The NIC Pune Unit recently accomplished a Project for the computerization of the Admission Process in the Maharashtra State Agricultural Universities. The Project involved the development of a software package for the Maharashtra Council for Agriculture Education and Research (MCAER), a State level Apex body responsible for admitting students in agricultural colleges throughout Maharashtra. The merit list of all eligible candidates is prepared after a thorough review based on the various criteria specified by MCAER. The software developed by NIC facilitates this task and has the following modules: On-line Admissions: The candidates are called according to merit and during the counselling, the available colleges and faculties are displayed to him/her on the computer screen, from which the candidate can make his/her choice. After the choice is made, the appropriate quota tables and admission tables are updated. Online Cancellation: This Module facilitates the possibility of cancelling the admission by the candidate if he secures admission in a better college/discipline. The module, in this case releases the respective quota for other candidates. Maintenance of Quota Table: Online admissions are provided on the basis of available seats. The quota table is prepared before the on-line admission procedure begins and takes into account the categorization of available seats according to the various constitutional classes such as SC, ST, OBC etc. Report and Utilities: At the end of each round of councelling as well as at the end of the day, the collegewise list of admitted candidates and various statistical reports are generated for each college and university. The software was extensively used by MCAER during admissions for the year 2000-2001 and councelling was done for a total of about 10,000 candidates.
