1. Abstract
In this technical era , where everything is preferred to be online , why not update the
admission process from offline or rather paper based to online forms to be filled from,
wherever the candidate wants to. With the purpose of easing the process, we made forms
to be filled online by candidates, details regarding their admission, such as candidate’s
JoSAA details, educational qualifications, address, and other details. We assign them
institute roll number , enrollment number and issue i-card, library card and hostel, if
applicable. For this to work , we need detailed, expressive forms designed for candidates
to fill the required data, store it in different databases and retrieve information from there
as and when required. Forms are made using html, css and javascript and data is stored
using php and mysql database. Once data is entered and finally submitted by the
applicant, then a print option is provided, where all the details are present which are
filled by the applicant and other details such as registration details. This page is
developed using tpdf. In conclusion, candidate has successfully registered for the opted
course and will be provided with i-card and library card to avail further facilities in the
campus.
2. INTRODUCTION

In the process of admission, information regarding applicants are needed, some of which
is provided by JoSAA and the rest, students need to fill up by themselves. Data such as
address, matriculation and intermediate details, parents’ occupation are to be filled. For
these details , forms are made using html, css ,where labels describe what is to be filled
and input boxes describe where. Once data is filled , it is verified and validated using
javascript, php and then stored in the database with the help of conn function using php
and mysql.
According to choices made by applicant, regarding hostel accommodation and fee
waiver category, they need to pay the amount and then fill their details in the fields
mentioned in the form.
Admin pages are made separately to give the people in authority rights to make further
amendments if required in the submitted form by the applicant. Verifying officer needs to
verify the documents and submitted details. Finally a page will be printed with all the
information including candidate details, educational details, hostel accommodation
details and registration details and will be submitted in the college. This page is made
using tcpdf for versatility.
3. PROBLEM STATEMENT
 .Since Every year about 700 student takes admission in the current system first
we have to collect the data from the students manually and then those data are
entered into the chankya portal later for the academic purpose,like
(registration,exams,attendance) and other miscellaneous puposes like making
Library card,Institute Identity Card,Medical Card this is not only time consuming
also there is much waste of paper.
 This year also a concept of Special rounds was initialized by Jossa.Online
application system will help students to take admission and in other case this help
them to decide about Seat allotment in Special rounds.
 Many times there arises problem of hostel allotment to student after admission
this application will provide hostel and mess facility to students at the time of
admission.
 In the Earlier Manual system students have to come to the Institute for filling
online application now they not need to come to Institute for filling application
they can do this at their home and then report to the institute for final admission.
4.IMPLEMENTATION
We have implemented this online admission system using a dynamic website which uses
different type of technologies as follows :-

 Front End Technologies

 HTML(Hyper Text Markup Language):- We have used HTML for defining the
structure and Layout of the website.
 CSS(Cascading Style Sheets):- We have used CSS to describe how HTML
elements will be Displayed on the website
 Bootstrap:- We have used Bootstrap for better UI/UX design of website and
make the website user and mobile friendly.
 Javascript:-We have used Javascript for numerous puposes like checking that
password Entered By user abid to rules,for Showing pop-up messages to alert
and also used for API implementation for taking user location and user IP
addresss ,For timeout time.
 Jquery:- It is one of the Library of Javascript we have used this for form
validation.

 Back End technologies

 PHP(Hyper Text Preprocessing) :- Used for sending the information to Server

and storing to the database and maintaining session for each user.
 MySql(Microsoft Sql):- Used for Maintaining Different Types of Databases
 TCPDF :- It is one of the Library of PHP which is Used for Printing the
Application Form of user in Pdf Format

 We have also Deployed Advance Artificial Intelligence technology Developed by

google for numerous puposes like
 For checking that image uploaded by the student on the website is of human or not.
 For Changing the English name of student in Hindi and if the Hindi name is not
correct then user can change it using the Hindi Keyboard
5.FACING PROBLEM DURING IMPLEMETATION
we have encountered many problems while Developing this Online Admission
Application

(i)We have to choose best technologies for user interface and user Experience design so
that students who are new to this do not face any problem while filling the application
online.

(ii) Changing the Students English Name into Hindi and verifying that the image
uploaded by the student is of human or not.

(iii) Maintaining and Managing Different Databases for Different Purposes Like for
Hostel allotment we have make two Database like Girls Hostel, Boys Hostel and for
Registration of Student like Course Data base

 CONCLUSION
Online admission is a method to reduce wastage of paper and look for comfortness.
Chunk of data is stored in databases and used accordingly for different purposes such as
making of i-card, library card. Admission, academic and hostel facilities are provided as
per these data. So, it is necessary to gather information and verify, validate and re-check
the data being stored for future references. The journey of college students begin from
admission, making it all the more important to handle the process with care.
It can be used for every year new coming student’s admission process with modification,
if required. The students can fill the form from home or other suitable places and come
to college for physical reporting only.
Many different departments of college administration such mis, hmc, academics needs
different databases to operate on, and here we have all the required data. In this way , it
eases the process of other departments and they don’t need to look for information from
students. Students also don’t need to fill similar forms time and again.
