Observations

• Overall, the Institute witnessed an increase in
  applications (at AIT alone, not including other
  locations) from 1662 in 2006 to 1874 in 2007 an
  improvement of about 13. A large portion of this
  increase was in SET where applications jumped
  from 563 in 2006 to 864 in 2007 (54).
• The increase in applications is matched by a 15
  increase in acceptances -- from 562 in 2006 to
  647 in 2007. This was achieved despite of the
  fact that tougher admission conditions were put
  in place (i.e. a more stringent English
  proficiency requirement) and of course, a higher
  tuition fee rate, which was increased by 14 in
  2006. A large portion of this increase can be
  attributed to the 62 increase in enrolment in
  SET.
• In terms of paying students (by headcount), the
  numbers moved from 605 in 2005 to 513 in 2006 to
  577 in 2007. This translates to full-fee
  equivalents of 437 in 2005, 439 in 2006 and 514
  in 2007 (17 increase over 2006).

Some lessons

• Enrolment from Thailand leaped by 25 due to
  intensified marketing efforts and possibly a
  better and more efficient utilization of the RTG
  funding. This was complemented by initiatives
  such as Visit AIT Day in April and closer
  contacts with universities through web-based
  marketing.
• A remarkable improvement of 382 in enrolment
  from Pakistan was achieved thanks to intensified
  relations with the Higher Education Commission.
• In Indonesia, enrolment moved up by 69 and big
  factor in this is due to Pulp Paper
  Technologys closer links with related industries
  in the country.
• Stronger ties with Sri Lanka and India resulted
  to 33 and 15 increases in enrolment,
  respectively.
• Relatively small in numbers but otherwise
  significant are enrolments from Afghanistan,
  Mongolia, Nigeria, Uzbekistan and Iran most
  possibly due to more targeted promotions.
• More recently, we have also put in place an
  internet-based AIT English Interview Test, which
  allowed a few additions in enrolments from
  Cambodia, Myanmar and Indonesia.
