Development of a web-based result processing system for higher secondary educational institution in Bangladesh

Abstract

Processing of examination results is one of the most important activities of a school. Generally this processing depends on different parameters in many ways and thus processing becomes a tough task. Some computer applications such as MS Excel and other spread sheet software have made the task easier but these are not suitable for multiple and different grouped users. So, there is a need for a complete computerized system that is accessible within a specific network and has different interfaces based on different roles. A web-based system can easily remove the problems of a conventional manual system regarding the preparation of examination results. In this work, a simple web-based result processing system is developed which provides security and usability. Moreover, the developed client-server system is composed of simple operations and it is highly reliable. In the developed countries IT has long been the primary driving force for evaluation of education whereas the scenario has not been the same in developing nations. At present, like many other sectors, the education sector of Bangladesh is gradually entering into the IT arena. Many educational institutions are now equipped with computers and necessary networking equipments and others are expected to have this facility soon. As a result, the proposed web-based system can facilitate the high schools and colleges in Bangladesh in dealing with examinations. The developed system provides opportunity for teachers to submit student information and their marks while the system computes the data and provides the result in different formats. In addition, the students can view their results through the system. Consequently, the developed scheme will save time and effort and will provide much reliable output than the existing manual procedures. Therefore, the developed system can be a welcome addition to the schools and colleges of our country.
