The Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) on June 13, 2025, Mandates the Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS) for All Approved Pharmacy Institutions.
PCI has reiterated its directive for all PCI-approved pharmacy institutions to immediately implement the Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS). This initiative, previously communicated through various circulars, is a mandatory step to enhance faculty attendance monitoring.
Institutions were initially instructed to purchase AEBAS devices and begin the onboarding process via the central PCI portal (https://central.pci.ac.in). Non-compliance could lead to the withdrawal of their decision letters. Once onboarding is complete, each institution will receive a unique URL to their registered email for user (faculty) registration and setting up a nodal administrator on the AEBAS portal. User manuals for both the nodal admin and faculty roles are provided (Annexures A and B, respectively) to guide this process.
