 Abstract
The project “Online Examination System” is a web-based application. I have built

this project to avoid cut, copy, pasting. If this system has a build-in professional level then

it will automate our existing examination system into a digitized exam system. In this

system it will require less labor force for executing the system and it will be more accurate

and less time consuming and at the same time I can conduct more person exam at the same

time and it will publish results in a very short time. Below you can find the benefits of the

Fair Online Examination System. If this system has been implemented then the

examination will not be limited to for walls of a classroom, but students can part in exams

from any place. Online Examination System, as described above, can lead to error free,

secure, reliable and fast management systems. It can assist the user to concentrate on their

other activities rather than concentrating on the record keeping. Thus it will help

organizations in better utilization of resources. The organization can maintain

computerized records without redundant entries. That means that one need not be

distracted by information that is not relevant, while being able to reach the information.

This application is developed by Xammp server and with MySQL database and coding for

Visual Studio Code using various programming Language such as HTML, CSS,PHP,

JavaScript and jQuery and also use some tools.

1. INTRODUCTION

Being online refers to a user, computer, or another device connecting to a network, the Internet,
or another computer that allows communication.

An examination, often referred to as a test, is a formal assessment or evaluation of an individual's

knowledge, skills, or abilities in a particular subject, field, or area of study. Examinations are
commonly used in educational settings, professional certifications, and various assessment
contexts. The primary purpose of an examination is to measure the extent of a candidate's
understanding, comprehension, and application of the topics or subjects being assessed.

Examinations can take various forms, including written tests, practical assessments, oral
examinations, and performance evaluations. They are designed to gauge a test-taker's
competence, mastery of specific concepts, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking skills
within a predefined set of parameters.

In educational institutions, examinations serve as a method for teachers or instructors to evaluate

students' learning and understanding of the curriculum, providing feedback on their progress and
knowledge retention. Furthermore, examinations are often used as a basis for academic
progression, grading, and qualification for further educational endeavors or professional
opportunities.

A system is a group of interacting or interrelated components that form a complex and unified
whole. It can refer to physical or abstract components, such as computer systems or social
systems. A computer system is a combination of hardware, software, and data that work together
to perform various tasks and operations. It includes components such as the central processing
unit (CPU), memory, storage devices, input/output devices, and other peripherals. The software
includes the operating system, applications, and utilities that enable the computer to perform
specific functions.

he terms "online examination" refers to the process of conducting assessments, tests, or

examinations using digital or internet-based platforms instead of traditional pen-and-paper

the key components and functionalities that define the existing online examination system.

Most institutions, whether educational or not, need an examination system to rigorously test and
evaluate their student's and trainee's outcomes. The existing system at most places is manual but
some places have an online system. A manual system includes manual entry of the details of
persons for their registration. It is sometime difficult for students to reach the exam center when
they live far. A manual system always requires preparing registration forms, question papers and
to print a lot of papers manually.

Calculating how many students are registered and verifying details of all these students manually
is very difficult. This manual activity takes quite a lot of time and money, and it requires
manpower as well. Another factor that should be taken into account, is the possibility of error,
which needs verification and checking of data. In each examination, we have destroyed many
trees. After the examination, the instructor reviews the results.

Without online examination, it would be very difficult to do these tasks. A limitation of manual
systems is that they are not all personalized and cannot be used for quick reference. The places
which are using the online system face the problem of handling it. To fulfill the needs of the
student and the instructor, there is an administrator required, which is an additional overhead.
