The adoption of the smart campus technologies has the potential to revolutionizing the management of higher education, increasing operation efficiency, improving administrative effectiveness and enhancing academic delivery. This systematic review aims to identify major challenges and explore how these technologies help in avoiding such obstacles in the implementation of smart campus. It also assesses the degree to which such measures are more effective in enhancing the operational, administrative and academic productivity management. An exhaustive review process was conducted with the help of PRISMA guidelines wherein articles, publications and journals from IEEE Xplore, SpringerLink and ScienceDirect were used. The study shows that the smart campus can help in effective management of resources, increase the rate of decision making through the use of data and foster more flexible learning environments. However, the institutions may struggle to implement with challenges such as cost, data security, integration with the existing systems and resistance from the stakeholders. The findings show that strong institutional strategies, leadership support, stakeholder engagement and capacity building efforts were the major success factors. Thus, it can be stated that this review shows that smart campus concepts can be more effective in comparison with the traditional campus management in terms of performance and improve academic productivity. Further, this research also focuses on the effects of the smart campus model on the institutions in the long run how it can be applied to various educational systems.
