Abstract
In contemporary higher education institutions, faculty self-appraisal plays a pivotal role in ensuring quality education and fostering professional development. Decision-making is often slowed down and clarity is diminished by the paperwork-intensive processes used in manual faculty evaluations. The "Automated System for Career Advancements of the Faculties of Higher Education," a web-based platform intended to modernize and expedite the faculty self-appraisal process, is presented in this paper. Faculty members can log and monitor their professional activities, such as research publications, event participation, seminars, and lectures, in real time with the system's user-friendly interface. While an administrative panel provides university administrators with consolidated access to appraisal data for well-informed decision-making regarding faculty development and resource allocation, secure registration and login features guarantee data confidentiality. The suggested solution supports more general objectives of sustainable and paperless administrative practices while improving the effectiveness and transparency of the appraisal process through the use of technology. In the end, it helps to advance high-quality education by fostering a culture of continuous improvement that allows institutions to identify and reward excellence in faculty performance.
