USIS - University Student Information System

Project Overview

USIS (University Student Information System) is a comprehensive private higher education management enterprise system deployed at BRAC University. The platform automates the entire academic and administrative lifecycle—starting from student admissions, entry testing, and biometric verification, to course advising, grading, degree audit, convocation, and lifelong alumni relations.

As an institutional backbone for one of Bangladesh's premier private universities, USIS coordinates thousands of concurrent students, faculty members, advisors, department chairs, and finance teams, serving as the central nervous system for academic operations.

Technical Actions & Architecture

Leading end-to-end architecture, high-concurrency database optimizations, and cross-departmental automation:

  • Complete Lifecycle Automation: Automated all processes from admission testing and enrollment to course advising, fee calculation, exams, grade publication, and alumni tracking.
  • High-Concurrency Advising Engine: Engineered the course registration algorithm to handle massive concurrent traffic spikes when thousands of students select slots and sections simultaneously without race conditions or database deadlocks.
  • Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration: Unified student, faculty, and administrative identities through secure SSO (sso.bracu.ac.bd) with granular role-based permissions.
  • Academic Rules & Prerequisite Validation: Real-time validation of credit prerequisites, CGPA requirements, course retake rules, and graduation degree audits.
  • Billing & Financial Clearance: Seamless synchronization between academic registration and accounts/tuition clearance workflows.
