Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology deployed PeopleSoft Campus Solutions Program Enrollment

Founded in 1956 with a campus spread across a sprawling 250 acres, Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology, located in Patiala, India has been a pioneer in engineering education, research, and innovation.

Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology has been accredited with an A+ grade by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).

Background

Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology uses PeopleSoft Campus Solutions hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology follows a bi-annual semester enrollment process for over 5,000 students:

• Semester 1: July – December
• Semester 2: January – June

Challenge

During Semester 1 (July 2024), the enrollment process was mostly manual, requiring two months of effort from two full-time employees from the academic administration team.

Solution

For Semester 2 (January 2025), Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology deployed:
