According to a senior DU official, work related to this project has been in progress since the last six months. He also added that the app is expected to be launched in a month’s time. The app will help the teachers to effortlessly keep a record of students’ attendance. Students with less than required attendance percentage will be informed accordingly.
Currently, attendance at various DU colleges including Hindu College , Miranda House , IP College for Women , Zakir Hussain College , etc. is recorded manually on attendance registers. This record is updated on the websites on a monthly basis.
With the help of the new app, teachers will be able to update the attendance on a daily basis. This will also help the students to keep a track of their attendance as it plays a vital role during the issuance of admit cards for the semester or yearly exams.
