ABSTRACT
In
this research, we developed a Student Examination Management System (SEMS),
which is a comprehensive software solution developed to revolutionize and
automate the intricate processes associated with conducting examinations and
managing student results within educational institutions. This system serves as
a central platform for organizing and optimizing key tasks, including student
data management, course and subject administration, examination scheduling,
student registration, question paper handling, online examination capabilities,
result computation. The software was developed utilizing the waterfall
methodology. Beginning with thorough requirements analysis and system design,
we proceeded with implementation, testing, and maintenance phases in a
sequential manner. The tool of choice for development was PHP, coupled with the
MYSQL (for database), ensuring a structured and systematic approach. Through
rigorous testing and validation, SEMS was successfully crafted to optimize exam
scheduling, student registration, result processing, and report generation. The
research outcomes affirm the efficacy of SEMS in enhancing the efficiency of
exam-related processes within educational institutions, showcasing its
potential to streamline administrative tasks and provide a seamless experience
for both administrators and students.
