I built a self-hosted admissions system for Indian colleges because most of them are stuck with spreadsheets or vendor lock-in

痛点：印度高校招生流程仍靠 Excel/Google Forms/WhatsApp 拼凑，而云端 SaaS 把申请者的证件、缴费和个人信息放在厂商服务器上，在 DPDP 法案下让院校 IT 团队面临合规风险，且被厂商绑定。

目标用户：印度高校、学院的招生办与 IT 负责人，尤其是多校区/多分支的教育机构

证据：institutions either run intake on Excel, Google Forms, and WhatsApp, or pay for a cloud tool where applicant data (documents, payments, personal details) sits on a vendor's servers. With India's DPDP Act, that second option is making a lot of IT teams nervous.

变现：按活跃申请人数阶梯订阅 + 私有化部署年费/一次性实施与运维费；后续加多租户校区授权、支付通道分成

MVP：用 Docker 打包一套可自部署的最小系统：符合 DPDP 的申请表单构建器 + 材料上传 + Razorpay/Paytm 收款 + 简单漏斗看板，两周内交付；先找 2-3 所学院免费试点，换取真实招生季数据和付费意向

竞品：Meritto (NoPaperForms)、ExtraaEdge、CollPoll、Calp、Google Forms + Excel（现状替代方案）

摘要：一位开发者发布自托管招生系统 IntakeX，切的是印度高校招生仍用 Excel/WhatsApp、或被迫使用云端 SaaS 而面临 DPDP 法案数据合规风险的痛点。产品含表单构建、看板式招生流程、申请者门户、Razorpay/Paytm 缴费与多租户隔离，按活跃申请人数收费。目前仅为作者自述的 launch 帖，无付费客户或收入证据，且该赛道已有 Meritto、ExtraaEdge 等成熟玩家。
