An interactive Student Information system in the cloud is an one stop portal on the internet where the students can get answers to their queries and look up relevant information. The users can check their personal details, communicate with faculties and avail a ”livechat” to get their queries solved. They are also able to access relevant information regarding different activities and events including and not limited to ”attendance”, ”timetable”, ”subject list”, ”college events”, etc. Cloud technologies reduce the challenges faced by traditional systems such as costs associated with development and maintenance. The student support system is ubiquitous in nature since it is hosted in the cloud and uses the power of cloud computing to make the application secure, scalable, and fast. Along with the power of cloud computing, good User Interface/User Experience(UI/UX) is focused upon to ensure that the end-user has a great hassle-free experience. Load balancers are used to handle huge traffic the website might face. User experience principles are used in order to make the portal easy to use.
