How to Get Login Access to BABRONE

You can search and view BABRONE without an account. You need a login only to add or edit data. Getting access takes four steps: Register, wait for approval, receive the email, then log in.

Step 1: Register

Open the Log In page and click New User Registration.
Click the Registration Form button. The form opens.

Fill in the form:

Field	What to enter
Full Name	Your full name.
Institution Name	Type your institution name and click Find in Database. Choose your institution from the list that appears. If it is not found, download the form shown on screen, fill it in, and send it to us.
Department	Choose your department. If it is not listed, choose Other and type its name.
Designation	For example, Assistant Professor or Research Scholar.
Email ID	A valid email address that you use. The approval email is sent here, and you will use it to log in.
Password	At least 6 characters, with at least one capital letter, one small letter and one number. Type the same password again in Confirm Password.
Preferred Role	See the table in the next section.
Contact Number	Your phone number.
DBT-funded BIF / Biotech-Hub	Answer Yes or No. If Yes, say in which capacity.

Click the Register button at the bottom of the form.
You will go to the Log In page and see the message "Registration successful! Your account will get activated only after verification of your credentials." This means your registration was received. You cannot log in yet.

Which role should I choose?

Role	Who it is for	What you can do
Individual User / Scientist	Faculty and scientists	Add, edit and delete your own data only.
Student	Students, research fellows, RAs	View only. Students cannot add or edit data.
Departmental User	Authorised person of a department	Manage the data of your department and its scientists.
Institutional User	Authorised person of an institution	Manage the data of your institution, its departments and scientists.

Departmental and Institutional access need a letter. Send a letter from the head of your department or institution, on official letterhead, saying you are allowed to upload and edit data on its behalf. Email a scanned copy to babrone[at]ac[dot]in. Until the letter is verified, you will be given the lowest level that fits.

Step 2: Wait for approval

The BABRONE administrator checks every registration. Your account stays inactive until then. This usually takes 2 working days. Registering again with the same email will not make it faster, and it will be rejected, because the email is already in use.

Step 3: Look for the approval email

When your account is activated, you will receive an email from no-reply@avfu.ac.in with the subject "Your BABRONE account is activated".

The email may not be in your main inbox. Please check the Updates, Promotions and Spam folders too. If you find it in Spam, mark it as Not spam. The email does not contain your password.

Step 4: Log in

Open the Log In page.
Enter your registered email ID and the password you chose at registration.
Click Login. You will see your Dashboard.

After you log in: adding your scientist profile

On the Dashboard, open Add New Scientist Details and fill in your profile.
After you submit, note down the Scientist ID shown on the screen.
Your profile is checked by the administrator and appears on the website once verified. Your account is also linked to your profile at that time.

Problems?

I did not receive any email	Check Updates, Promotions and Spam. Then check that the email address you registered with is correct. If it is still missing after 2 working days, write to babrone[at]ac[dot]in with your name and registered email ID.

The password is not accepted at registration	It needs at least 6 characters, with a capital letter, a small letter and a number.
