Academic Management System

Academic Management System (AMS) has been customized by the NAHEP Component - 2 Project Team at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute (IASRI) for the implementation at various Agricultural Universities. It is a web enabled system for management of all the various academic activities of the university. The system caters to the needs of different users: Dean, Registrar, Professor, Head, Guide, Faculty, Teacher, Student, Administrators and Officials for performing their assigned tasks. A System has been designed in a modular approach with in-built work flows. System ensures that the individuals responsible for the next task are notified and receive the data they need to execute at their stage of process. At present five modules have been envisaged viz., Student Management, Faculty 2 Management, Course Management, Administration Management and E-Learning. AMS facilitates in automation of various academic processes of the university and enhances the efficiency of the overall system by saving time and efforts involved in manual processes. It continues to be customized as per the respective needs of the various universities. The Project supports the Country Partnership Strategy and addresses the three engagement areas of integration, transformation and inclusion. These engagement areas foresee increased agricultural productivity and support quality improvements of higher education to create a more skilled workforce that continuously improves the productivity of key sectors, including agriculture. The proposed Project is also a multi-Global Practice collaboration (Agriculture and Education) and is expected to support activities and results directly related to cross-cutting strategic areas of climate change, jobs and gender.
