Abstract:
Leave Recommendation and Approval System (LRAS) is proposed as a platform for enabling the students and faculty of Military College of Signals to efficiently apply and process their leave applications.
Every day many faculty members and students have to apply for leave for different reasons. Its hectic job for the authorities and the applicants as well to follow a manual system that is currently in practice in MCS. The applicant first has to visit the administration to write their name in the registers or get an application printed, which are then carried by the staff members to each authority that is included in the hierarchy for recommendation and approval. The authority maybe absent or sometimes the staff member may take longer than usual to get the applications approved. The applicant may have to wait for days, not knowing about the status of his/her application. The system is inconvenient and inefficient.
The LRAS will automate this entire system making it more efficient and convenient for applicant, staff members and authorities. The system will be transparent as the user will be able to keep a track of the application status. The authorities will be notified on their account about any application they have to recommend or sign. If the authority is not present due to any reason, the rights will be shifted to the higher authority. The authorities will not have to go through papers to keep a track of all the faculty or student members on leave. An overall leave record will be maintained for each user showing their leave history. A text message will be sent to the authority if the leave is kept unattended for 48 hours. The system will reduce the workload of leave approval in MCS to none.
