ABSTRACT
Computers are known for their wide range of uses especially
in scientific and mathematical fields. However little or no thought has been
given to designing a complete and thorough intelligence entrance examination on
a computer system in our immediate environment. This entrance examination
system is designed to assist university administration examination in attaining
a standardized sample, and as such the psychological implication of such a
design is very important.
The design of the system is quite simple and easily
understood. Its flexibility makes it amenable for future changes and amendment
to either incorporate other aspects of intelligence or to be designed for any
other school age or class.
The question of the online entrance examination system are
programmed and visually displayed on the system‘s screen in an interactive
form. The student answers the question on the computer system, immediately the
question is marked and notified. The result of the examination is also
displayed at the end of the examination which goes a long way to lessen the
fears of students that they were marked down in the examination. Since the
entrance examination is examined by the computer, time cost of manual
examination is saved. Based on the virtues of internet amendment which have
been made to the examination system concept by constructing a website with
online entrance examination, online question setting and answer and online
management by the administrator.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
An entrance examination is an examination that many
educational institutions use to select students for admission. These exams may
be administered at any level of education, from primary to higher education,
although they are more common at higher levels. Online entrance examination
systems are very convenient and fast. Online entrance examination system has
three purposes.
1.
To allow entrance examination takers
at different places to take the examination at the same time through the online
entrance examination website.
2.
Through careful planning and proper
coding, enable entrance examination, result checking and admission status on
the websites.
3.
To integrate database with the
program allowing administrator easily addition of question and creation of
entrance examination.
This document will propose all features and procedures to
develop the system. This document specially containing details about
objectives, scope limitation, process model, primary requirements, team
development, possible project risks, project schedule, and finally monitoring
and reporting mechanisms. Online entrance 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 entrance
examinationing 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 entrance 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.
However the formulation of question for entrance examination
is often treated with consciousness. With the developing of computer
application technology, more and more computer application software is coming
up. This application software‘s associated to every part of people‘s daily
life, and so does the examinations. Just like other application system,
examination systems develop very fast, from simple stand-alone system to C/S
based system, and now some WEB based system. Although there are a lot of examination
systems, but there also have blanks in some special fields. Examination
Evaluation System integrated into the Multimedia Emulation Training System of
certain type equipment is designed and will be introduced. This system can be
used to help people familiar with the equipment usage quickly which can save
money and time. Now the following will analysis and contrast the existing
examination systems, and shoveling out the improvement of our examination
system. Then we will introduce some characteristics of our system in chapter 3.
And in chapter 4 we will introduce the key technology that applied in our
system. At last we make a summary on our system and make a brief prospect on
the future of the examination system.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Caritas University is a catholic private institution
established by Very Rev. FATHER EMMANUEL EDEH. This institution was established
in the year 2005 and located in Amorji-Nike Enugu state.
Caritas University have two venue for their examinations,
Charity Square and Auditorium. Auditorium is under roof amendment. Caritas
University with over four thousand students has four faculties presently and
they include natural science, engineering, environmental and social science.
Caritas University uses the manual method of paper and pen for entrance
examinations.
Automation of the entrance exams involves the experts
reasoning process to solve the problems involve in the manual entrance exams by
using certain program validation in the program properties to check for some
criteria. Automation of entrance examination involves a set of program that
manipulate encoded knowledge to solve problems in a specialized domain that
normally requires human expert.[1] Edward A. Feigenbaum was one of the people
in software based pc consultancy‘s research who decided in the mid 1960‘s the
reason why pc consultancy should be produced, the reason was that he thought on
how important it is to know how much a computer program can know and the best
way to find out would be to try constructing an artificial expert.
In the process of looking for an appropriate field of
expertise Feigenbaum encountered Joshua Lederberg, the noble laureate
biochemist, who suggested that software for entrance examination in various
fields is to be produced together they began work on DENDRAL, the first
software Based Examination system in 1965 at Stamford university.
‗‘when you think you have you have created a program
structure capable of manipulating expert knowledge, you have to get some
knowledge into the system‖.
{2} {Joshua
Lederberg}
The characteristics of this
expert system include the ability to encode knowledge in a program. It also has
the capability to draw it`s reasoning from meta-knowledge (inference) which is
very important feature of expert system. It has a high performance of helping
to solve problem of marking answers without favoritism.
1.2 CARITAS
UNIVERSITY IS MADE UP OF FOUR (4) FACULTIES
NAMELY:
Engineering with
the following department: Computer, Mechanical, Chemical and Electronics
Engineering.
