Problem Statement
The Key Challenges
Engineering colleges affiliated with Osmania University faced significant challenges in accessing and analyzing academic results effectively. Our research identified that these problems affected students, teachers, head of department, and college administrators the most.
Primary Problems Identified
1. Limited Access & Visibility
Core Issues
- Results only accessible via individual hall ticket numbers
- Results scattered across multiple, temporary university URLs.
- No comprehensive view of batch, department, or college performance
- Manual result checking is a time consuming process
- Server overload during result announcement days
- Faculty and administration lack insight into department or college-wide performance for improvements.
- Difficulty in decision-making on re-evaluation due to lack of impact analysis.
2. Data Fragmentation
Problem Area | Description | Impact |
---|---|---|
Scattered Links | New URLs for each semester | Historical data inaccessible |
Link Expiration | Result links expire over time | Permanent data loss |
No Aggregation | Individual result silos | No comparative analysis possible |
Real-World Scenarios
Student Perspective
"I spent hours manually checking results of my classmates to understand where I stand.
"There was no way to know if paying for revaluation would improve my CGPA meaningfully."
Faculty Perspective
"We couldn't identify which subjects were consistently challenging for students or compare our department's performance with others. This limited our ability to improve teaching methods."
Administrative Perspective
"Without aggregated data, we couldn't make informed decisions about curriculum changes, faculty development, or resource allocation."
Current systems provide only isolated data per student, limit transparency, and hinder both academic self-assessment and institutional improvement.
