ABSTRACT
Project allocation is the assignment of available resources to various students. A project can be filled by at most one student, though in some cases a project is suitable for more than one student to work on simultaneously. To give students something of a choice, there should be as wide a range of available projects as possible and in most cases the students number always varies with supervisors available. I was motivated to embark on this research because the project coordinator may have interest in some students either due to academic performance of such a students or personal reason and there by allocate such student to him/herself, the student may not be able to cope when a topic is given by his supervisor due to the research interest, conflict of Interest may occur when the supervisor may not see favorite topic from the list of topics submitted by the students, change of research interest may eventually leads to waste of time, lack of taking responsibilities of the students and supervisor, the problems among student teams undergoing large projects, lack of presenting a good project management guide. The system was achieved by developing a platform for project allocation management information system, build a database structure used to store data of students, create a module used for editing students’project, design a platform that used for adding student, design a platform that capture and manage users, create a platform used to manage projects. This research was realized through the adoption of primary and secondary sources of data collection which includes interview, observation, questionnaire, the internet, journals and through the adoption of Agile software development methodology. The system is implemented by using HTML as front end, PHP as back end and MYSQL as the database.
