III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Proposed System.
1. To eliminate wastage of time and energy: e-Notify
app will be able to save lot of paper and time. It directs
both teacher and pupil’s energy and attention to one
thing at a time by placing proper persons at their proper
places at the proper time. Everything will be
instantaneous.
2. To avoid duplication and overlapping: This
application will help to remove the duplicity of notices.
Only one person who is admin can post the notice. No
one else would be able to do so. So student and staff
will be given correct information all the time.
3. To ensure due attention of student to each and every
notice: e-Notify App ensures that everyone has kind

way, students will be well informed about their college
activities.
4. To bring system into college life: It would be dire
need of all colleges as its easy and shortcut method to
inform all the students. In the absence of proper
notification system will make it very difficult to inform
students at right time.
5. Searching a particular Notice: This application
allows you search the notice very easily through title of
notice. If anyone forgets about the notice details he can
search it out very easily
6. Free Service: It gives free service to notify all the
students. There will be no cost of sending notification
to all. Just have the good system implemented in
college and that too free of cost
7. Prevent Crowd in College: As you can see there is
always a crowd at notice board. As notice board is one
and people to see notice are more. With this application
there will be no more crowd. Everyone will be well
informed even at their homes. So they are free to do
there other work.
8. Free E-books: The app provides an access to e-books.
These eBooks would be free to access and would be
much easier for the students. It will be convenient for
the students who cannot buy books in paper from the
bookstore.
9. Free Video Lectures: The video lectures feature
provided in our app will be helpful to the students who
want to learn the lectures from their teachers. These
lectures can accessed anytime and from anywhere. The
students who had missed the lectures can learn the
missed lectures from the video lectures provided.
