Wireless & Convergence

a.  Wireless:

Using wire less hand held devices including wireless notebooks, students, faculty and staff can tap into the academic and infrastructure resource base

 WWAN:

The independent networks of the different campuses of an institutes, located within an aerial distance of 25 Kms, can be connected through an 11 Mbs wireless bridge network. The facility enables an user, in any of the campuses, seamless access to the integrated centralized computing facility of the institute. 

WLAN:

The internal network of an institute/premise can be made wireless by a network of 56 Mbps access points. Using Wireless LAN (WLAN) and wire less hand held devices viz. wireless notebooks students, faculty and staff can tap into the academic resource base.

b.  Convergence:

Convergence involves the concept of integrating data, voice and video communication through the same IP medium. The very technology reduces the need of different infrastructure for facilities like data, voice (telephony), video (video conferencing, circuit TV etc).

Data

It involves the use of Hi-end servers with storage devices for programming and soft ware application requirements of the institute. The choice of servers and storage devices would depend upon the specific requirement (in terms of traffic and type of application) of the institute.

Voice

The latest technology (VoIP) involves the voice communication though the same  network though with data is transmitted. The convention PBX is replaced by and Hi-end server.

Video

The use of IPTV technology enables an user or a student to view streaming video / video-on-demand or participate in a video conferencing through the same network through with data and voice are transmitted.

 On-line entrance examination

The on-line entrance examination solution envisages to revolutionize the way entrances and conducted by brining in the benefits of automation to this sphere.  This solution has successfully launched through KIIT Entrance Examination 2005. 

 Solution Overview:

End-to-end automation of the examination process including:

• Application submission
• Application Processing
• Admit Card: Generation of Admit Cards, Centre Allotment, On-line Retrieval
• On-line testing
• Automatic Evaluation and Result Publication
• Counseling: Call letters, on-line counseling information, seat allocation
• Fees Collection
• Automatic Migration to Student Database
• Robust Security

 Benefits:

Online entrance examination eliminates a host of resource (people, time and money) hungry processes like application processing, printing of answer scripts, logistics of sending answer scripts to and from test centers, armies of support staff to take care of all the processing, inordinately long cycle times etc. 

 Case Study:

KIIT has added another feather in the cap by conducting an All India on-line entrance examination (KIIT Entrance Examination – KIITEE 05). More than 14,000 students across 9 locations took KIITEE 05, which was spread over 2 days. The backbone of KIITEE 05 was the online examination software solution (developed by Kalingasoft an associate company) which took care of end-to-end automation encompassing on-line application, exam center allocation, admit card generation, testing, result publication and counseling.

This helped significantly reduce (as compared to traditional models) cost of conducting examinations, crunching cycle times for the entire process and also simplifying the logistical complexities of the process. KIITEE also bought about greater transparency and information secrecy as the involvement of various intermediaries for different activities like printing and transportation of question papers was eliminated.

 KIIT is delighted by the response from the user community on KIITEE and has started preparing for KIITEE 06. As Dr. P. K. Mishra, founder and Pro-Chancellor of KIIT said, ‘the success of KIITEE 05 vindicates our strategy of technology driven differentiation and process enhancement leveraging our technology partnership with Kalingasoft.  Based on our learning in KIITEE 05, we will come back with significant enhancements, and further revolutionize the process of conducting entrance examinations.

Education Process Outsourcing

Considering the increasing load on the university machinery and the increased load on them to process university related information with lower response time, greater accuracy and greater secrecy. Kalingasoft has introduced the University Process Outsourcing solution.

Solution:

Student enrollment to the University

• Data entry of student’s data into the university database

• To ensure correctness, completeness and integrity of data, we propose a dual data entry system wherein the same data would be entered by two data entry operators. A software program would check and report the differences and the non-matching data would be corrected by referring to the hard copy.

• If University so desires, identity cards for each student enrolled to the university can be printed with revised commercials. The extra cost for the same is likely to be student

Registration

• The students fill up their registration form on pre-printed OMR sheets (Registration form) as per the format decided by University

• The registration form is sent by the colleges to the university

• The registration forms are scanned and the information is captured in the university database.

• Exception reports of students enrolled but have not registered can be generated.

Generation of Admit Card

• Based on the details given in the examination form, the software would print the admit cards as per the format of the university
• The university will dispatch the admit card to the colleges

Answer Sheets

• The answer sheets  have an OMR sheet attached with three sections as mentioned below:
  Section-1: For Student’s Roll Number and bar code that corresponds to the answer sheet number
  Section-2: For the Bar code of the answer sheet number (to be kept by the university
  Section-3: For the examiner to write the marks secured and bar code of the answer sheet number
  
• The format of the OMR sheets is decided by the University

• Section-1 and Section-2 would be cut off and sent to the university before handing over to the examiner for evaluation

• Students roll number and bar code in section-1 will be scanned and the match between the answer sheet number and roll number will be established in the database. Capture of marks secured into the database
• The examiner will fill up section-3 of the answer sheet
• The bar code of the answer sheet number and students marks in section-3 will be scanned and the data will be captured in the University database

• The software will match the student roll number to the marks secured using the answer sheet number

• The software will automatically grade the as per the university rules and prepare the grade sheets

• The software will provide the facility for printing the tabulation sheet after the grading is completed

• The marks results will be declared over the web as on a date given by the university

• The software provides the facility to print the grade sheet of individual students after completion of the above activities

 Benefits:

• Lower Response time  - Result publication in 7 days time
• Lower overheads – 75% reduction of examination overheads for our current clients.
• Pin-pointed accountabilities of Kalingasoft
