Assam University moving ahead towards complete digitisation

April 13: Assam University, Silchar is striving hard to bring all affiliated colleges and departments of the university under one umbrella. All students who desire to take admission in Assam University or its  affiliated colleges, shall have to submit the application in a common Admission portal. Students can select multiple colleges at a time during admission subject to fulfillment of the requisite admission criteria. This will be effective from 2021.

As per sources in the University, it was informed that present examination software will be upgraded soon to incorporate the admission portal. This new portal will simplify the system as the students will be required to fill up the form once in the portal along with their respective subjects for all further use. The University is also trying to build a proctor based online admission portal of its own. This software will be helpful both for the students and also for the administration.

The portal will be a single window for various activities of the students like admission test, assignment test and online examination etc. In this connection, a contract was signed by Assam University with DCG Data Core System Pvt. Ltd. in presence of the Vice Chancellor Prof. Dilip Chandra Nath. Registrar Dr Pradosh Kiran Nath signed the contract on behalf of the University with Debashish Sadhiya, GM of DCG Data Core System Pvt. Ltd.

Others who were present during the occasion were Dr Suprabir Dutta Roy- Controller of Examinations, Dr Jayanta Bhattacharjee- Director CDC, Prof. Sudipta Roy- Chairman of the Implementation Committee, Dr Sobhan Kr Bedajna- Convenor and Partha Choudhury- Technical Head of DCG. The project will be completed by June 2021.
