INTRODUCTION
College Management System is software which is helpful for Colleges as well as the
college authorities. In the current system all the activities are done manually. It is very time
consuming and costly. Our College Management System deals with the various activities
related to the Colleges.
There are mainly 2 modules in this software
College Module
Seat management
In the Software we can register as a user and user has of two types, College and Exam
administrator. Administrator has the power to add new user and can edit and delete a record. A
College can register as user and can add edit and delete his profile. The administrator can add
edit and delete seat for the College. All the users can see the seat.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
EXISTING SYSTEM:

System Analysis is a detailed study of the various operations performed by a

system
and their relationships within and outside of the system. Here the key question
is- what all
problems exist in the present system? What must be done to solve the problem?
Analysis
begins when a user or manager begins a study of the program using existing
system.
During analysis, data collected on the various files, decision points and
transactions
handled by the present system. The commonly used tools in the system are
Data Flow
Diagram, interviews, etc. Training, experience and common sense are required
for collection
of relevant information needed to develop the system. The success of the
system depends
largely on how clearly the problem is defined, thoroughly investigated and
properly carried
out through the choice of solution. A good analysis model should provide not
only the
mechanisms of problem understanding but also the frame work of the solution.
Thus it
should be studied thoroughly by collecting data about the system. Then the
proposed system
should be analyzed thoroughly in accordance with the needs.
System analysis can be categorized into four parts.
System planning and initial investigation
Information Gathering
Applying analysis tools for structured analysis
Feasibility study

 Cost/ Benefit analysis.

In the current system we need to keep a number of records related to the

College and
want to enter the details of the College and the seat manually. In this system
only the
teacher or the college authority views the mark of the College and they want to
enter the
details of the College. This is time consuming and has much cost.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
In our proposed system we have the provision for adding the details of the
Colleges by themselves. So the overhead of the college authorities and the
teachers is become
less. Another advantage of the system is that it is very easy to edit the details of
the College
and delete a College when it found unnecessary. The seat of the College are
added in the
database and so Colleges can also view the seat whenever they want.
Our proposed system has several advantages
User friendly interface
Fast access to database
Less error
More Storage Capacity
Search facility
Look and Feel Environment
Quick transaction
All the manual difficulties in managing the College details in a college or college
have been rectified by implementing computerization.

FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
Whatever we think need not be feasible .It is wise to think about the feasibility
of any
problem we undertake. Feasibility is the study of impact, which happens in the
organization
by the development of a system. The impact can be either positive or negative.
When the
positives nominate the negatives, then the system is considered feasible. Here
the feasibility
study can be performed in two ways such as technical feasibility and Economical
Feasibility.
Technical Feasibility:
We can strongly says that it is technically feasible, since there will not be much
difficulty in
getting required resources for the development and maintaining the system as
well. All the
resources needed for the development of the software as well as the
maintenance of the

same is available in the organization here we are utilizing the resources which
are available
already.
Economical Feasibility
Development of this application is highly economically feasible .The organization
needed
not spend much money for the development of t he system already available.
The only thing
is to be done is making an environment for the development with an effective
supervision. I f
we are doing so , we can attain the maximum usability of the corresponding
resources .Even
after the development , the organization will not be in condition to invest more
in t he
organization .There fore , the system is economically feasible.

SYSTEM DESIGN
INPUT DESIGN

Input design is the process of converting user-oriented input to a computer

based
format. Input design is a part of overall system design, which requires very
careful attention
.Often the collection of input data is the most expensive part of the system. The
main
objectives of the input design are

1. Produce cost effective method of input

2. Achieve highest possible level of accuracy
3. Ensure that the input is acceptable to and understood by the staff.
Input Data
The goal of designing input data is to make entry easy, logical and free from
errors as
possible. The entering data entry operators need to know the allocated space
for each field;
field sequence and which must match with that in the source document. The
format in which
the data fields are entered should be given in the input form .Here data entry is
online; it
makes use of processor that accepts commands and data from the operator
through a key
board. The input required is analyzed by the processor. It is then accepted or
rejected. Input
stages include the following processes
Data Recording
Data Transcription
Data Conversion
Data Verification
Data Control
Data Transmission
Data Correction
9

One of the aims of the system analyst must be to select data capture method
and
devices, which reduce the number of stages so as to reduce both the changes of
errors and
the cost .Input types, can be characterized as.
External
Internal
Operational
Computerized
Interactive
Input files can exist in document form before being input to the computer. Input
design is rather complex since it involves procedures for capturing data as well
as inputting it
to the computer.

