incorporated this year included – automated messages,
student calling and scheduling of visits, increased
infrastructure and resources planned which avoided
crowding at any point, process explained and
distributed as a hand-out to the incoming students for
the ease of understanding the sequence and location of
the venues to be approached, all the areas viz.
registration, helpdesk, document verification, data entry
, recreation room were sequenced and designed to be at
the single entrance floor so to avoid the students and
their guardians to run from pillar to post , continuous
availability of photocopy facility, refreshments and any
other requirement was ensured throughout the process.

and friendly environment at SIOM. This was a major
source of motivation to work for improvement in the
