The college has been taking proactive steps in taking the institution towards information being available at the click of the mouse. A start up incubated by our college incubation and entrepreneurship cell has guided the young entrepreneurs of Future Tech who manage our computerised fee receipt, roll call data generation along with a unique code provided to every student admitted to our Institution. A student is tagged with this unique code for examination, along with his subjects. The data is linked to the examination section for mark sheets, results and provisional passing certificate from UG to PG. Online student enrolment and eligibility for entry level UG and PG classes and generation of transfer certificate online  is done through MKCL portal.   The student attendance and SMS alerts are sent through the online services of FRUGAL solutions wherein the Identity card which have RFID is used for marking attendance and reports are generated online. The library and Information services are automated using SOUL software. Books being bar coded enables easy stock. Online examination solutions are provided by Tech catalyst. Employers can verify the   student documents like mark sheets online through e verify. Placements are managed online through calyx pod. Project management to a certain extent is done through Trello. Accounts are management through Tally. Payroll management is done through Sensys. Salaries are generated online through HTE Sevarth a Maharashtra Government Initiative.

With the implementation of Autonomy College realised that documentation is a big task and the best way to achieve it was to have a robust system for automation. The first half was spent with meetings with vendors. The examinations are conducted and results are processed by the college under autonomy. However, convocation degree certificates are awarded by the University this involved the transfer all semester marks to the portal of University. To avoid duplication of work college has signed an MOU with MKCL which manages the online student enrolment and eligibility at the entry level  at the UG and PG level thus the entire ERP is being developed from admission till the student leaves the college which includes online generation of transfer certificate. Future employers can verify the  student documents through an online portal e verify. The student attendance and SMS alerts are sent through  the online services of FRUGAL solutions who provides identity card with RFID which is used for marking attendance and reports are generated online. The library and information services are automated using SOUL software since the books are bar coded stock taking becomes easy. Tech catalyst provides platform for online examinations. Placements are managed by CalyxPod. Departmental activities are documented through google forms. Accounts are managed through Tally. Payroll management is through Sensys. Salaries are generated through online portal HTE Sevarth Maharashtra Government Initiative. Students statistics is maintained through AISHE and MIS.
