Problem Statement The communication gap between college management and

students is creating barriers in automation of

administration activities.

The present institute website is not able to cater to the

evolving needs.

Root cause of the above mentioned problems is the lack of

integration of resources and their reach ability.

Lack of a common platform for faculty and administration

to share important academic content.

Internal announcements like declaration of results are

done globally.

The student representatives are overloaded with jobs of

informing the students .

Proposed Solution

A university portal which caters to the above

mentioned problems is the solution

Goals of this project Bridging communication gap between students

faculty and administration.

Automating the institute registration procedure.

Attending student grievances.

Facilitating public requests.

Every club will be given a profile of their own where they can

share their information.

Database Design

Some important tables User_all Utype_all Subject_all Stu_type_all Stu_subject_rec_all Stu_all Stu_btech_all Stu_schol_all Hod_all Faculty_all Fee_all Dept_all Course_all Admin_all

Triggers and Functions Trigger after logging in social networking module Triggers on history tables Trigger on selected_subjects to insert validated data into

stu_sub_rec_all Trigger after receiving lists from the bank to set/reset

registration flag

Elective Selection Calculating Total Fees

Client Design Once the student clicks on the link, they will be

redirected to a page where their details are shown.

The student has to select the semester in which the courses he wants to register for are offered.

A list of courses, both core and electives are populated.

The student has to choose the courses he wants to register and give preference of his electives.

And after registering, he gets a list of registered subjects whose print out is to be taken by the student.

Once the student has registered, a registration flag is set in the database.

At the end of registration days, a list of bank account numbers of students whose registration flag is set is generated.

This fee amount for each student is calculated depending on the number of electives and courses he has registered.

Once the bank has processed the transactions, it sends back a list of successfully processed accounts

This is matched with the previous list from database and registration flag is set again.

For those failed transactions due to various reasons, students with

scholarships/bank loans they are given intimation about it in their

profile or by email and they have to pay their fees with DD/Challan.

The student has to get the printed list of registered subjects and

get it approved by the assigned faculty member as according to the

norms the student should be present in person on the days of

registration.

Back End Design Roll no is sent through POST method and the data is extracted from

user_all table using the roll number Once the semester number is selected, subjects are retrieved from

subjects_all table. After the selection of the subjects and submission, the subjects are

sent to selected_subjects table in database which is a temporary table. After the validity of the subjects selected is checked for number of

credits , and electives are allotted these subjects are stored into stu_sub_rec_all table.

Final report of the subjects registered is generated by retrieving subjects from stu_sub_rec_all.

The total fee is calculated for each student and a list is generated to be given to the bank.

Conclusions An existing system is taken and automated to the proposed

system Students can register online itself The faculty and administration are freed from the burden of

registration work Communication can be done through the portal itself

benefitting many people An official platform is established to bridge the

communication gap

Possible Upgrades Internet banking can be introduced instead of

collecting bank account numbers and processing them.

PHP plug-ins like online test module etc can be added

to the social networking module to broaden the usage

of the platform.

Registration module can be completely automated.
