What is Samarth Portal?

Let me first introduce you to this portal. So basically, it is a free digital platform designed for Indian universities and colleges where teachers, students and administrators can complete almost all their work digitally.

Let’s consider it as the WhatsApp of college life. Instead of visiting 10 different departments for a single approval, you can simply open the portal, make a few clicks and complete your job. Also, this will save you from standing in queues.

Today, over 200 universities and colleges across India have adopted this platform to process admission applications, hostel booking, fee payment, distributing admit cards, and publishing results. In a nutshell, if your institution operates through Samarth, you hardly need to visit the campus office again.

Who Can Access the Samarth Portal?

The portal is not only for learners but also for all university members.

For students

If you are applying for a course, presently pursuing or even doing your PhD, you can choose Samarth. New candidates register with their email and mobile number. Existing students receive login credentials from their institution after admission.

For faculty

Professors and assistant professors receive faculty login credentials from the university. They choose it to upload internal marks, mark attendance and manage course materials. It is also used to approve student requests.

For admin staff

Office staff, accountants, librarians, and hostel wardens all receive their separate login credentials. They manage fee processing, staff salaries, hostel rooms, and grievances from a single portal.

For aspirants

If you have not yet been admitted to the institution but wish to apply, you can still register on the admission portal during the application window. You do not need any old ID; instead, keep your email, mobile, and basic details ready.

How to Register on Samarth Portal?

Samarth portal registration is very easy, but you should be ready with some things. Organize your 10th certificate, your mobile, email password and a stable internet connection. Here are the steps to register yourself on Samarth:
