Campus management system software for engineering colleges, here we have listed the main modules of it, like admission, fees management, etc.
Primary Modules of Campus Management Software
Application Management
Application management is one of the foremost requirements of engineering colleges.
The availability of different courses in different engineering departments invites applications from hundreds of thousands of students.
Employing a single person to answer each query can be time-consuming, challenging, and expensive. Also, there are chances that students might not have a good idea about the different courses that colleges have in store for them.
A campus management software helps in the following ways:
Lead Generation and CRM: It automates the lead generation activities by preparing an extensive database for engineering colleges to rely upon. The software keeps track of the leads and gets their hands-on insights for a better outcome.
Campus management software also gives you the capabilities of a CRM that nurtures your leads by initiating and maintaining fruitful conversations with the students and their parents.
Integration with Educational Websites: The software further streamlines the campus’s operations by integrating with popular educational websites. When students browse these websites to get information about colleges and universities, the software gets real-time updates on the same, and the management can take it forward from there.
Admission and Registration
An online admission system reduces the need to stand in long queues and being in a constant dilemma to choose a particular subject and stream. If the admission and registration processes are only available offline, students might miss out on the critical dates.
With the help of campus management software, real-time admission and registration data is collected and stored in a single database. It acts as a platform for students to:
Reply
Check the documentation for different courses and
Confirm the relevancy of information.
The software induces a course registration system in which the students can enter their interests. They will get through the minimum requirements for different courses, eligibility, entrance tests, and subject availability.
Fee Management
It takes a lot of time to physically collect the fees from all students, give the receipts to the ones who have paid, and follow up with the students who are delaying the process.
Also, students have queries about the distribution of the whole fees, added expenditures, miscellaneous expenses, and much more. It is a traditional process and has many security concerns attached to it.
A college management software promises a hassle-free and smooth process of fee payments. It directs the students to the payment portal and allows them to pay the fees through different modes like Bank Challans, UPI, NET banking, etc.
Choice-Based Enrollment
The choice-based credit system in higher education is one of the prominent changes in the education system for the benefit of students. It allows them to study subjects of their interest.
However, it’s challenging for the administration, teachers, and students to follow and implement CBCS manually. The reason behind this is that every course is divided into three sub-parts such as core, elective, and foundation courses. Further, every sub-course has a different set of subjects. The courses are linked to the credits that need to be fulfilled by the students. The administration can alter the credit limit, and modify the credit bank according to the rules and regulations of the college. All the users have access to the credits earned and other related information.
It is daunting to individually maintain every student’s details with their chosen course and subjects and collaborate for designing a seamless curriculum.
A campus management software streamlines the process and provides an LMS with a choice-based credit system. Students get the login id after admission into the college and the portal displays available courses and subjects with corresponding credits. They can choose the subjects as per their interest and the college’s management can track their choices easily.
Campus Management
A campus management system facilitates various other operations of an engineering college.
Unavailability and availability of the service on weekends, public holidays, and others.
2. Library
The software helps manage a library by keeping a check on:
The inventory
The staff
The number of book issues weekly and
The imposition of fines in case of delays in returning the books or misplacement.
3. Examination and Online Proctoring
Campus management software helps engineering colleges to conduct online examinations seamlessly. The teachers can prepare different questions like MCQs, video-based, diagram-based, give paragraph-based queries and ask for elaborated answers that the students can write and upload in the scanned form.
The software also integrates with online proctoring of exams to mitigate malpractices during examinations. It monitors student activities when they sit for exams in real-time and can spot suspicious activities.
4. Placement
Getting placements from college is a critical aspect of an engineering student’s career. That said, it’s the responsibility of the college’s administration to maintain and provide information about the companies for the students.
Given the number of companies that visit an engineering college’s campus, it can be challenging for the administration to schedule placement drives and ensure hassle-free participation from the students.
Having a placement management system streamlines all the placement activities by providing a single platform for companies, administration and students to conduct and participate in a placement drive.
A campus management software serves this purpose with its “placement” module. It allows the administration to manage all the companies easily and ensure a smooth placement drive.
5. Accreditation
Accreditation for colleges, especially engineering campuses, is important for getting placements. Major companies look forward to hiring from institutes that have accreditations. Campus management software stimulates an absolute solution for achieving periodic accreditations for engineering colleges.
The software is compliant with procedures of national and international standards. The primary focus is on both first-time and efforts to renew the accreditation. Also, the software extends help for report generation, renewals related to evaluations, reports, notifications, approvals, workflows and others like reminders and security aspects.
