Reduce student document data entry — give registrar teams time to focus on what matters.


Daily Challenges in Educational Institutions

Registrar offices, finance departments, and scholarship units at every institution face these problems every semester:

  • Transcripts and academic records entered by hand — students submit documents from other institutions by the hundreds each admissions cycle. Staff must type in course codes, grades, and GPA entry by entry — error-prone and taking several days.
  • Paper application and registration forms — at the start of each semester, students submit hundreds or even thousands of forms simultaneously. The registrar team must read handwriting and key data into the SIS, creating a severe bottleneck.
  • Tuition receipts and payment notification slips — students use multiple proof-of-payment formats: bank slips, QR code payments, and deposit slips. The finance team must verify and enter each one separately.
  • Scholarship documents (Student Loan Fund / SLF, institutional scholarships) — loan application forms, family income certificates, and status confirmation letters from external agencies run to many pages per student. Data must be read and entered into the fund management system one person at a time.
  • Certifying documents from other institutions — letters from MHESI (Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation), foreign credential equivalency certificates, English-language transcripts — each has a different format requiring time to read and convert into system data.
  • No digital document storage system — student documents accumulate over many years, piling up in filing rooms. Retrieving documents when a student files a complaint or requests verification takes a long time.

How Ocriva Solves These Problems

For Universities / Higher Education Institutions

  • Create Templates for each document type once and reuse indefinitely — for example: Thai Transcript, English Transcript, Application Form, Academic Certificate, SLF Form
  • AI reads handwriting and low-quality scanned documents — supports transcripts from hundreds of universities nationwide with varying formats, extracting structured data with validation
  • Export into the Student Information System (SIS) via REST API or CSV — no retyping, fewer key-in errors
Example Field (Transcript / Academic Record)Details
Student IDFormat validation matching the SIS
Full NameBoth Thai and English
Course Name / CodeAlphanumeric
GradeA, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D, F, S, U
Credit HoursInteger or decimal
Cumulative GPA2 decimal places
Graduation Date / Document Issue DateDate validation

For Private Schools

  • Batch upload an entire admission cohort's applications in one operation — AI simultaneously extracts student name, date of birth, address, grade level, and attached documents, reducing data entry during the busiest admissions period
  • Webhook notifies the SIS automatically as soon as OCR processing is complete — registrar staff see new student data in the system without anyone having to manually import it
  • Export into financial systems — extract data from tuition invoices and payment receipts and export directly into the accounting system

For Training Institutes

  • OCR receipts and payment vouchers — automatically extract learner name, course name, amount, and date — no manual entry per person
  • Multi-project separation by course / cohort — create separate projects per student batch or per course so data stays clean and analytics are easy to review per cohort
  • Photograph documents, send via LINE — instructors or on-site staff can submit registration documents via LINE immediately, with data flowing into the central system automatically

PDPA and Student Data Security

Education data is personal data that must be handled carefully under the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA). Ocriva is designed to meet every requirement of educational institutions:

FeatureDetails
PDPA CompliantStudent data is handled in full compliance with PDPA — including consent management, right to erasure, and data minimization
File RetentionConfigure document retention periods to match institutional policy (e.g., student records for 10 years after graduation) — automatic deletion on expiry
Role-Based AccessAssign permissions by role: registrar staff, finance department, scholarship unit, academic advisors — no cross-contamination
Multi-tenantSeparate projects by faculty / department / academic year — student data for each group stays isolated
Audit TrailEvery document access, every export, and every edit is fully logged and traceable at any time — supports inspections by MHESI

Example Use Cases

Case 1 — University Registrar Office, New Student Admissions:

Applicants upload transcripts and academic certificates from their previous institution → staff batch uploads all 400 documents → AI OCR extracts course codes, grades, and GPA → automatically checks admission criteria → exports into the SIS → reduces key-in work from 3 days to half a day

Case 2 — Student Loan Fund (SLF) Application Period:

Students submit stacks of SLF application documents — SLF Form 101, family income certificates, and student status confirmation letters → staff photographs and batch uploads the full set → Ocriva extracts student ID, full name, family income, and loan amount requested → automatically submits to the fund management system via webhook → reduces verification time per applicant from 20 minutes to under 3 minutes
