The USRMS application maintains student details, starting with the registration of a student for a course offered by the institute. Admission is granted when the students clear the entrance test. The application tracks the students’ academic progress, hostel and other information as they complete their degree courses. Various criteria like attendance, financial dues clearance, projects and assignments submitted, and internal and external marks obtained are taken into consideration before the results are declared. All criteria and validations are built into the application, making for a paperless system.

When a student applies for registration to a particular course, the university office staff enters this data in the application. Students are allotted a roll number and are informed about the admission test. Students can view their result in detail by logging in. Successful candidates are required to deposit requisite fees along with the necessary documents (a soft copy of these documents is stored in the database). Roll number, course, faculty, hostel room, etc., are all allotted to the admitted students.

As the students go through the courses, the teachers enter records of their attendance, daily and weekly assignments, minor and major projects (or thesis in case of PhD) on a daily basis. Students may view their progress online. However, they are denied access to other students’ information.

Teachers are allowed to make changes in the data they enter for the next two days, after which only the department heads or the administrator can edit it. Teachers are not allowed to add, view, or edit data for a student or a subject they are not allocated.
