Teacher Panel Overview
The Teacher Panel is the daily academic workstation for every faculty member — a unified portal to mark attendance, manage assignments and tests, enter marks, handle student leaves, submit question papers, and communicate with the department. Everything a teacher needs, in one place.
Role Scope: Each teacher sees only their own allocated classes and subjects. A teacher cannot view or modify data belonging to another teacher's classes unless explicitly assigned by the HOD.
System Architecture
The Teacher Panel is organized into 11 functional modules, each addressing a specific aspect of a teacher's academic responsibilities.

Assignment submissions waiting for grading and marks entry tasks that are yet to be completed.
Leave Approvals
Student leave requests that require the teacher's first-level review and action.
