1.1 Background of the Study
Okonigene, Ighalo, and Ogbeifun (2008) observed that, the use of computers for information processing facilitates instant access to students’ personal and course information, instant student information updating and monitoring of failed courses. For system support, storing course information such as course codes, course descriptions, credit units, and grade points for the purpose of automatic computation of the GPA are required. The system keeps up-to-date records of the entire student body in the Department and generates the graduating students list. To support procedures like registration, data upload, queries to the system friendly graphical user interfaces were developed for the ease of use.
Amadin, I.F and Ukaoha, K. C.(2017) stated that Student’s Examination result is one of the most important elements in schools. These data must be processed under critical management, while requiring simple operations for processing the examination results. The need for student to have access to their result on time and accurately cannot be overemphasized. Scores from examination taken by student need to be returned to these student to enable them know their performance in the various courses written.
Also, students need to know what courses they failed in order to retake the exams. Staff in charge of student result processing is burdened with a lot of other academic works like lecturing, research, marking of exams and attending to other administrative task. These other duties tend to affect the timely, efficient and accurate processing of results. The effort expended in the process of registration of students and computation of their examination results is awesome. Quite worrisome is the fact that these processes are carried out every academic session, putting the operators in a continuous and ever demanding cycle.
The computation of examination results and registration of students is obviously an object centered activity, the student being the dominant object in this case. Hence, the need to evolve not just a computerized process, but an object-oriented software design and implementation that will effectively and efficiently capture all the important objects associated with the registration and examination result processing within the University and the interactions among the objects.
Bijoy, C., et.al (2016) said that Result Management System is an integrated application to automate the result publication procedure of an educational institution. It ensures that all the processes are carried out in time with no scope of human-induced errors. Efforts have been made to define the requirements exhaustively and accurately.
Computer or device connected to a network (such as Internet) and ready to use or be used by other computers or devices is online. Today, the technology is growing rapidly; everything can be done with the help of internet. For e.g. reservation of the train or flights, online business, online banking etc. so, there should be a system where the students can view their results, perform certain operation like save, print etc.online. Apart from the individual candidate, their parents and relatives who wish to analyse their ward’s performance from anywhere and anytime.
