Navi Mumbai: Unlike other hapless students queuing up to get railway concession forms, Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology (RAIT) engineering college students will be able to access and fill in forms easily. Three students from the department of information and technology, Ankit Singh, Akash Rai and Manali Killedar, have created and uploaded the format of the concession form on the college website. Students can key in the required details at their convenience and take a print from the college office within two days. The trio has also got their online project published in the International Journal of Computer Engineering and Technology (IJCET, Version 5 issue 5). The web page has been active for the past five months.

“Both students and management went through a harrowing time to access and process the forms. That prompted us to think of making the process online and avoid the manual procedure. Currently, students have to send an online request for a railway concession form and the college authorities will print them out accordingly,” said one of the web designers, Singh.

The RAIT students are happy with the process as it is hassle-free.

“Every month, there used to be a lot of chaos, as students would queue up in front of college office to procure the forms. Additional staffers were assigned to manage the students. Also, manual filling up of forms led to more errors in the data,” said senior engineering student Mahesh Garje.
