 ABSTRACT

The purpose of Internal Marks Management System is to automate the existing manual
system by the help of computerized equipments fulfilling their requirements, so that their
valuable data/ information can be stored for a longer period with easy accessing and
manipulation of the same. The required software and hardware are easily available and easy
to work with. Internal Marks Management System can lead to error free, secure, reliable
and fast management system. It can assist the user to concentrate on their other activities
rather to concentrate on the record keeping. Thus it will help organization in better
utilization of resources. The organization can maintain computerized records without
redundant entries. That means that one need not be distracted by information that is not
relevant, while being able to reach the information. The aim is to automate its existing
manual system by the help of software, fulfilling the student marks, so that their valuable
information can be stored for a longer period with easy accessing and manipulation of the
same. Basically the project provides easy way of entering, correcting, automatic
calculating, maintaining and displaying the student mark records.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction

The “Internal Marks Management System” has been developed to override the
problems prevailing in the practicing manual system. This system is supported in some
cases reduce the hardships faced by the existing system. Moreover this system is designed
for the particular need to carry out the necessary operations effectively.

The system is designed for the Internal Marks to keep record and calculate the student
marks along with other assessment. The software designed is beneficial to both faculty to
easily enter student marks and students to view their marks and gives the idea for students
to score maximum marks to maintain their internal average. It also helps to register the
details of students and their marks details.

The application is reduced as much as possible to avoid errors while entering the data. It
also provides error message while entering invalid data. No formal knowledge is needed
for the user to user this system. Thus by this all it proves it is user-friendly. Internal Marks
Management System, as described above, can lead to error free, secure, reliable and fast
management system. It can assist the user to concentrate on their other activities rather to
concentrate on the record keeping. Thus it will help organization in better utilization of
resources.

The application provides the faculty to enter the marks of the student with a simple and
good user-interface. The total and average marks are calculated automatically. The security
of this is such that only authenticated and admin approved faculty can enter the marks and
avoids false faculty cannot access the database of Internal Marks Management System. It
also provides the students to view their marks only by entering their USN.

OBJECTIVE

2.1 OBJECTIVE
The main objective of the project on Internal Marks Management System is to manage the
details of Internal Marks. It manages all the information about Internal Marks of the students with
respect to the particular subjects. The project is totally built at administrative end and thus only the
administrator can give access to the registered faculties. The purpose of the project is to build an
application program to reduce the manual work for entering the Internal Marks, managing,
correcting and displaying it.

2.1.1 Functionalities provided by the Internal Marks Management

System
 Admin login and giving access to the faculties.

 Faculty sign-in and login.

 Inserting and manipulating student details.

 Inserting and manipulating subject details.

 Inserting and manipulating student marks.

 Easy to update details.

 Easy to delete records.

 A student-view for student to view the particular mark records.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

At present, the faculties are calculating the Internal marks manually using a calculator.
Also the maintaining of such records and their papers become a very difficult task. There
may be possibility of error in calculation or the papers consisting the mark details maybe
lost.

The students sometime become unware about their marks as the procedure is manual.
Hence the student will not get the clear idea about what are the minimum marks he need to
scone in next tests and other assessment tools to get minimum passing average marks.

The current system that is using by the Internal Marks is manual system. With the
manual system, there are problems in managing the student records. The records of the
student might not be kept safely and there might be missing some details about the student
due to human error or disasters. Besides that, errors might occur when there are more than
one records of the same student.

There are no centralized databases. So, it becomes really tedious for a person to search
student details or marks of the student in a particular subject. The only option is to manually
search and match details or make call student to search it.

Without an automated management system, there are also problems in maintaining the
details easily and efficiently that can benefit both faculties and students.

4.1.1 System Design

In this phase, a logical design is built which fulfils the given requirements. Design phase
of software development deals with transforming the user’s requirements into a logically
working system. Normally, design is performed in the following two steps:

1. Primary Design Phase:

In this phase, the system is designed at block level. The blocks are created on the basis of
analysis done in the problem identification phase. Different blocks are created for different
function emphasis is put on minimising the information flow between the blocks. Thus, all
activities which require more interaction are kept in one block.

2. Secondary Design Phase:

In the second phase the detailed design of every block is performed.

4.1.2 User Interface Design

User Interface Design is concerned with the dialogue between a user and computer. It is
concerned with everything from starting the system or logging into the system to the
eventually presentation of desired inputs and outputs. The overall flow of screens and
messages is called a dialogue.

4.1.3 E-R Diagram

E-R diagram is a popular high level conceptual data model. This model and it variations
are frequently used for the conceptual design of database application and many database
design tools employ its concept.

The following diagram shows the ER diagram for the Internal Marks Management System:
There are seven tables in our database: admin, student, branch, sem, IA-Marks, subject and
faculty.

CONLUSION

Our project is only a humble venture to satisfy the needs to manage their project
work. Several user friendly coding have also adopted. This package shall prove to be
powerful package in satisfying the requirements of faculties and students.

The project Internal Marks Management System is used for computerizing the
process for Internal Marks. It is a great improvement over the manual process. The software
take cares of all the operations and calculation required for assigning average Internal
Marks and it is capable to provide easy and effective storage of all data related to Internal
Marks and other details of the student.

Future Scope of the Project

In the nutshell, it can be summarized that the future scope of the project circles around
maintaining information regarding:

 We can add the printer in future.

 We can give more advances software for Internal Marks Management System
including more facilities.
 We can host the platform on online servers to make it accessible worldwide.
 Integrate multiple college to access this system.
 Create the master and slave database structures to reduce the overload of the
database queries.
 Implement the backup mechanism for taking backup of codebase and database on
regular basis on different servers.

The above mentioned points are the enhancements which can be done to increase the
applicability and usage of this project. Here we can maintain the records of Student Marks.
Enhancements can be done to maintain all the Internal Marks with External Marks along
with Grades assigned to the students.
