4.2 Computerization of administration and library
Computerization of administration:
Paperless management through e-governance system is a regular practice at
CHARUSAT. It caters to all functionality needed from “Student’s enrolment to degree
generation” and from “Employees entry to exit”. It is a customized ERP where End-to-
End Integration is possible.
Mobile Apps supporting Android and iOS have also been developed for easy
accessibility of the E-governance system through smart phones.
Other processes where automation and digitization is used are biometric presence of
staff and students, E-Notice boards, Smart ID cards, Cashless Transactions, Salary
Disbursement, All payments and receipts, Inventory management for consumable etc.
Additionally, CHARUSAT had developed two e-systems viz. Centralized Data Base
(CDB system) and CHARUNIDHI (Charusat Digital Repository) to manage and
retrieve the data generated through various contributions (curricular and extra- and co-
curricular) by faculty members and students.
Students’ entrance examinations at certain levels and qualifying examinations for staff
recruitment are conducted online or using software-generated question paper.
Computer based tools supporting bulk messages to students are utilized for
communicating students’ attendance status to their parents on a regular basis.
Social media platform is extensively utilized for announcing university updates and
thus have an increased outreach within concerned communities including alumni
network, donors, well-wishers and other stakeholders.
