2.Overall Description
INETMS (IIITMK National Entrance Test Management System) is a project which aims to
provide a web based registration and online Entrance Examination system for admission to
MS-IT programme conducted by IIITM-K.
The present admission system is predominantly manual in all the above mentioned areas,
which makes it cumbersome and difficult to handle, both for the conducting authorities as
well as the candidates.
Considering the available infrastructure, which greatly facilitates the feasibility of this
project, once completed, it will go a long way in simplifying this annual event for everyone
involved.
From a functional point of view, the new system will help to automate substantially, every
phase of the entire admission process of MS-IT programme in IIITM-K, starting from the
registration of candidates for the entrance examination to the final selection.
