrows.
Following are the symbols which we are using as our sign convention in our
Flowchart:
 All flowcharts start and end with the terminator or terminal shape. We have
used the following shape for this:
 To read a flowchart, we have to follow the arrows from shape to shape:
 For decision making we have used the following shape:
 We are using rectangle for activities or action steps. These are things that
must be done:
 A circle containing a letter or number means that this chart connects to
another chart on a different page. The same circle and number are then the
entry point on the new page:

15. PROBLEMS:
1. STUDENT’S UNDERSTANDINGS AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS-ABOUT COLLEGE :
Now–a-days , One of the major problem which students has to face while taking
admission in colleges is because of lack in preparation and misconception of
knowledge regarding college curricular. While the majority of students aspire to attend
college after high school, their knowledge of specific college preparation issues was
sporadic and vague. Their lack of clear understanding makes good college preparation
difficult.
2. LACK OF COLLEGE COUNSELLING FOR ALL STUDENTS: Counsellors face a range of
responsibilities that compete for their time, including test administration , course
scheduling, providing mental health or other counselling services, addressing
disciplinary issues, and supporting students with special needs. This leaves many
students with few available people who are familiar with college transition issues.
3. INEQUITABLE COLLEGE PREPARATORY OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL STUDENTS :
Students in high-level courses often receive the information from a variety of sources,
including the challenging content of their courses, university recruitment efforts, their
parents, counselors, other students, and teachers who are knowledgeable about
college-level standards. But many students in middle and lower level high school
courses are not reached by higher education outreach efforts, or by college
counselling staff in their high schools. Many economically disadvantaged parents often
lack experience and information concerning college preparation for their children.

16. LESSONS:
Flowcharts are helpful in understanding a complicated process. This is especially
true if you have to make decisions and do different steps depending on those
decisions. By looking at a flowchart you can visually follow different paths through
the chart. For each step on a flowchart you can ask yourself "Is this step
necessary?
Can it be improved?“.
As a student, flowchart is very important for us. We really appreciate the person
who have decided this as the part of the competition. We have learned so many
things by the time of making the flowchart, first of all ,we learned how to make flo-
-wcharts .Usually people don’t care what are the flaws in the existing system, so
by making flowchart we analyzed the process and we think that if this flowchart is
published and considered by the colleges then students must feel relieved.
