Student Academic Management System (SAMS) is an integrated portal which provides a common platform for admission into various courses across the State through e-Admission and also several e-Services to students at institution level through e-Administration. Prior to the launch of SAMS, student admission was manual, time-consuming, and expensive.

Looking at the amount of effort and expenses incurred through the Offline admission process, Online (web-based) admission process was planned by Higher Education Department. This was later named as Student Academic Management System (commonly known as SAMS).