Environmental with
the following departments: Architecture, urban& regional planning
and estate management.
Management and social science with
the following department accountancy, economics, business administration,
public administration, political science, industrial relation and personal
management mass communication marketing banking and finance.
Natural Science with the following
department biochemistry computer science &information industrial chemistry
mathematics & statistics and microbiology &biotechnology.
In universities like caritas they have not been able to
implement an online entrance examination system which can allow student login
and write their exams from any location around the globe once they have
purchase their entrance examination card., though they have been several
anticipated work but no reliable software to back it up .i have analyzed the
situation and discover that though much effort is required to develop and
maintain this online entrance examination system. I hope all necessary tools
within my reach would be reliable enough to make this software development.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
Corporate between the data stored in the
server of the Institution and our on line entrance examination system. To deal
with On-line System in an easy way and an efficient mannered. (Connection
process)
Create strong and secrete data base that allow
for any connection in a secret way, to prevent any outside or inside attacks or
question leakage.
Specify a privilege to administrators to be
able to change their question at will before the online entrance examination.
Prevention of exam malpractices by applying
strict timing possibility for each question and marking of questions
immediately, The student fear of been marked down is eradicated and sorting
practice is reduced.
1.4 JUSTIFICATION
FOR THE SYSTEM
Due to the inconsistency which have persisted in entrance
examination system through the university administration system and neighboring
institutions
The
justification for this work is as follows:
To do away with manual method of paper and pen
for entrance examination which have posed serious threat to the standard of
student ability during exams.
The manual method could not handle the problem
of sorting,and exam malpractice during exams as result an efficient method has
to be put in place to eradicate the possibility of occurrence. An ―on-line
entrance examination system‖.
To reduce the fears of student thinking they
where mark down during the entrance exams.
To save cost of constant purchase of answer
booklets and also save time and human labor of strolling round the exams to
checking for student irregular act in the exam hall, malpractices etc.
Entrance examination student can easily write
their exam anywhere around the globe once they purchase the school scratch card
for the entrance examination.
1.5
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Design and implementation of an online entrance examination
system. This system allows candidates to register and take an examination in
the system. The teachers of this system are allowed to login for contributing
questions and viewing profile of candidates. Administrators will be able to
access the system to sign up to a new entrance examination, manage questions,
accounts and view profile of the candidates.
I will borrow a host for implementation our system. Our
group will keep the existing entrance examination catalog database by using
Microsoft access to access database.
At the first entrance
examination, guest must register an account to become a candidate by fill all
required information such as name, birthday…. Once the registration process is
completed for a guest, the registration system sends information to the billing
system so the guest can be logged in the system.
After that, the system will allow candidate to login and
select a department for examining.
Every
time, the candidates will be able to view their profile.
The teacher must be able to access the online system to
contribute questions. They also can view the profile of candidates.
The administrator manages operation of the system such as
managing accounts and questions, viewing profile of candidates.
FEATURES
Type of Questions-multiple choice, true/false,
fill in the blanks and essay.
Exams can be timed or untimed set the date and
time when the specific entrance examination has to be available. Can include
pictures, graphics and flash (.swf) files in the questions of the online
examinations.
The Student and Faculty details are stored in
the database.
The Online entrance examination system has a
password based authentication system for students as well as System
Administrator.
Trends Graphs Included for analysis-system is
capable of generating statistical data for examiner.
1.6
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This Supplementary Specification applies to the Online
entrance Examination, which will be developed by me under close supervision of
Mrs. Chizoba Emeze using all the necessary material within my reach to ensure a
successful project result.
This specification defines the non-functional requirements
of the system; such as reliability, usability, performance, and supportability,
as well as functional requirements that are common across a number of use
cases. (The functional requirements are defined in the Use Case
Specifications.)
Functionality:
Multiple users must be able to perform their work
concurrently. If student is running out of time, it should be notified.
Security:
Protect student from
cheating.
1.7 SIGNIFICANCE
OF STUDY
In the modern world with all the complexities involve in
managing a university management requires well structured and scientifically
derivable information as a basis for online entrance examination for student.
The survival and continuous growth relies on the management
of the automated system. In some places like Europe they make use of the online
for entrance examination for student this method has proven to be very
efficient and met so many standardization eliminating the manual method of pen
and paper.
The study will contribute positively to show student their
answer and admission status after the exams if they have met the necessary
school perquisite.
In this era of dwindling resources the management of public
and private institution, will need an effective system (online entrance
examination system).with online entrance examination system human labor is
saved, time and cost is maximized effectively.
