Program Structures, Specializations & Backlog
Define any program — from 3-year BA to 5-year integrated law. Specialization tracks, credit mapping, backlog rules, and lateral entry — configured, not coded.
Program & Course Structure
Build any academic program from scratch — or clone an existing one. Map semesters, years, and credit loads in minutes.
Semester & Year Mapping
Define programs with semesters, trimesters, or annual terms. Attach credit requirements per term.
Core, Elective & Audit Courses
Map core papers, elective baskets, and audit courses per semester. Students pick within allowed limits.
CBCS & Traditional Structures
Support Choice Based Credit System alongside traditional fixed-syllabus programs — in the same university.
Clone Across Colleges
Clone the parent program to affiliated colleges. Each college adds local electives without changing the core.
Specialization Tracks
Let students choose their path — after foundation semesters. Each track has its own course map, credit count, and seat limits.
Semester Cutoff Selection
Students choose specializations after a defined semester. Early semesters cover the common foundation.
Track-Wise Course Maps
Each track carries its own set of courses and credit requirements — fully independent of other tracks.
Enrollment Limits & Waitlists
Set maximum seats per track. Students who miss the cutoff join a waitlist with automatic promotion.
Appears on Transcripts
The chosen specialization prints on transcripts and degree certificates — no manual entry needed.
Backlog & ATKT Management
Every university has carry-forward rules. Configure yours once. The system enforces them every semester — automatically.
Configurable ATKT Rules
Set carry-forward rules per regulation — maximum allowed backlogs, grace papers, and promotion criteria.
Auto-Flag Excess Backlogs
Students who exceed the allowed limit get flagged. Exam sections and advisors see the alert instantly.
Separate Backlog Exams
Schedule backlog exams with their own seating plans, invigilators, and evaluation workflows.
Clearance Progress Tracking
Students see pending papers on their dashboard. Advisors track clearance semester by semester.
Lateral Entry & Migration
Accept students mid-program with full credit transfer. Map prior learning to your syllabus with clear equivalence rules.
Mid-Program Credit Transfer
Accept lateral entry students at any semester. Map their prior credits to your program automatically.
University-to-University Mapping
Map credits from other universities to your local program using subject-pair equivalence tables.
Equivalence Rules per Subject
Define which external subjects match your local papers. The system validates matches during admission.
Migration Certificate Tracking
Track migration certificates and transfer records end-to-end — from request to issuance.
Quick Answers
Can we define different specializations within the same program?
Yes. Each program can have multiple specialization tracks. Students pick their track after a defined semester cutoff. Each track carries its own course map, credit requirements, and enrollment limits. The chosen specialization prints on transcripts and degree certificates.
How does ATKT/backlog tracking work?
You set carry-forward rules per regulation — maximum allowed backlogs, grace papers, and promotion criteria. The system flags students who exceed the limit. It also schedules separate backlog exams, assigns seating, and tracks clearance until every pending paper is cleared.
Does it support CBCS (Choice Based Credit System)?
Yes. You can define core, elective, and audit courses per semester with credit weights. Students pick electives within the allowed range. The system enforces minimum credit thresholds and validates choices against seat availability before enrollment locks.
Can lateral entry students get credit transfer?
Yes. You map prior credits from the source university to your local program using subject-pair equivalence rules. The system calculates how many credits transfer, places the student in the correct semester, and maintains a full audit trail of the mapping.
Can affiliated colleges customize the program structure?
Yes. You clone the parent university structure to affiliated colleges. Each college can then add local electives or adjust optional papers without altering the core syllabus. The parent university retains read access and approval control over any changes.