OUTPUT DESIGN

Outputs from computer systems are required primarily to communicate the

results of
processing to users. They are also used to provide a permanent copy of these
result for latter
consultation .Computer output is the most important and direct source of
information to the
users. Designing computer output should proceed in an organized well through
out the

manner. The right output must be available for the people who find the system
easy o use.
The outputs have been defined during the logical design stage. If not, they
should defined at
the beginning of the output designing terms of types of output connect, format,
response etc,
Various types of outputs are
External outputs
Internal outputs
Operational outputs
10

Interactive outputs
Turn around outputs
All screens are informative and interactive in such a way that the user can full
fill his
requirements through asking queries.

DATABASE DESIGN
The general theme behind a database is to handle information as an integrated
whole.
A database is a collection of interrelated data stored with minimum redundancy
to serve
many users quickly and effectively. After designing input and output, the analyst
must
concentrate on database design or how data should be organized around user
requirements. The general objective is to make information access, easy quick,
inexpensive and flexible for other users. During database design the following
objectives
are concerned: Controlled Redundancy
Data independence
Accurate and integrating
More information at low cost
Recovery from failure
Privacy and security
Performance
Ease of learning and use
11

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation is the stage in the project where the theoretical design is turned
into
a working system. The implementation phase constructs, installs and operates
the new
system. The most crucial stage in achieving a new successful system is that it
will work
efficiently and effectively.
There are several activities involved while implementing a new project. They are
End user training

 End user Education

Training on the application software
System Design
Parallel Run and To New System
Post implementation Review
End user Training:
The successful implementation of the new system will purely upon the
involvement of the
officers working in that department. The officers will be imparted the necessary
training on
the new technology
End User Education:
The education of the end user start after the implementation and testing is over.
When the system is found to be more difficult to under stand and complex, more
effort is put
to educate the end used to make them aware of the system, giving them
lectures about the
new system and providing them necessary documents and materials about how
the system
can do this.
12

Training of application software:

After providing the necessary basic training on the computer awareness, the
users will
have to be trained upon the new system such as the screen flows and screen
design type of
help on the screen, type of errors while entering the data, the corresponding
validation check
at each entry and the way to correct the data entered. It should then cover
information
needed by the specific user or group to use the system.
Post Implementation View:
The department is planning a method to know the states of t he past
implementation
process. For that regular meeting will be arranged by the concerned officers
about the
implementation problem and success

SOFTWARE TESTING
Is the menu bar displayed in the appropriate contested some system related
features
included either in menus or tools? Do pull Down menu operation and Tool-bars
work
properly? Are all menu function and pull down sub function properly listed ?; Is it
possible to
invoke each menu function using a logical assumptions that if all parts of the
system are

correct, the goal will be successfully achieved .? In adequate testing or nontesting will leads
to errors that may appear few months later.
This create two problem
1. Time delay between the cause and appearance of the problem.
2. The effect of the system errors on files and records within the system
The purpose of the system testing is to consider all the likely variations to which
it will be
suggested and push the systems to limits.
The testing process focuses on the logical intervals of the software ensuring that
all
statements have been tested and on functional interval is conducting tests to
uncover errors
13

and ensure that defined input will produce actual results that agree with the
required results.
Program level testing, modules level testing integrated and carried out.
There are two major type of testing they are
1) White Box Testing.
2) Black Box Testing.

White Box Testing

White box some times called Glass box testing is a test case design uses the
control
structure of the procedural design to drive test case.
Using white box testing methods, the following tests where made on the system
a) All independent paths within a module have been exercised once. In our
system, ensuring
that case was selected and executed checked all case structures. The bugs that
were
prevailing in some part of the code where fixed
b) All logical decisions were checked for the truth and falsity of the values.

Black box Testing

Black box testing focuses on the functional requirements of the software. This is
black box
testing enables the software engineering to derive a set of input conditions that
will fully
exercise all functional requirements for a program. Black box testing is not an
alternative to
white box testing rather it is complementary approach that is likely to uncover a
different
class of errors that white box methods like..
1) Interface errors
2) Performance in data structure
3) Performance errors
4) Initializing and termination errors
14

CONCLUSION

Our project is only a humble venture to satisfy the needs in an Institution.

Several
user friendly coding have also adopted. This package shall prove to be a
powerful package
in satisfying all the requirements of the organization.
The objective of software planning is to provide a frame work that enables the
manger to make reasonable estimates made within a limited time frame at the
beginning
of the software project and should be updated regularly as the project
progresses. Last
but not least it is no the work that played the ways to success but ALMIGHTY
