Chapter One: Introduction   
1.1 Background   
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) systems have taken a vigorous trend
especially in schools, institutions, businesses; health centers such as hospitals as a standard for
solving issues more effectively and efficiently that are done by humans for example issues to do
with loads of paper work and others. ICT systems have successfully been used in schools
especially in universities in the accounting departments in order to track the financial statuses of
Students, amounts paid, balances and other dues from the university.     

In schools and institutions, ICT systems are time saving for example during admission, they can
enable a huge amount of students to register online at the same time without any interferences.
They have enabled to reduce human errors since they always operate as they were programmed
depending on the duty which was assigned to them.   

Several registration systems are used in universities and colleges, some of them support the online
registration features and some do not. Some of these    systems were    purchased by    local or
international software companies each in the relevant university or college.   

Today’s business environment is very    dynamic    and undergoes rapid changes as a    result    of
technological innovation, increased awareness    and demands from customers. Business
organizations, especially the banking industry operates in a complex and competitive environment
characterized by these changing conditions and highly unpredictable economic climate. ICT is at
the center of this global change curve.   

The    faculty    of    Information Technology    comprises of students who are    engaged    in Computer
Science    and Information Technology. The procedure for registration of both new students and
continuing students has been bureaucratic, hectic and time consuming as a result of the manual
method of registering students that was being used. As a result of this, a lot more time has been
consumed by students making queues at the dean of faculty office in order to obtain registration
forms which have to be handed back to the dean which eventually causes a workload to the staff   
in charge of collecting those forms and keeping the records intact.   

With an automated registration system this will enable both the new and continuing students of the
faculty of Information Technology at SHASHAMANE POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE to register
their personal information as required by the College, register the course units they are offering
1
during that particular semester, retakes where necessary, check the semester’s timetable, check for
results and all    this has to be    done    under the condition that a    student has cleared 60%    of that
semester`s dues.   

Our project explains about the Online Student Registration System. This project mainly explains
the various actions related to student details. This project shows some ease in adding, editing and
deleting the student details. It also provides a less time-consuming process for viewing, adding,
editing and deleting the marks of the students. Our project includes: Student Registration, Subject
Allocation, Branch selection, Semester wise selection, Examination marks entry and Displaying
branch and semester wise result.   

Online Student Registration System is software which is helpful for students as well as the school
authorities. In the current system all the activities are done manually. It is very time consuming
and costly. Our Online Student Registration System deals with the various activities related to the
students. There are mainly 3 modules in this software: User module, Student Module and Mark
management Module.   

In the Software we can register as a user and user has of two types, student and administrator.
Administrator has the power to add new user and can edit and delete a user. A student can register
as user and can add edit and delete his profile. The administrator can add edit and delete marks for
the student. All the users can see the marks.   

1.2 Statement of the Problem   

System Analysis is a detailed study of the various operations performed by a system and their
relationships within and outside of the system. Here the key question is- what all problems exist
in the present system? What must be done to solve the problem? Analysis begins when a user or
manager begins a study of the program using existing system. During analysis, data collected on
the various files, decision points and transactions handled by the present system. The commonly
used tools in the system are Data Flow Diagram, interviews, etc. Training, experience and common
sense are required for collection of relevant information needed to develop the system. The success
of the system depends largely on how clearly the problem is defined, thoroughly investigated and
properly carried out through the choice of solution. A good analysis model should provide not only

2
the mechanisms of problem understanding but also the frame work of the solution. Thus, it should
be studied thoroughly by collecting data about the system. Then the proposed system should be
analyzed thoroughly in accordance with the needs.   
System analysis    can be    categorized into four    parts. System planning    and initial    investigation,
Information Gathering, Applying analysis tools for structured analysis, Feasibility study and Cost/
Benefit analysis.   

In the current system we need to keep a number of records related to the student and want to enter
the details of the student and the marks manually. In this system only, the teacher or the school
authority views the mark of the student and they want to enter the details of the student. This is
time consuming and has much cost.   

1.3 Objectives     
1.3.1 General Objective of the System       
The general objective of this project is to develop Web based system that is reliable, secured, and
easily    manageable Online    Student Registration System for SHASHAMANE    POLYTECHNIC
COLLEGE.     

