Why in News? 

The Uttar Pradesh government is set to fully implement the ‘Samarth’ portal across all universities and colleges in the state by the academic year 2025-26. 

  • This initiative is part of the government’s mission to transform higher education into a more transparent, efficient, and technology-driven system. 

Key Points 

  • Features of the Samarth Portal:  
    • The Samarth platform is designed to streamline administrative processes in higher education institutions. These functions will be managed entirely through this digital platform, reducing administrative overhead and improving workflow efficiency.  
    • According to the roadmap from the state’s Higher Education Department, by the end of 2025, all private ERP systems in educational institutions will be phased out, with Samarth becoming the exclusive system in use. 
    • The introduction of this new system is expected to ease the faculty promotion process, making it more transparent and trackable.  
      • Under the career advancement scheme, teachers will find it easier to apply for promotions, and the entire selection process will be visible to all. 
  • Current Status: 
    • All government universities and affiliated colleges in Uttar Pradesh have already registered on the Samarth portal. 
    • Many institutions have started utilizing the system for functions like salary processing, expense management, leave tracking, admissions, and examinations. 
    • Online student registrations are already in progress, simplifying the admission process. 
  • Centralised Admission System: 
    • To further enhance transparency, the state government has introduced a centralised admission system effective July 2025 
    • All student admissions will now be conducted through a single unified portal, ensuring greater uniformity and transparency.  
      • The trial phase of this centralised system has already been successfully completed. 
  • Future Developments: 
    • In addition to the Samarth portal, the UP government is working on a separate online portal dedicated to managing seminars, research projects, academic awards, and research grants.  
      • This will provide a more transparent and simplified process for academicians and researchers.
