Managing Millions of Documents Across 800+ Colleges
The University of Mumbai — one of India's largest universities — manages academic operations for over 800 affiliated colleges and 7 lakh+ students annually. The examination process alone generates enormous volumes of documentation: question papers, answer sheets, grade records, result sheets, and graduation certificates. Add to that student enrolment records, transfer certificates, eligibility documents, and faculty administrative files — the scale is immense.
Key Challenges:
- Examination results delayed due to manual answer sheet processing and physical document movement
- Student record verification for employment or higher studies took weeks
- No centralized system connecting university headquarters with 800+ affiliated colleges
- Certificate and marksheet fraud due to lack of digital verification mechanisms
- Physical storage requirements for decades of answer sheets and academic records were unsustainable
Digital-First Academic Records Management
Student Lifecycle Management
Every student's academic journey — from admission application documents to final degree certificates — is managed digitally. Enrolment forms, identity documents, eligibility certificates, and all academic records are linked to a unified student profile accessible across departments.
Examination Document Processing
Answer sheets are scanned and digitized for secure archival. Question paper distribution, grading sheets, and result tabulation are managed digitally — with AI-assisted auto-grading support (using Sarthi's OCR engine to read answer sheets) dramatically reducing result processing time.
College Network Integration
All 800+ affiliated colleges are connected to the university's central DMS. Colleges submit student records, exam data, and administrative documents digitally — eliminating physical courier of documents and enabling real-time data flow between colleges and the university.
Digital Verification & Anti-Fraud
Every marksheet, degree certificate, and academic document generated through Sarthi DMS carries a digital verification seal. Employers and institutions can verify document authenticity instantly online — eliminating certificate fraud and dramatically speeding up background verification.