1.3.2 Specific Objectives of the System       

In order to achieve the general objective stated above the team identified the following specific
objectives.     

 To Register student     
 To allow students to fill add and drop     
 To enable withdrawal   
 To enable readmission   
 To select field or subject   
 To enable student to view their result     
 To add new subject or course       
 To authenticate students       
 To notify students   
 To allocate course   
 To display semester wise result

1.4 Methodology     
1.4.1 Data Collection Methods     
To collect relevant information so as to understand the existing system and also to identify the new
system requirements the project team will made excessive effort by interviewing, Observing and
document revising, but the deepest takes brainstorming    (since    it    help to make    the part of the
Solution).         

Interview:    This is one    of data collection method    that enables to gather information from the
organization directly in the form of asking question and getting answers for those questions. So,
we    will    use    this    method to gather information by    asking    student and    employer some basic
questions.   
Observation: This is also another data collecting method. In fact, we    will use this observation
method to gather data.    This method will enable us observing and understanding how the current
student registration system is work.   
1.4.2 System Development Methods   
For this system we    will    use    Object Oriented System Analysis    and Development methodology
(OOSAD) which have two phases:   

Object Oriented Analysis (OOA): During this phase the team will use to analyze the function of
the system, find and identify    the business objects, organize    them and identify    the relationship
between them and finally has modeled the behavior of the objects.     

Object Oriented Design (OOD): During this phase the team will use to refine the analyzed object into
design that reflects the implementation environment, model object interactions and behaviors
that support the analysis scenario and finally update object models.   

1.4.3 System Development Tools   

Software: - for this project the team will use the following development software’s:
 Notepad++  for editing code   
 CSS  for system layout   
 PHP  for backend (server-side coding)   
 HTML  for client-side coding   
 MYSQL  as DBMS   

4
  Apache  as a Web Server   
 Mozilla Firefox, IE, Google Chrome, Opera  as a Web Browser     
 MS Office word  for Documentation   
 MS Office Power Point  for Presentation   

Hardware: - the following are required peripherals for this system:   

 External Hard disk- 500GB   
 DVD-RW   
 Flash Drive 32GB   
 Printer   
 Desktop computer     
 Deployment Server   
 Transmission media (cable)   
1.4.4 System Testing Methodology   
In order to deliver this system as well operated system we will test this project at implementation
phase by using different types of testing methodologies. Those testing methods are   

I. Unit testing: -we are going to test the independent module using this mechanism of
testing.   
Integration testing: - using this type of testing method we are going to test the modules
II. which are independent and dependent to each other.   
III. System    Testing: -using    this method we    will    test the functionality    of all    modules
considering as a single system.   
1.5 Feasibility Analysis       
Whatever we think need not be feasible. It is wise to think about the feasibility of any problem we
undertake. Feasibility    is the study    of impact,    which happens in the organization by    the
development of a    system. The    impact can be    either positive    or negative. When the positives
nominate the negatives, then the system is considerably feasible. Here the feasibility study can be
performed in five    ways such as technical feasibility, Economical Feasibility    and Operational/
Organizational Feasibility.     
5
1.5.1 Operational/ Organizational Feasibility     
Our proposed automated system may take time to be fully operational but consistent support from
the development team and the training of users will surely deliver a system that will solve the
current system problems and take benefit of different prospect. It might not be possible to see fully
operational system within the given limit of time for System development. However, with great
cooperation of the project teams the system can developed and address over all problems of the
current manual/file system in Shashamane Polytechnic College.     

1.5.2 Technical Feasibility     

The new system doesn’t need any ideal technology in order to operate properly. Such systems have
been tried and succeed in many national and international organizations. We can strongly say that
it is technically feasible, since there will not be much difficulty in getting required resources for
the development and maintaining the system as well.     

            We can strongly say that it is technically feasible, 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 system as well as the maintenance of the same is
available in the organization here we are utilizing the resources which are available already.   
Therefore, we can be concluding that the system is technically feasible.   

1.5.3 Economic Feasibility     

          Development of this application is highly economically feasible. The only thing is to be done
is making an environment for the development with an effective supervision. If we are doing so,
we can attain the maximum usability of the corresponding resources. Even after the development,
the organization will not be in condition to invest more in the organization.     

