IN THE WAKE of increasing implementation of IT solutions in the education sector, Ajeenkya DY Patil University has set a benchmark in India’s education space with its unique Competency-based Transcript System. The university is also studying the blockchain technology for future implementation
Technology has ensured democratisation of knowledge. As one of the largest universities in the country, the Ajeenkya DY Patil University (ADYPU) is increasingly focusing on technology-intensive, innovative education. The university is embracing the twin engines of globalisation – technology and innovation. Technology is its key for enabling infrastructure besides the buildings and facilities. Annually, ADYPU spends approimately 5 crore on IT, including the subscriptions, software licenses and hardware addition. Year-on year the university increases the allocation.
Role of IT
ADYPU’s academics, through its standards-based curriculum and student centred pedagogy, is managed by its own ERP system, which integrates and automates all the academic and nonacademic services/resources of the university in one single interface. It is a vital link between the university, students and parents, wherein students are able to access data connected to their performance in real time.
Academic services include credit registration for all programs, students’ records, all academic session plans and students’ academic performance. Students are not limited to a set of courses within their own specialisation. They have the freedom to choose courses across the nine schools of study. Students here receive credits in multiple ways. They attend semesters at partner institutions and they learn through MOOCs guided and evaluated by ADYPU’s faculty. This way, their world of learning is not limited to what’s provided from the ADYPU platform or what is ordained for them. They discern, they choose, and they learn what appeals to them in accordance with their career goals. All of these can be tracked and managed by the ERP, making it a blend of both management of academics as well as academic performance.
