Visvesvaraya Technological University,
Belgaum Uses Technology to Promote
Online M.Tech Thesis Evaluation Process
Situation
The university is running 126 M.Tech courses, and engaging 3800
professors across 192 affiliated colleges. As per academic syllabus, every
year 2800+ thesis submitted to the university from all 192 colleges through
postal service. University examination section was loaded by receiving
reports, communications and track to initiate thesis evaluation process.
This created a number of challenges. For instance, any communications
such as appointing internal and external examiners, reminder mails,
notification for viva-voce examinations and receiving marks allotment
sheets from examiners were happening through Postal Service. This
introduced logistic delays, postal cost, difficulties in time management and
tracking. As a result overall process became tedious and stressful.
University staff had difficulty in providing efficient, quick and responsive
services.
In the best case, one student thesis is used to take at-least 30 days to finish
complete evaluation cycle before proceeding to the final result
announcement stage.

Solution
In 2012, the university considered its existing IT environment and worked
with SrushtiSoft to come up with a software solution to computerize thesis
evaluation process that includes tracking and marks allotments. SrushtiSoft
developed a web application called Examinater and rolled out in one shot
for all VTU affiliated colleges running M.Tech courses. Professors are
requested to enrol in the Examinater system. Traditional postal mail
services for communications are replaced by Emails, colour coded thesis
status tracking mechanism helped to perform quick and accurate trace,
secured token based online marks submissions are encouraged and one-
click report generation accelerated whole M.Tech thesis evaluation process.

Benefits
Because of Examinater System Implementation, Now one student thesis
evaluation requires just 5 operational days to finish. Compared to earlier
approach, 75% of execution delay is eliminated. Easy tracking and follow-
up procedures helped office staff to save 85% of their valuable working
time. University expenditure on consumables (postal covers, paper, pen,
printer ink...etc.) reduced to 90%. Professors and University staff are more
responsive and thereby overall increase in operational efficiency is
achieved.

Benefits
Smart use of financial resources
Operational flexibility and
productivity
Faster execution
