Web based Student Management System

Abstract

National Institute of Business Management is the premier training institute in Sri Lanka, which is functioning as a statutory body under the Ministry of Skills Development, Vocational and Technical Education. The web-based system will increase the productivity and the customer satisfaction by automating student registration & other student administration work. In an increasingly competitive education/ training industry, the imperative need and search for efficient, cost effective techniques, particularly through application of computer and communication technology has dramatically intensified. Attending to student matters manually results a series of problems for the student as well as for the staff in an educational institute. Therefore this project focus on solving these problems through a web based (On-Line) system where the Students, Course Secretaries & Course Administrators can access the system from any location. At the time of login, system identifies the user category and provided different types of links. For the course administrator login: it provides Backup database, Distribute exam details, generate reports, create and modify course catalogs. For the course secretary login: it provides uploading student marks/ attendance detail, print result sheets and view student details. A student/ customer can register and do online payment, course selection, submit assignments, view student module marks/ details of attendance on different courses etc. Providing student guidance with dynamic information is a major advantage in this system. Reader is provided with blend of technical and management information in a simplified manner, which is meant for easy understanding even by a non-technical user. The system has been implemented using Web & Database technologies to run on Windows platform. The system has been evaluated by using test data and based on the evaluation we conclude that the project was successful.