BENEFITS

A. Tangible benefit: is a benefit that can easily be known or visible. Our system will provide
tangible benefits such as increasing the online student registration activities.     
Tangible benefits will fit the following classes:     

 Improve providing service for the Students, instructors.     

 Decrease the activities that cause problem or errors by validating input before inserted to
database.     
 Improvement of management in the Shashamane Polytechnic College registrar.     

6
  Used to promote the services provided by the Shashamane Polytechnic College Registrar
online.                     
B. Intangible benefits: - refers to items that cannot easily be measured in terms of money and
with certainty. It cannot be determined the exact amount of money consumed.     
Intangible benefits are as follow:     

 It minimizes the work load of the instructors, employees of the Shashamane Polytechnic
College Registrar   
 Improvement of employee moral because it is easy to work huge amount of job in short
period of time.     
 Improve    accuracy    in critical operations means it is easy    to load information of many
number of students, instructors and staff without error (accurately)     
 Improve management mechanism between the Shashamane Polytechnic College Registrar
and students, instructors, staffs.     
Intangible    costs    are    consequent from the design    of an automated system that cannot be    easily
considered as cost.       

 Time requires for adapting new system.     

 Requiting or train staffs who operates the new system.     
 Organizing the office with the new organization that may the new system requires.     
Therefore, we can surely say that the system is economically feasible.         

1.5.4 Ethical /Legal Feasibility     

Ethical feasibility is a test to determine if the project is ethical, or even legal. Ethical feasibility
should be tested from both the organizational perspective, as well as the developer’s perspective.
The    organization has a    vested interested to develop applications that show they    are    both
professional and ethical. Ethics can also affect the way developers work, how they feel about the
project, and how they interact with other developers throughout the development process of the
project. And also, the project we will develop considers the copy right and legal that protects us
from using the resource of another person as our own. Therefore, our project keeps all legal and
ethical of the country and the society.   
7
1.6 Scope and Limitation of the Project       
1.6.1 Scope of the Project       
The    Scope    of the    System is to automate    the    working    environment of the    Registrar    Office    of
Shashamane Polytechnic College activities.

 Generating    reports about, passed and failed students, Withdrawals list, Transcripts,
Temporary    Certificates, Registration and graduate, Admission, Readmission, Document
Registration, Statistics, top point list, and so on       
 Handling of exceptional cases when rules change.       
In another way, the scope of the System is limited to Shashamane Polytechnic College.     

1.6.2 Limitation of the project       

The System doesn’t include any other functional part of the Colleges/Institutes. The system is only
limited to Online Student Registration.       

1.7 Significance of project       

The system that we are going to develop will have direct social value by its impact on facilitating
the working activities of Registrar Office.       

 It will provide efficient working environment to the Registrar Office.     

 It will facilitate preparation of timely and reliable reports, and also minimize delays and
error in preparing documents.       
 The system will initiate other part of the Colleges/Institutes to have modern computerized
information system that cope up with the Office of the Registrar New System.       
 The College/Institute will have good working environment that can attract skilled labor
force and to process good teaching and learning.       
 It replaces paper work   
 Solve problem of data redundancy and typical error   
 Easy and safe record management

1.8 Beneficiaries Groups   
1.8.1 Who will benefit from this System?       
Shashamane    Polytechnic    College    /Institute    will    be    the major    beneficiary    of the    System, The
Ministry of Education, Regional Bureau of Education and Zone Education Department will be
benefited from the system indirectly.    Students, teachers, department and other workers those who
have direct or indirect interaction with student registration will be benefited from this system.   

1.9 Project Plan   

1.9.1 Project Time Schedule     
Concerning the project schedule, it will be based on strict timing so it must be delivered within the
time bound given over the table. Our intention is to finalize it hopefully implement it and start
operation in the real environment before the end of this academic year. And while we define the
specific objective, the task may not accomplish during the stated schedule due to many risks. We
will try to resist problems as much as we can or amend the schedule if possible and finish our
project as scheduled. The system will be above 90% feasible to be delivered on time if all the risks
are minimized.

