Sharda University, Greater Noida recently launched a smart card for its students. This card will not only simplify life for students, but also put less stress on resources and reduce paperwork. Just one card will be used as identity, banking, library, lab, health, mess, fees, academic record, sports, internet, attendance and examination entrance card.

“We aim to provide world-class academic facilities to the students. So far students had to use different cards for different facilities. Now the smart card will save the students’ time and energy. Also there will be less chances of mistake or confusion on administrative level by using just one card for all the purposes,” said the Vice Chancellor R.P. Singh.

Biometric technology will be used to identify students and a centralised system on the campus will provide unique identification to every student. The university is spread over 63 acres and is known for using technology effectively to strengthen its infrastructure. Students on the campus can access notes and curriculum online. The research and technology development centre at Sharda University also gained an ISO 9001:2008 certification, a quality management standard for its efforts to maintain quality
