How ERP implementation can reform India's Higher Education System?

NAGPUR, India - Sept. 22, 2017 - PRLog -- India is a home to education since the ancient times. It is due to the early education systems which also included the most followed traditions in the name of Guru-Shishya parampara. These traditions however cannot be implemented now and that the new technologies are included every day to make the teaching and learning processes simpler.

The term 'digitization' defines the digitally growing sectors, which are technologically advanced. This term has made no exception in the field of education as well. The reason behind the education sector being technologically driven is the inclination of both students and the teachers to use the newer technologies in an effort to save time.

This changing technology deals with the changing aspects both in terms of quality and quantity. The new kinds of software are being implemented to deal with the overly burdened universities, schools, and colleges, both in terms of work and the student activities. The answer to every question of the overworked lies in the technologically advanced education ERP software. This software is known to do wonders to the education society. In the changing times, it not only works to effectively handle the student's records but also saves the time and effort of the staff members. This helps them focus entirely on the academics.

India is known to have the maximum number of schools and colleges. It sees a number of students attending them day in and day out. The students are in masses and it gets difficult to keep a record of all the students and hence, technology comes as a savior. Implementation of higher education software is the need of digitalized era.

Using these technologies makes the higher education institutions to save their time and effort. The technology delivers the best experience to the students. The experience is in case of learning and other activities. Learning plays an important part in a student's life and the internet makes it easy. The knowledge can be accessed from anywhere, anytime. This makes the data more accessible.

Let us take a look at India's Higher Education System post implementation of the ERP :

Increases student's involvement:

Implementing an ERP increases the involvement of the students in their academic processes. A student spends maximum time of the day on his Smartphone. This makes him more connected to the institution. Using the devices is easy for the students. The best part of the implementing the ERP is the interaction between the students and the staff members where they can connect with each other.

Reduces workload of the staff:

A tedious job at an educational institution is to work day in and day out to keep the records of the students. However, with the implementation of the ERP, the workload of the staff reduces. The staff members can then focus on the work that is relevant to the academics.

Provides a platform for e-learning:

The interaction is simpler on the virtual platform. The students not only interact with the staff but also access the e-library and the number of books available on the online platform by the means of the online learning.

Digital attendance:

There was a time when schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions would use a notebook or a register to keep the track of attendance of students and teachers. Implementing the ERP makes it easier to also make the sheets to keep the track of the attendance. Nowadays, Biometric & RFID attendance systems are popular among the institutions.  These are secure and track real-time attendance.

Keeping track of examinations and assignments:

India which is a house to as mentioned above a number of universities also holds thousands of examinations every year, which also includes, vivas and practical. Also, the students complete innumerable assignments. A teacher keeps track of the assignments and the grades a student scores on the tests. The implementation of ERP also makes it possible to generate the grades of the students through the system.

The application or the software that is implemented using the Education ERP also acts as a digital notice board for the students. It informs the students about the latest happenings in the campus, which includes college fests and also the campus placements.

Teacher-Parent interaction:

ERP also plays an important role in improving the teacher and parent relationship. The parents are kept well informed about the progress of the students so that they are well aware of the things that a student does at the institute.
