A

the valuation of answer sheets. University marks of the students
will be sent to the parent immediately after we receive the
mark statement from the university. Other important notices,

2. Campus Networking
We have established an extensive Fiber Optic
Network over the whole campus at an estimate of Rs. 8 Lakh. The
present campus network basically comprises of nearly 1.5 Kms. of
Fiber Optic cable backbone with 7 manageable switches. There are
nearly 1000 nos. of computers connected to the network and at any
time about 600 of them are connected to the Internet. Campus
networking with fiber has several distinct advantages over non-fiber
applications such as: (a) Networks can be extended longer distances,
(b) Larger amounts of data can be sent due to increased bandwidth,
(c) No environmental disturbances, (d) Immunity to EMI/RFI,
lightning strikes.
3. 10 Mbps Internet Connectivity through Fiber Optic
Cable
The Internet connectivity to the campus is through a 10 Mbps
1:1 Leased Line connection from BSNL. As per our frequent requests,
BSNL has agreed and established internet connectivity through
Fiber Optic Cable, in which we can receive good connection comparing
to the earlier Microwave connectivity.
4. Online Web Applications
Currently, Students/Parents can get the student attendance,
internal marks, university marks, library book status, library
book search, etc. and the Staff can view their personal details,
leave details, library book status, library book search, etc.
through our website. ISSG has developed online performance appraisal
of faculty by students, online examination (which is useful
in conducting online examinations for filtering candidates to
attend Infosys Campus Connect, IBM Academic Initiative, Hexaware
Hexpert and other internal programs) web applications earlier.
The following Online Web Applications are newly developed by
ISSG for the benefit of the students/staff:
- E-Gate
- Order Tracking System
- Call Register and Tracking System
- E-Gate
By using the E-Gate web application, the management can know
how many students / staff entered the library and how long
they stayed there. The student / staff should show their identity
cards while entering / exiting the library so that the system
can register their in time / out time respectively. The system
will welcome the student / staff while entering and say good
bye while exiting, provided they show their identity card
(barcode) in the barcode reader provided in the library main
entrance. Various reports can be generated department wise
/ batch wise, etc.
- Order Tracking System
Order Tracking System is developed for the use of the staff.
The main aim of developing this web application is to centralize
the distribution of orders and payments for orders of the
entire institution. Each department will be given a user id
and password. The department clerks, by using the user id
and password given to the departments, have to enter the details
of the order, save and print the order through system and
send it to the purchase section. The purchase section will
dispatch the order to the vendor, by putting a dispatch number,
stating that the order is dispatched. After receiving the
items as mentioned in the order, the concerned departments
have to send the bill to the purchase section. The purchase
section will send the bill to the concerned department, after
entering the details of the bill in the system for the concerned
order and pass the bill to the accounts section after checking
the payments already made (as advance) to the vendor. The
Accounts section, after checking and verifying the payments
already made to the vendor for the concerned bill, will make
arrangements for payment. The payment details then will be
intimated to the purchase section by the accounts section
so as to enable the purchase section to enter the payment
details in the system. By using this web application, the
user can track whether his order is pending with purchase
/ accounts section or payments made, etc. User can generate
reports for pending bills laboratory wise, date wise, year
wise. Administrator can generate various reports like pending
of bills department wise, date wise, year wise, etc.
- Call Register and Tracking System
Call Register and Tracking System is developed for the use
of the staff. The staff can log a call for any complaints
regarding Hardware, Software, Networking, Web, Biometric and
related problems. While logging a call, the user will receive
a unique ID for tracking the call. By using this ID, the user
can know the status of the call whether the call is viewed
/ pending / completed. The Administrator will assign the calls
to the concerned Executives and the Executives will attend
the call and close the call after giving proper details regarding
the problem, what he/she has done to rectify the problem,
service report number, etc. in the column provided. The Administrator
can view various reports like the number of calls viewed,
pending, completed and Executive wise reports (i.e. number
of calls completed by an Executive), and more.
5. Wi-Fi Zones
To provide convenient connection of notebook computers to the campus network and to facilitate internet connectivity, both wireless LAN access points and fixed network outlets have been installed at different areas on campus including the Central Library, Conference Halls, Canteens, Auditorium and Hostel. With the adoption of the WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) Protocol, data communication over the wireless LAN is highly secure. With a notebook computer with wireless capability, the students/staff may get convenient access to the campus network at locations with wireless access points established. The Wireless LAN will also facilitate departments and student organizations in holding exhibitions, presentations and any other functions which require network access in the open areas.
