Need for Odisha SAMS Portal Launch
Earlier, student admission in Junior (+2) and Degree (+3) colleges was done in offline mode. Students had to go to every college to apply for admission. For example, if a student wanted to apply for five colleges, they had to visit each one. This was a hard task for students. Looking at the effort and cost of the offline admission process, an online (web-based) admission process was planned by the Higher Education Department. This was later named Student Academic Management System (commonly known as SAMS).
Background of Odisha SAMS Initiative
This scheme started in 60 Junior Colleges during the academic session 2009-10 and expanded to 169 junior colleges and 53 degree (+3) colleges during the session 2010-11. After the success of online admission during the sessions 2010-11 and 2011-12 under the SAMS project, it was decided to cover all junior colleges (including +2 self financed colleges) and 162 degree colleges (+3) during the session 2011-12. After getting good feedback from colleges and students, all junior and degree / autonomous students came under the SAMS fold and it was approved by the Government of Odisha.
Students can now take online admission into Junior / Higher Secondary School and degree (+3) classes of Arts, Commerce and Science streams along with Vocational and Sanskrit educational institutions through the SAMS portal. This admission process, carried out through internet and computers, is called e-Admission. Now, SAMS covers more courses in addition to the above, including Correspondence, ITI, Diploma, Teacher Education, and Physical Education of different departments. Besides e-Admission, SAMS also keeps the academic and financial records of each student admitted into the different educational institutions.
