Academic planning and development

Institutions used to have a software named “My Class Campus” for academic planning and development which included provisions for attendance recording, timetable planning, and even entering internal marks.
During the COVID pandemic, our institution even implemented “Moodle” as institutional learning management software (LMS) for which all teaching staff was provided with login credentials to upload the study documents and take virtual classes. “Google classroom” authorization is also taken for virtual classes and login credentials were provided to all teaching staff and students to utilize the facility.

E-governance is also implemented in the academic planning section with different modules including general masters, admin masters, library masters, SMS, academic, and reports. The general module is subcategorized as year, academic year, Subjects, degree, course, staff designation, Language, Department, staff, student, nationality, main subject, and academic subject. The admin master module opens up with subcategories such as security questions, admin departments, admin user type, admin designation, and library log history.

The Examination section E-governance is linked with the Kerala University of Health Sciences Portal. The final internal mark and attendance will be entered in the KUHS portal for sorting out eligible students for the Final Examination. After examinations, the practical marks will be entered in the same orderly process.
