Bunking schools will no more be fun or easy. Parents would receive an instant message on their mobile about their ward’s absence. Sounds incredible, doesn’t it? College management looks to go hi-fi with the virtual guardian, Attendance-Online Management System.

It is a biometric application that collects attendance information through fingerprint and retina scan. The same info is uploaded on the Attendance-Online portal for parents to view. With the advent of this modern hi-tech guardian, proxy attendance would soon be a matter of history. Parents can have correct information and access to their ward’s attendance, performance in class, test scores etc.

This online college management system goes beyond collecting attendance data. The portal is the gateway to apply for leaves. Parents can monitor their children’s leaves with complete info about leave date and reason. Students can also make use of the portal. They can provide their feedback on the faculty, quality of teaching, hostel facilities, food and other areas of concern. Course details, time table, grades, attendance data can be accessible on this portal for the benefit of the students. Teachers can provide their valuable feedback on their students which again can be viewed by the parents. This helps in a complete and focused campus management that helps parents immensely to keep a track not only their children’s attendance but also on their test scores, performance feedback, and other information. The portal makes it easy for the teachers to keep a tab on current grades, attendance, course content etc. The portal provides a common platform for students, teachers, and parents for more transparency in education system and its management. The portal would provide detailed information about the college, its admission procedure, important dates, and other important features. No outsider can access the information on the portal other than valid students, teachers, and guardians. Access would be provided to every individual with a unique login id.

The Head of the Departments can put to use this college management system to generate reports effectively in less time. Those who are not net savvy or do not have internet connection can use the sms and 24X7 IVRS facility.

The new software has great capacity in college management skills as well as micro management of different activities in campus. It can reduce the manual and expensive procedure of multiple campus management. The portal would act as a common share point for all college related activities and minimize the labour force of running a college management system, and increase the efficiency and accuracy through use of technology and biometrics.
