ABSTRACT

The Student information system is developed to process the student data in Kongu Engineering College. The system was developed using System Development Lifecycle approach. Under this approach of system development there are five distinct phases. They are Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation and support.

Planning is done to identifying the scope and boundary of the problem and plans the development strategy and goals to solve the problem. Feasibility study is conducted to determine whether the new information system is a feasible solution.

The user requirements are analyzed to identify the information needs of the end users, the organizational environment and the existing system. The user desires computerization of mark analysis, attendance calculation, feedback analysis and maintenance of student information which are done manually at present. The requirements have been analyzed and divided into small logically compact modules such as Students Bio data, Attendance, Class log book, Examination mark analysis, Circulars, Feedback form and Statistical analysis

Databases are designed with care to accommodate growth in future. User friendly forms have been designed for data entry. These incorporate drop down boxes for class name, staff name and date etc for easy data entry. Simultaneously, the use of dropdown boxes also eliminates incorrect data entry.

iv The system have been developed using procedural design. The procedures used in the design have been discussed with the user before coding. Number of validation checks has been built in to ensure the integrity of data entry. In addition to low level validation such as number field, date field, character field etc.., higher level validation has also been incorporated.

The system is implemented in Kongu Engineering College and tested for errors. Training had been provided for the users regarding the operations of the system. Post implementation review had been conducted to monitor, evaluate and modify the system as needed by the user. The user has expressed satisfaction with the system implemented.