 Chapter Two: System Analysis

2.Introduction   
This chapter    deals with analysing    the proposed    system by    using    different UML    analysis    modelling
techniques such as use case diagrams, the use case descriptions (scenarios), sequence diagrams, activity
diagrams, analysis class diagram, and user interface prototype

After identifying the actors and use cases, the use cases are developed and textual descriptions (scenarios)
are stated. The Sequence diagram id depicted based on the use cases which are developed for the proposed
system. Activities will be represented by the activity diagrams.

2.1 Existing System

2.1.1 Description Existing System   
The current system of the Student Registration system performs different tasks. The most popular tasks
that can be performed in the current system of the Student Registration System are: Students registration,
subject allocation, branch selection, semester    wise    selection, examination mark entry, displaying
semester wise result and generating report. This task utilizes considerable number of employees and also
it is manual. In this case, the students have to go to the Registrar office and check their result and register
manually. Then, the employee checks the Student ID and allows the member to check out the students
results and information the employer then updates the student result    based on the teacher result    that
summited to the office. This takes at least thirty minutes to one hour to get the service. In this system
data manipulation, redundancy, error, data loss and resources extravagating are significant problem.     

2.1.2 Business Rules

A business rule is effectively an operating principle or policy the software must satisfy.    It often pertains
to access control issues,    business calculations, or operating    polices and    a    principle    of the registrar.
Therefore, our new system has the following business rules.   
BR#1: student must register. To be register they must fulfill the criteria of registration
BR#2: The student should fulfill the following requirements if they want to be register for level   
 A student who want to learn in the college.
 Student who take grade 10 ECGE   
 should have valid transcript in grade 10.
BR#3:    The    student should fulfill the following    requirements if they    want to be    register for    degree
program   

12
  a student who want to learn in the college.
 Student must complete all level training
 Student must pass all level COC competency
 If Student have degree in other department they must bring their degree official.
BR#4: A student can have one or many Methods of Payment.
BR#5: Only students who pay can be registered

2.2 New System (Proposed System)

The    Online Student Registration System deals mainly    with hardware    devices and installed software
components on devices. The System performs many tasks. It consists of web-based system used by Super
Users, Administrators and Students of the college.    The system helps to record students’ personal details,
publish time table, preview student result, select subjects for the semester. Therefore, the web-based part
is expected to run on various operating system platforms. The client server architecture of the system
requires to remotely connecting with client and server through the internet connection.   

The system has two nodes such as the Web server and Clients. The nodes can represent specific instances
(workstations) or a class of computers (web server), which is a virtual machine. The applications of the
system will    run on the    web server connected    to the database    server. Internet is the worldwide
interconnection of all smart communication devices that have a valid IP.   

There should be installed browser software to access internet. If the user accesses the system, directly
through the internet connection the user has to install dongle or modem or relevant device and Wi-Fi or
etc.… to connect with the system. If the user accesses the system through the intranet connection, the
server should install the relevant software. Most of intranet accessing modes refer to the website of the
organization which can only be accessed by its employees who have a user name and password.   

So, considering that type of security purposes, it is better to access this Student Registration through the
intranet, but it should be accessed through the internet directly also. When generating reports such as
students’ result and subject’s details there should be installed the crystal report software. And also, to
print the generated reports the user machine should be installed the software relevant to its connected
printer.
13
Our proposed system has several advantages

 User friendly interface

 Fast access to database
 Less error
 Centralized database
 Search facility
 Look and Feel Environment
 Quick transaction

All the manual difficulties in managing the student details in a college have been rectified by
implementing computerization.

