Introduction

This document will propose all features and procedures to develop the system. These documents specially containing details about objectives, scope, design model, primary requirements and finally monitoring and reporting mechanisms.

Online Examination System is very useful for Educational Institute to prepare an exam, safe the time that will take to check the paper and prepare mark sheets. It will help the Institute to testing of students and develop their skills. But the disadvantages for this system, it takes a lot of times when you prepare the exam at the first time for usage. And we are needs number of computers with the same number of students.

The effective use of "Online Examination System", any Educational Institute or training centers can be use it to develop their strategy for putting the exams, and for getting better results in less time.

Online Examination is being launched because a need for a destination that is beneficial for both Institutes and students. With this site, institutes can register and host online exams. Students can give exams and view their results. This site is an attempt to remove the existing flaws in the manual system of conducting exams. The project will enable educational institutes to conduct test and have automated checking of answers based on the response by the candidates.



1.1. Background Online Examination System is a system that many educational institutions and all users of the system can benefit from it. Many institutions use various paper materials and pens to process the manual examination. But in this system, it provides the student information, questionnaires, and answers and automatically computes the scores. It conducted through the website to remote candidates. Candidate is given a limited time to answer the questions and after the time expiry the answer paper is disabled automatically and answers is sent to the examiner. The examiner will evaluate answers, either through automated process or manually and the results will be sent to the candidate.

Today many organizations are conducting online examinations worldwide successfully and issue results online. There are advantages and disadvantages in online examinations. The advantage is that it can be conducted for remote candidates and evaluation of answers can be fully automated for multiple choice questions can be evaluated manually or through automated system, depending on the nature of the questions and the requirements. The disadvantage is there is no method to identify whether the exact students take that exam.



1.2. Problem definition Online Examination is very helpful to users. The aim of this project is to provide quick, immediate and easy way to appear the exam. It can provide special advantages to the students/applicants. The online examination system can automatically add the marks allocated in each question to determine the total mark for the questions. A time limit can be set for the questions. Online Examination System allows jumping to specific questions based on the previous answer. The online examination system limits the number of times a student can write a question. Login module helps the user to login to the site. For that he/she must type the username and password correctly. The login provision in this page helps the already registered user to directly access the site and there is a link for registration to a user who is new to this site. Student module is mainly for the students. This helps the students to register for the exam and answer the exam. For registration name, address, phone no, role id, password should be entered and other are filled. This will provide result after the exam according to correct and wrong answer. Administrator module is mainly for the administrator. This will contain the creation of question paper, preview of already created question paper, and the report of the administrator. For creating the question paper he/she must enter Exam ID, No: of questions, total time (in min), Marks per Question, Option type. For showing the preview of already created question paper he/she must enter the correct Exam id.

1.2. Objective• Being an integrated Online Examination system it will reduce paper work .

• To allow faculty to give addition time to student with disabilities.

• The result will be shown immediately to the participating students

1.3. Scope of the projectScope of this project is very broad in terms of other manually taking exams.

Few of them are:-

This can be used in educational intuitions as well as in corporate Can be used anywhere anytime as it is a web based applications(user Location doesn’t

matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test . Design to facilitate Administration and User.



1.4 Methodologies

This Project Follows the Waterfall Model

Waterfall Modal or Linear Sequential Development Model for Software.

a. This model is used only when the requirements are very well known, clear and fix.b. Technology is understood.c. Sample resources with required expertise are available freely.

Chapter Two

Feasibility study

Economic feasibility

Is most frequently used for evaluation of the effectiveness of the system . Most commonly known as cost benefit analysis. This study give the justification for the new system that how much. This is the important input to the management because very often the top management does not like to get confounded by the various technologies. It gives actual comparison of cost and benefit

Implementing this system there will no need of more hard ware and it will also lots of time

Technical feasibility

In technical feasibility there will be no difficulty in getting required resources for the development and maintaining the system as well. All the resources that is needed to development of the software as well as for the maintenance are available

The system offer greater levels of user friendliness combined with the greater processing speed. Therefore cost of maintenance can be reduce in the maintenance point of view. Since it is being coded in JAVA language ( using JSP and SERVLETS). HTMLIs used to create web pages.MS-Access database will be used for storing data. Hardware requirement used as a compatible with all O.S.only authorized person will be able to use the website so it would be secure. The system can also expanded as per the needs and requirement specification.

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.

Operational feasibility

Operational Feasibility is a measure of how people are able to work with system. This type of feasibility demands if the system will work when developed and installed Since website is very user friendly so users will find it comfortable to work on this site.
