A-IMS – ATME College of Engineering

A-IMS

ATME College of Engineering uses the A-IMS platform – a fully integrated, web-and-mobile end-to-end solution for the complete management of the college. The platform integrates every activity so that data is shared in real time between all stakeholders.

The solution covers the entire student lifecycle – from admission and classification through to alumni – including fee, affiliation, certificate, faculty, attendance, grievance, hall-ticket, USN generation, lesson planning, schema management, mentoring, knowledge library, alumni management and evaluation. It also delivers standard and analytical reports required by the university / college / school.