2.2.1 Functional Requirements

The functional requirements of the system are concerned about the major activities that the system has to
perform. The functional requirement describes the major functionality of the system which is generalized
as the reasons for the existence of the system from the user point of view. It addresses the specific function
that the proposed system will    perform and is dedicated to describe    the    possible interaction between
Student Registration System (SRS) and the environment. The new system is required to help the Office
of the Registrar in different manner and aspects. The basic functions that the system should carry out are:   
The    system should retrieve    stored data according    to the specific    Query.    The    system should register
students, courses and other related Academic and Training data. The system should generate necessary
information that the Office of the Registrar need. The system should provide more than one ways to
search. Generate the desired reports.
2.2.2 Non-functional Requirements and Constraints   
The    non-functional requirement deals with    the user-visible aspect of    the system    that
is not directly related with the functional requirement. It also deals with the quality of the application
system needed from different evaluation point of view and quantitative constraints like the response time
of the application to give user queries, the user friendly of the application, accuracy and other.   
The non-functional requirement of the proposed system refers to user visible aspect. Some of them are:
besides the functional requirements, our system possesses other nonfunctional requirements that reflect
the quality    of    the system such as accuracy, reliability, performance,    no redundancy, availability,
efficiency, user friendly and security.
14
Accuracy: The level of accuracy in the proposed system will be better due to reduction of error. All
operation can be done correctly and it ensures that whatever information is coming from the data base is
accurate.
Reliability: The reliability of the proposed system will be better due to proper storage of information
when users access the application.
Performance: The system gives service 24 hours in a day with maximum response time.
No redundancy: In the proposed system can be avoided reputation of data anywhere in the database but
there    may    reputation is case    of data backup.    This would assure    economic use    of storage    space    and
consistency of the data stored in the database.
Availability: All data in the system will be available all the time.
Efficiency: The system must ensure allocation and use of services being requested for the patient by
using minimum memory storage, cost, time and human power.
User friendly interface: Users can easily input and retriever patient profile and history.
Security: The system has to be well protected unauthorized access.   
 Encrypted Password.
 Administrator has more rights than the sub user.

 The class diagram is the main building block in our project modelling.   
 It is used both for general conceptual modelling of the systematic of the application and for
detailed modelling translating the models into programming code.   
 The classes in a class diagram represent both the main objects and or interactions in the
application and the objects to be programmed.

2.9 User Interface Prototyping
The Proposed system has several user interfaces to communicate easily with the User. Our team attempt
to illustrate this interface in general as follows: -

♠ The system user interface should be consistent with all other program.
♠ The caption and the test of user interface should be self-descriptive and clear to understand.
♠ The user interface should be easy to understand.
♠ The user interface should be customized.
♠ The user interface should be accompanied with help files that describe the usage of each user
interface.
♠ The user interface should be designed in the way that they can be extended easily to support
localization.

 Chapter Three System Design

3 Introduction
3.1 Purpose and Goals of Design
This is the second phase of our project entitled Online Student Registration System. In this phase we
are    going    to verify    brief    aspect of phase    one, and describe    the    phase    two parts; detail description of
chapter four which focused on Object-Oriented design and system containing class diagram, deployment
diagram, state diagram, and relational persistence modeling diagrams, and chapter five which focuses on
System implementation. In general, in this phase    we    will    describe    detail of our system design and
implementation.

3.1.1. Overview of System Design

After the determination of the requirements, it is the design that follows. The design is all about stating
the design goals of the system and subdividing the system into smaller parts so as to tackle the problem
in a modular approach. This phase includes description of each subsystems and the deployment of the
subsystems. Not only had these, the database related concepts such as relational schema as well as the
normalization of the database are also included. For database purpose, a class diagram is used instead of
ER diagram in the object oriented approach.

3.1.2. Design Goal al

The design goals are derived from the non-functional requirements of the system. They describe the
qualities of the system. These goals consider the following designing considerations.

Reliability: The    system should be    reliable. That means it    performs a    required function under stated
condition.
Error handle: The system should be able to give response (error message) when the    user enter incorrect
input. This recommends the user to enter correct input.   

Extensibility: The system should enable the addition of new functionality without any restriction. This
constraint enables the system to have the acceptance of users, for it does not restrict the future expansion
of the system.   
61
Portability: The system should work in different platforms, for there could be platform shifting in the
future and the work to have the acceptance of different institutes having the different platforms. It is
important to have this constraint attempted.   

Security: The system does not allow non-authorized users using a form based authentication. I.e. Access
limitation is the means of security for the system.   

Usability: The question of usability is considered as one of a determining factor for users’ acceptance of
a given system. Hence the system is easy to use with the user interface provided which have correct
audience with its action.

