Delhi University (DU) students will get unique identification tags (UIT) from the 2010-11 academic session. This will allow the students to get their details like programmes, year, and marks as well as manage their academic calendar at the click of a button.

Students will get their UIT during the enrolling process and this will replace their conventional identify card. But this will also have a host of other facilities, such as library card membership and other membership cards. ``This will also help them track their courses they have enrolled, timetable, marks they have scored in different papers,'' said vice chancellor of DU, professor Deepak Pental.

The new system will come into effect from the 2010-11 academic process and is part of the larger process, which includes centralised evaluation system, setup up a central networking system across all the affiliated colleges of the university and most importantly the semester system at the undergraduate level.

The new system is expected to help both the student s and faculties to keep track of the various courses and schedules online. The students will get a smart card which would have an UIT. The number will remain with them for life and even when they have graduated out of the university they can track their profile online.
In the larger plans the university is also planning to issue similar UIT to faculties and non-teaching staffs to make the functioning of the university hassle free and simpler.

The VC had formed an enterprise resource planning committee under which the UIT was to be developed. A global tender was floated and IT firms such as HCL, TCS and Wipro has applied.

All data transmission between the student and institution will be routed through the tag. Teachers will be able to track attendance, date of admission or the marks of students.
