ABSTRACT
In
every institution, admission and result are the most important data which is
the basic for each candidate. The institution makes sure that every student
comes into the institution through a verified process.
On
the other hand, the institution makes sure that every qualified student who is
duely admitted, goes out with a comprehensive result so as to ascertain his/her
studentship.
The
major aim of this project is to enable the institution produce qualify students
that is students who did not come into the institution through falsification of
result and who did not graduate with a maneuvered result. All these will be
achieved by using a system which its operation is not basically manual.
ORGANIZATION
OF WORK
This project work titled designing and implementation
of online system of admission and result checking (a case study of IMT), was
carried out in stages denoted by chapters ranges from chapter one to chapter
seven.
In
chapter one, the researcher looked into the background of the study. The work
also introduced the problems that limited the study was enumerated under
statement of problem. The objective, scope, limitations of system was also
stipulated in chapter one.
Chapter
two tried to gather from secondary sources, materials issues and concept about
the topic study, books, internet websites were reference to get materials in
favour of or against the topic.
Chapter
three called the system description and analysis focused on the topic as well
as the case study. Methods of data collection used were described here, the
problems were analyzed and a new system was proposed here. This chapter
provides what is called requirement specification.
Chapter
four dealt with the designing of the new system. The scope of design, output
and input specification design was discussed. The use of pseudo codes, systems
flowchart, procedure chart was used. The systems specification that will be
required for the development of the new product to take place was also
illustrated.
Chapter
five on its own, dealt on the program design. The implementation stage, covers
all the stages involved in implementation like staff training, review and
maintenance test run. The program was designed using pseudo code. The flowchart
were coded and test run to prove its workability.
Chapter
six is the documentation and it covers the user and operational manual and some
program designed and their uses. Finally, chapter seven recommended some
approaches for the work and its conclusion.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Contemporally, system of doing jobs, sales of
goods and services and many other ways of doing different things, keeps on
changing with time. In this age, the way of doing most things are more or less
contemporal to automation compare with some of the ages which human race had
passed through since the existing of human being on earth. Some of this ages includes: stone age, manual
age, mechanical age and the now existing automation age which is the use of
computer and other automation relation devices to quicking or make jobs easier
than before. As it concern this project, the type of job involved is to make
information decemination and data collection easy, last any place and at any
time.
For
the system of admission and result checking system in a high institution, it
had been stress on both the students looking for admission, students checking
their results and the admission personnel’s of high institution, as a result of
the manual way of handling admission and result checking. As a result of the
automation age in which we are now, it will be of beneficial to the high
institutions in Nigeria by reducing fraud risk, stress etc which involve in the
process of admission and result checking, if there will be online system of
doing the above mentioned things.
Before
the above system can be in existence, there will a good study and understanding
of the existing system and requirement for the new system to be in existence.
Since it involves online, there must be a need for computers and other online
information management tools such as internet facilities etc.
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In recent times, there had been problems of
admission processes which ranges from proud on the part of the admission
personnel in which they engage in admitting their relations or whoever that
gives them a huge amount of money to the stress encounter by the admitting
personnel and the admission sicking candidate. Another problem is the
expenditure involved both on the part of the candidate and the high institution
in question a case study, IMT Enugu. Also the use of take result to going
admission is another problem faced by the existing system.
The
already admitted students on their own part, encounters a lot of stress while
checking their result and the institution also encounter a lot of problem in
processing, printing and pasting of result. The problem includes the stress,
resources wastage i.e human, materials and financial aspects.
Sometimes,
as a result of typographical error, inadequate printing impression, tearing of
pasted result by first students who first checked their result, leads to making
some students not see their result in time which will make them to start going
to the HOD for help.
All
these mentioned above and more are problems laced by the existing system.
1.2 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
When we talk about online system of
admission, we should be referring to the use of internet in processing
admission i.e were a student or candidate has to go to internet, log into IMT
WEB site, put in the required data which includes the qualification, data of
birth locality and nationality etc and getting back the necessary information
automatically either at that time or later.
On
the other hand, result checking also involves the same procedure but has to do
with the students putting in their registration and other students
identification data and then get their result either immediately or get it sent
to their e-mail box automatically. It can be understand by having a look at
fig. 1.1 below.
