Profile VTU is one of the biggest Technological Universities in India, having 192 colleges affiliated to it with under graduate course in 28 disciplines and PG Programme in 71 disciplines. The intake at UG level is about 67100 students and at the PG level it is about 12666 students.
Business Situation VTU is knows for implementing best-of-breed technology solutions.
Solution To cost-effectively support its strategy and execution process of M.Tech thesis dissertation and evaluation process.
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
