Abstract: The college consists of multiple departments, each responsible for managing
student information and the college database. These departments are interconnected,
leading to issues of data repetition and lack of proper interlinking. To overcome these
challenges, we introduce the College ERP System, a centralized and automated solution.
This system features a user-friendly interface and an advanced data management
mechanism, making it highly valuable for efficient college operations.

2. Literature Survey
A literature survey of college ERP systems reveals several key findings and trends in this
area.
1. Integration and Automation: College ERP systems aim to integrate various departments
and automate their processes. These systems streamline administrative tasks such as student
admissions, course registration, fee payment, and academic record management. Integration
and automation lead to improved efficiency, reduced manual errors, and enhanced data
accuracy.
2. Centralized Database: College ERP systems typically employ a centralized database to
store and manage student information, faculty details, course catalogs, and other relevant
data. This centralization facilitates easy access to information, eliminates data redundancy,
and enables real-time updates across different departments.
3. Modules and Functionality: College ERP systems offer a range of modules and
functionalities tailored to meet the specific needs of educational institutions. These may
include student management, attendance tracking, examination management, library
management, hostel management, finance and accounting, and human resources
management. The modular approach allows colleges to select and implement the required
modules according to their unique requirements.
4. User-Friendly Interface: One crucial aspect of a college ERP system is its user-friendly
interface. These systems are designed to be intuitive and easy to navigate, ensuring that both
administrative staff and end-users (students, faculty, parents) can access and interact with the
system without extensive training or technical expertise.
5. Scalability and Customizability: College ERP systems should be scalable and
customizable to accommodate the evolving needs of educational institutions. As colleges
grow in size or introduce new programs, the ERP system should be capable of handling
increased data volumes and adapting to changing requirements.
6. Security and Data Privacy: Given the sensitive nature of student and faculty data,
security and data privacy are of utmost importance. College ERP systems employ robust
security measures such as user authentication, role-based access controls, encryption, and
data backup to safeguard against unauthorized access, data breaches, and loss of information.
7. Integration with External Systems: College ERP systems often need to integrate with
external systems such as learning management systems (LMS), examination bodies, financial
institutions, and government databases. Seamless integration with these systems enhances
data exchange, improves efficiency, and facilitates regulatory compliance.
College ERP system is provide great user friendly interfaces for college data. It is an online
Web-Based system. The goal of this system's adoption and execution is to replace manual
college systems with an web- based system. This ERP system also manages data that has
been stored for a long time in an accurate and efficient manner. College ERP systems provide
a single point of access to all administrative systems at colleges.
Previously, all departments operated independently and separately. Such methods make it
impossible for anyone to obtain such info collectively.
A system analysis of such a system reveals that all booking was done manually on registers,
which was an extremely difficult job. The old system also made it impossible to generate
reports for all records. College work was also manually kept and stored. All of this
information is kept in the college's register or file system.
3. System Design
A. Detailed Problem Statement

class materials, calendars, announcements, and personal profiles.
B. System Architecture
In software engineering and systems engineering, a System Diagram (SD) is a visual
representation that depicts the external actors interacting with a system. It provides a high-
level overview of the system, including its inputs and outputs with external elements. System
diagrams are commonly used in systems design to highlight the crucial external aspects that
interact with the system being analyzed. These diagrams typically show the system at the
center, without delving into its internal structure, while encompassing all other relevant
interacting systems, environment, and activities. The purpose of a system diagram is to
emphasize the events and factors external to the system that need to be considered when
formulating a comprehensive set of system requirements and constraints.

3. ERP Architecture
In the architecture of the e-college system, there are three major categories: the administrator,
the staff, and the student. Each category has specific tasks and functionalities within the
system. The architecture is designed to be self-explanatory and consists of various modules as
depicted in the diagram.
The administrator is responsible for tasks such as user management, staff management,
student management, and staff attendance. They handle functions like news management,
leave management, time schedule management, and exam management. The staff members
have their own set of responsibilities, which include entering student attendance, managing
student examinations, handling timetables, managing leave applications, and posting news on
the e-notice board. The student's role is relatively limited, but they have access to their entire
profile, attendance records, the ability to provide comments to their respective faculties, view
notices, and access academic timetables. The architecture of the e-college system is divided
into three layers: the presentation layer, the application logic layer, and the data layer.The
presentation layer enables communication between the system and external entities such as
510
International Journal of Aquatic Science
ISSN: 2008-8019
Vol 14, Issue 01, 2023
humans or other computers. It can be implemented as a graphical user interface (GUI) and
serves as the client interface of the information system. The application logic layer performs
data processing, including business logic and computation, behind the results presented to the
users. It is responsible for information transmission and is often referred to as services, logic
in business, business regulations, or the server. The data layer stores and manages the data
used by the system. It serves as the repository for student information, staff details,
attendance records, exam data, and other relevant data required by the e-college system.In
summary, the architecture of the e-college system comprises three categories (admin, staff,
and student) with their respective tasks and functionalities. The system is organized into three
layers: presentation layer, application logic layer, and data layer, each serving a specific
purpose in the overall functioning of the system. The database layer is built with a database
management system, in this case MySQL.
3. Conclusion
The e-college system architecture consists of three main categories: the administrator, staff,
and students. Each category has specific roles and functionalities within the system. The
architecture is designed to be intuitive and is composed of different modules as illustrated in
the diagram. The administrator is responsible for managing user accounts, staff
members,students, and staff attendance. They handle tasks such as news management, leave
management, time schedule management, and exam management. Staff members have their
own set of responsibilities, including recording student attendance, managing examinations,
handling timetables, processing leave applications, and sharing news on the e-notice board.
Students have limited access but can view their profiles, attendance records, provide feedback
to their respective faculties, access notices, and check academic timetables.
The e-college system architecture is structured into three layers: the presentation layer,
application logic layer, and data layer. The presentation layer facilitates communication
between the system and external entities such as users or other systems. It often takes the
form of a graphical user interface (GUI) and serves as the client interface for the information
system. The application logic layer performs data processing, including business logic and
computations, to generate the desired outcomes presented to the users. It encompasses
services, business rules, and the server responsible for information transmission. The data
layer stores and manages the data utilized by the system. It serves as the repository for
511

student information, staff details, attendance records, exam data, and other relevant data
necessary for the e-college system. In conclusion, the e-college system architecture comprises
three categories (administrator, staff, and students) with their respective roles and
functionalities. The architecture includes three layers: presentation layer, application logic
layer, and data layer, each serving a specific purpose in supporting the system's overall
functionality.
