The Need...

Student administration, student support services, Faculty schedule & management, Administration and finance management have become very complex and time consuming in large campus. There   is definite need to improve administrative effectiveness and to provide more facility and services to the students at affordable cost. A student requires multiple cards and records in the campus. The typical requirements are for:

v      Personal Identification Card

v      Time and attendance Card

v      Access Control card for various facilities in the campus

v      Library Card

v      Debit Card

Will it not be lot more convenient to have ONE SINGLE CARD, which can hold student identification data   and have link to a    database which has all these details. Smartcard   would be an ideal solution and will open   the   gateway to add on any other application required in the campus. In addition, it could be a limited purpose DEBIT CARD in the campus facilitating both the students and the administration towards cash less transactions.
