In-house Software Projects undertaken:

  1. Examinations Software Package - Adhyaksha: This is a web-based application developed entirely by the faculty of the Department of Computer Science, to manage the workflow at the Office of the Controller of Examinations. It facilitates easy and effective maintenance of and access to critical information. It maintains repositories of versions of syllabi. It helps to easily generate nominal rolls and to keep track of student results. It makes the recording of Internal Assessment marks easier and consistent. It generates Result Sheets and Mark Sheets after examinations.It seamlessly maintains critical workflow processes.

  2. Online Examination – Pariksha: This is a web application that allows students to take tests online. Tests may be set by the tutor, and the students are authenticated with a username and password before they can take the test. Results are available for publishing immediately.

  3. Admissions Package: This is an admissions management tool used for the admissions for the entire college.

  4. College Website : A website to provide information about the college and courses, with a glimpse of the infrastructure and other state of art facilities in the campus, with mail login for the authorized members.
