  • Conference years should be within a reasonable timeframe (not before the faculty's date of birth and not after the current year)
  • For multi-value fields (qualifications, experience, etc.), all current entries must be filled before adding a new entry
  • All three conference fields (name, year, role) must be completed before adding another conference entry
  • The system automatically creates a user account for the faculty member with their email as the default password
  • Faculty members should be advised to change their default password upon first login for security purposes
  • The faculty's email address must be unique in the system
  • The system assumes all data entered is valid administrative information (e.g., department names, designations, etc.)
  • All academic information provided (qualifications, specializations, etc.) is assumed to be verified by the academic administrator before entry

Additional Information

  • Contact Number Format: Enter digits only, with country code if applicable
  • Blood Group Format: Use standard notation (e.g., A+, B-, O+, AB+)
  • Data Persistence Warning: Do not refresh or navigate away from the page during submission as this may result in data loss

  • After Successful Submission: You will receive an alert confirming successful addition of the faculty member, and the system will be ready for another entry if needed

Troubleshooting
