CHAPTER
ONE
INTRODUCTION:
This chapter gives an overview about the aim, objectives,
background and operation environment of the system.
1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Student Registration Number system is an application which
are generally small or medium in size. Itis used by school management tocreate
and manage the student registration number using a computerized system where
he/she can create registration number for the Student, create a report of all
the registration number of the student to each of their department and facultites,Storing
the registration details for reference purpose. With this computerized system
there will be no loss of record or member record whichgenerally happens when a
non computerized system is used.If user’s position is admin, the user is able
to create and maintain all the registration number details.All these modules
are able to help the Registrar to manage the registration information with more
convenience and in a more efficient way as compared to Registration number
systems which are not computerized.

it comes to registering and generating the registration number of the student, letting
them arrange it promptly and accordingly.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This research work will concentrate on
Registration, Report, School managment, and LogOut menu which include handling
of some queries like; updating record, deleting record and viewing the student
information via S/N, Name of Student, Reg Number and department as the case may
be. It is a case study of MarcusICT Academy.
1.8 ASSUMPTION OF THE STUDY
During the process of data collection, information
relating to Student registration number System was obtained from IBOM E - LIBRARY. The information was collected from the admin staff during the course of
my industrial attachment. Hence, it is assumed that all the data collected are
correct and contains no false information.