3.2 Design Class Modeling

Design Class Modeling is design level that introduces changes to analysis class model based on
implementation technologies. It focuses on the solution domain instead of the problem domain. It
shows static nature of how the software is built.

3.4 System Decomposition
3.4.1 Subsystem Decomposition
Subsystems of the design and interrelationship between them: For the ease of understanding, we have
divided the system into sub systems or sub components. These are the administrative subsystem, the user
subsystem or the subsystem involved with the day to day activities of the system, the reporting subsystem
and finally the database subsystem.

 The administrative sub system   

This subsystem enables the administrator to manage user accounts and some sort of data manipulation.
The management includes creation of new accounts, removing the existing accounts, modification of the
information, removal of information and modification of accounts. The management of user account is
the responsibility of the account class. The account class is the one that creates displays and modify the
user account. This class has provided its service to interact with the admin class.
 The user/worker subsystem   
This subsystem enables the users of the system or workers of the bus station to perform different day to
day    tasks. The    tasks include registering    buses and associations, adjusting    turns or schedules, display
information to passengers, associations, and other workers, checking maintenance records for each bus,

64
assigning    tariffs to buses, and approve    membership requests    of associations. All of these    tasks    are
performed by users who will not be given full privilege to manipulate the entire system.   
 The reporting subsystem
Reports are generated when certain situations related with legal issues are raised by certain associations
or bus drivers. They are generated by the workers of the bus station to the manager. While criminal issues
occurred those are above the responsibilities of the bus station workers, they will report them in order for
the transport system manager to take the appropriate measures. Otherwise, reports will not be generated
for all routine tasks that could be undertaken by the workers.
 The database subsystem
Most of the permanent data involved under the bus station will be stored into the database. In addition to
this, different data can be retrieved for manipulation. Basically, there will be two different databases.
These databases will be:
 The original bus station database: this is the database that would store the necessary
information of employees, buses, associations and user account information’s.
 The backup database: this database is concerned with storing the data that are removed from
the original database. This is important since permanent deletion of data is not advised
The general structure is shown as the following diagram:

messages. Collaboration diagrams represent a combination of information taken from class, sequence,
and use case diagrams describing both the static structure and dynamic behaviour of a system.

3.6 Layering Class Model

3.6.1 User Interface Layer: - This layer is the in which users used to access your system. There are two
categories of interface class-user interface (UI) classes that provide people access to external system to
tour system.

3.6.2 Domain Layer: - This Layer implements the concepts relevant to your business domain such as
student focusing on the data aspects of the business objects, plus behaviours specific to individual objects.
3.6.3 Process Layer: - This process layer implements business logic that involves collaborating with
several domain classes or even other process classes.

3.6.4 Persistence    Layer: - This layer encapsulates the capability to store, retrieve, and delete objects
without revealing details of the underlying storage technology.   

3.6.5 System Layer: -    System classes provide    operating    system specific    functionality    for    your
application, isolating your software from the operating system (OS) by wrapping OS specific feature,
increasing the portability of your application.

3.8 Deployment Modeling

UML deployment diagram show physical view of system, taking software into real world by showing
how software gets assigned to hardware and how communicates. The deployment diagram shows how
the software components, processes, and objects are deployed into the physical architecture of the
system. It shows the configuration of the hardware units (e.g. Computers, communication devices, etc.)
and how the software components are distributed across the units.

Online Student Registration System is server client structure architecture, where clients access services
offered by server. The deployment diagram is shown as follows.

3.9 Persistence Model
The    relational    database    is    often    used    as    a    mechanism    to    make    your    objects    persistence    because
relational databases do    not support completely    object oriented    concepts persistence    models    are    also
called data models or entity relationship models are used to communicate the design of database to
both our user and other developers.

3.11 User Interface Prototype Development

User interface design is the specification of the interaction between the system users and a system. The
process involves input mechanism design, output mechanism design, and navigation mechanism.

 Navigation mechanism is part of user interface that takes the user form one part of the system
to the other user system.    That includes menus or links, buttons, icons, dialog boxes etc.
 Input design is about designing a form and its controls for GUI system.
 Output design is about designing reports like detailed, summarized, exceptional, graph, chart,
text document report and extra.
