Mangalore University's admission process goes fully online from admission to declaration of results

Updated on: Monday, December 24, 2012

Mangalore University's admission process has gone fully online - from the time of admission to the declaration of results. Thanks to software developed by Udupi-based Robosoft Technologies Pvt Ltd, the entire admission process in its 195 affiliate, constituent and autonomous colleges is now done online.

The university will either ratify or reject the admission of student based on data uploaded online by colleges. While this eliminates all manual work related to admission, it's easy for students and colleges to track the admission status online. Purushotham R Bhat, director (facilities and infrastructure), Robosoft Technologies said, "If there's any shortcoming in admission data pertaining to a student, the university authorities affix their remarks and college authorities can take remedial measures."

Vice-chancellor TC Shivashankara Murthy, who announced this at the third general meeting of the academic council here on Saturday, said the next logical step is for colleges to start uploading internal assessment marks of students. "With this, entire process related to student admission will go online," he said.

Once the university ratifies the admission, the data is sent to the examination section, which takes care of generating examination hall tickets for students, uploading marks secured in examinations with help of OMR sheets and generating marks list. The only manual part is the time when the registrar (evaluation) affixes a facsimile signature on the marks list and it's dispatched to colleges for distribution to students.
