Problem
Manual research submission resulted in lost files, slow reviews, and lack of central monitoring. Faculty/invigilators had no unified dashboard for real-time decisions or compliance tracking; students struggled with fragmented submission processes.

Process
- Gathered requirements from academic leadership, researchers, and technical staff.
- Built role-based modules for student, invigilator, coordinator, and admin.
- Automated research upload, storage, file versioning, and archival.
- Developed moderation workflow: bulk assignment, review, annotate, accept/reject, history log.
- Set up alerts for both pending actions and archive/report deadlines.
- Ensured data security, backup, and digital compliance.
- Delivered sessions and training for user onboarding.

Outcome
- 100% digital, trackable, and auditable student research process.
- Faster reviews and turnaround (no lost paperwork or email delays).
- Clear status visibility to students and university leaders.
- Greater compliance with state rules; secure university archives.
- Enhanced data-driven planning through analytics modules.
