Long term access - more than 7 days

For visitors who may be requiring internet access and other related facilities for more than 7 days, and for contract employees, all faculty members and designated staff from the departments/centers can directly create user accounts from Long term account portal. The accounts are activated within one hour automatically. However, after account creation, the hard copy of the account creation details with signatures of the visitor and the creator, and the concerned head will have to be sent to the CSC for validation, without which the account will get automatically deactivated after 7 days. These accounts will have email and disk space facilities.
