AI DRIVEN INTELLIGENT CONVERSATIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR AUTOMATED COLLEGE ADMISSION ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

This paper presents an AI-enabled intelligent conversational framework for college admission assistance using a touchscreen kiosk. The proposed system combines admission-cell location, CAP document and registration guidance, AI-based admission assistance and indicative branch prediction for one college. The use of an ESP32-S3 and a simple touchscreen interface supports a compact embedded implementation. By bringing common admission information into one interface, the system is intended to reduce confusion and make basic admission guidance easier to access. The branch prediction feature is designed only as a reference based on previous CAP cutoff data and not as a guarantee of admission.
