Venkateswara College set up credit machine for convenience of parents and students

With a view to help parents and students one of the south campus college Sri Venkateswara College is planning to set up two credit machines in the college so that parents and students can easily deposit fees using debit and credit cards. Fees can also be deposited through demand drafts, cash and online through the Delhi University website www.du.ac.in.

College Principal Hemalatha Reddy explained, “We are taking up this initiative to expedite the admissions process and to cut down on long queues. We will accept all types of debit and credit cards, of all the banks, except American Express”.

Nirmal Kumar, the admissions conveyor at Sri Venkateswara, informed, “It takes hours to count cash. Besides, parents and students have to wait in long queues. We also often get complaints of duplicate Rs 500 notes. This computerized system will prevent that as well,” Kumar said.

He added, “As far as the college authorities are concerned, data will be available with the click of a button. It will reduce paper work as well”.
