The app will also instantly notify students as well as teachers of any important notices, circulars or new programmes. Moreover, students will be able to pay their college fees online via the app.
Keeping updates on assignments will also be facilitated through the application.
Come admission time, the app will enable students to check the availability of seats in each course of every college in Haryana, and will also allow them to gain information about possible scholarship programmes.
Director of the state’s higher education department A Sreenivas stated that the Shiksha Setu app will improve transparency in the department and in college administration, while also allowing students, teachers, parents and officials to stay connected.
