He noted that the institutional goal is to migrate all internal processes to integrated digital systems—recognizing this as a fundamental pillar for elevating both academic performance and administrative efficiency.
Marking a significant milestone, this year’s examinations see the College implement electronic assessment for the first time: students have been provided with tablet devices, supported by stable dedicated networks and advanced examination platforms that ensure examinations are conducted in an organized, streamlined and efficient manner.
Vice‑Dean Brigadier Police Ibrahim Yousif Ibrahim confirmed that rolling out electronic assessment represents a landmark qualitative advancement for the College. He highlighted that it is the first such initiative within the institution, and ranks among the earliest implementations of fully electronic examination systems across Sudanese universities in the post‑war period.
He outlined key practical advantages of the system: faster completion of examination procedures, substantial reduction of paper‑based work, improved accuracy throughout the assessment cycle, as well as simplified examination administration, monitoring and more efficient timely release of results.
