“Student data for sticker issuance is being collected through PUMIS portal, enabling a centralised, transparent, secure, and efficient application process,” officials said. “This initiative is aimed at regulating vehicular movement, strengthening campus security and implementing a modern, technology-driven access control system.”
The Panjab University (PU), Chandigarh, on Wednesday launched its “new-generation secure parking” stickers for day scholars for the academic session 2025-2026, to ensure smooth digital verification.
Launched by PU Vice-Chancellor Professor Renu Vig, these stickers are embedded with a QR code for digital verification, a tamper-proof hologram, and a unique encrypted symbol to prevent misuse and duplication. These stickers are printed on a high-quality reflective surface, ensuring better visibility throughout the day and enhanced security, officials said.
The QR codes were securely generated in-house by the students of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) department, University Institute of Engineering and Technology (UIET), who were appointed under the “earn-while-learn” scheme by the Dean Student Welfare (DSW) office, officials said, adding this showcased the university’s commitment to promoting student engagement in real-time applications and skill-building.
“Student data for sticker issuance is being collected through PUMIS portal, enabling a centralised, transparent, secure, and efficient application process,” officials said. “This initiative is aimed at regulating vehicular movement, strengthening campus security and implementing a modern, technology-driven access control system.”
For these advanced stickers, eligible day scholars will have to register through PUMIS portal and validate their registration with the chairperson. “After the completion of distribution, vehicles without valid stickers will not be allowed entry into the campus,” officials said, adding “misuse, tampering or unauthorised transfer of stickers will result in strict disciplinary action”.
