Madurai Kamaraj University has soft launched its Application on Google Play Store on Thursday.
T. Dharmaraj, Faculty Coordinator, who is in charge of the Application, said that by using the App students could monitor their attendance, check timetable, pay fees, get access to e-books and videos and coordinate with their professors on their assignments. “The App also has a template for creating a resume which can be sent through this integrated platform to the placement cell,” he said.
It had been planned to bring out a Smart Card for marking attendance, checking books at library and entering laboratories. The university had tied up with State Bank of India to provide ATM cards to the students. Students could also use the App’s emergency portal if they wanted to be taken to hospital or register a complaint with grievance cell. “Teachers can upload their lecture notes and check their own attendance. Since the university is connected through Wi-Fi, uploading takes place real-time. Biometric attendance system is to be installed at 70 places on the campus,” he said.
Since everyone in the university, right from the Vice-Chancellor to the administrative staff, would be on the App, students and teachers could send one another friend requests and use it as a sort of social media platform. Although the App was being tested, it would be officially launched by Vice-Chancellor M. Krishnan on February 20, Mr. Dharmaraj said.
