Higher education institutions (HEIs) in the nation will be digitalized using the open source project SAMARTH. A project of the Union Ministry of Education, SAMARTH provides more than 40 software modules for the control of various processes in five essential areas of university operations and administration, including admissions. Since 2019, SAMARTH has been expanded to a variety of higher education institutions, including colleges, NITs, IIITs, IIMs, IISERs, state universities, central universities, and other institutions of national significance. 

The DHE has made clear its intention to handle college admissions through the SAMARTH e-Gov suite, despite the fact that many universities are unsure if they will need to transition over to SAMARTH for the upcoming admissions, which will begin in June. 

The DHE has made clear its intention to handle college admissions through the SAMARTH e-Gov suite, despite the fact that many Assam colleges are unsure if they will need to transfer over to SAMARTH for the upcoming admissions, which will begin in June.

With the assistance of the Assam education department, the SAMARTH e-Gov suite of the Centre would replace the current system of admission in Assam colleges, according to The Times of India. 

According to a letter from the Assam directorate of higher education (DHE) to the nodal college principals of the districts, the state directorate of higher education has decided to onboard all higher educational institutions run by the state government in the SAMARTH e-Gov suite. 

In a letter to the nodal principals of all districts, Assam's director of higher education, Dharmakanta Mili, asked them to work with the principals of the other institutions in their districts to ensure attendance at the necessary online hands-on training. The SAMARTH team from Delhi and DHE, Assam will work together to coordinate the online hands-on training, which will start at 1 p.m.
