Ask HN: How do you design form for admission process of a college?

Hi, I need to design admission form for a college website. They have given me a sample physical hard copy form, and asked me to upload on the website. Prospective students will download the form from the website and fill it, and then submit them in the college. What are the ways in which I can achieve this? Also, what if I create an online form in which students have to fill all the fields online, and after submission, they get a PDF copy which they can submit to college? For this, I would like to apply validations at field level for ex email, phone number, pin code etc. I am hosting the website using WordPress. Would someone please advise? Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks :)
