My former engineering college has made it to the news in India.Students of Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE - website: www.sjce.ac.in) won't have to run around the campus to check attendance, timetable, mess and exam fees, semester or internal assessment marks anymore.
All they need to do is just insert a 'smart card' into card readers on touch screen kiosks and they will get all the information they need. The College is planning to introduce 'e-purse' where the administrative block and bank will be networked through the LAN (local area network). With a view to ensure discipline among teaching and non-teaching staff, the management has also installed radio frequency identifier to keep track on them.
"We have already received 27 cards so far, which will be issued to the non-working staff, who will flash it on the identifier. We can easily check their attendance", our present principal has informed.
The cards will also contain residential addresses, contact numbers and blood groups of students.
Smart cards will be used for many purposes. Students can also pay mess bills, exam fees and others.
This is the first time such stuff is being tried out in India.It is really nice to read and learn more about such things.The other links for today are www.simpy.com and www.scienceblog.com -I am trying these out.The sites are great full of info that I think is awesome.Keeps me updated on whats going on.
