ABSTRACT
College Management System (CMS) provides a simple interface for

maintenance of student information. It can be used by educational institutes or
colleges to maintain the records of students easily. The creation and
management of accurate, up-to-date information regarding a students’ academic
career is critically important in the university as well as colleges. Student
information system deals with all kind of student details, academic related
reports, college details, course details, curriculum, batch details, placement
details and other resource related details too. It will also have faculty details,
batch execution details, students’ details in all aspects, the various academic
notifications to the staff and students updated by the college administration. It
also facilitates us to explore all the activities happening in the college. Different
reports and Queries can be generated based on vast options related to students,
batch, course, faculty, exams, semesters, certification and even for the entire
college. The placement officer is responsible for updating the placement related
information like eligibility criteria for a particular company, arriving date for the
company which is coming for recruitment, the list of students who are eligible for
attending the recruitment process.

INTRODUCTION
1. OVERVIEW:
For accomplishing big projects, the number of developers work collectively
on different modules. Their efforts when combined together gives the final
outcome. However, a member working on one module may encounter the
need to understand other modules. Hence, he may feel the need of telling
the concerned member to explain his module. It may be time consuming
and troublesome for the concerned member to explain the entire code of
the module. Therefore, there arises a need for a tool like CLASS
BROWSER which gives the class diagram of the entire module(project) .
It is quite reliable and easy to understand. It also helps in debugging large
projects.
The traditional view of software development takes an algorithmic
perspective. In this approach, the main building block of all software is the
procedure or function. This view leads developers to focus on issues of
control and the decomposition of larger algorithms into smaller ones.
There is nothing inherently evil about such a point of view except that it
tends to yield brittle systems. As requirements change and the system
grows, systems built on algorithmic focus turn out to be very hard to
maintain.
The contemporary view of software development takes an object-
oriented perspective. In this approach, the main building block of all
software systems is the object or class. Simply put, an object is a thing,
generally drawn from the vocabulary of the problem space or the solution
space; a class is a description of a set of common objects. Every object
has identity, state, and behavior.
The design and implementation of a
comprehensive Online College Management System and user interface is
to replace the current paper records. College Staff are able to directly
access all aspects of a student’s academic progress through a secure,
online interface embedded in the college’s website.
7
The system utilizes user authentication, displaying only information

necessary for an individual’s duties. Additionally, each sub-system has
authentication allowing authorized users to create or update information in
that subsystem. In addition to a staff user interface, the system plans for
student user interface, allowing users to access information and submit
requests online, thus reducing processing time. The system features a
complex logging system to track all users’ access and ensure conformity
to data access guidelines and is expected to increase the efficiency of the
college’s record management thereby decreasing the work hours needed
to access and deliver student records to the user.
1.1 EXISTING SYSTEM:

Previously the college management primary focus was on managing
students and account sections and rest are going besides them. But this
is not the actual scenario of today’s environment. Apart from these, there
are other modules which exist in a particular college, which the
management will have to look after. Existing system was not paying
attention for managing their working employees, integration of library
management was not possible, thus another software has to be used
which requires extra investment and effort. If the college provided boarding
facility, hostel management and store management was not available in
the existing system.
1.2 PURPOSE:
⮚ Facilitates hassle-free management of the whole administrative process.
⮚ Allows keeping relevant information about all the students, guardians,
teachers, and staff members so that it can be accessed by the concerned
authority anytime, as and when required.
⮚ It aids in enhancing the standard of an educational institution by reducing
the monotony and difficulty of dealing with routine tasks.
8
⮚ By eliminating loads of manual work and repetitive tasks, the software

helps in saving their time, money and resources.
1.3 SCOPE:
⮚ This project deals with the various functioning in college management
process. The main idea is to implement a proper process to system. Our
existing system contains an operations registration, student search, fees,
attendance, exam records, performance of the student etc. All these
activities are performed manually by administrator.
⮚ In our model, it deals with the operations in system. For example, when
students fill the registration form the record is stored in the database. And
details of student are displayed by retrieving information from database
table.
Our project aims at business automation process i.e., we have tried to

computerize the various processes of college management system:
● In computer system a person has to fill various forms and number of copies
of the form can be easily generated.
● It is not necessary to create manifest but we can directly print it which
saves our time.
● To assist the staff in capturing the effort spent on their respective work
areas.
● To utilize resources in an efficient manner by increasing their productivity
through automation.
● The system generates different types of information, which can be utilized
for various purposes.
● It satisfies user’s requirement.
● It is easy to understand by user as well as operator.
● It is easy to operate.
9
1.4 METHODOLOGY:
A methodology is a model, which is employed for the design, planning,
implementation and achievement of the project objectives. Methodology
has many research dimension and methods. Methodology is the
underlying principles and rules that governs the system method, on the
other hand it is a systematic procedure for a set of activities.
The system of collecting data for research project is known as research

methodology. The data may be collected for either theoretical or practical
research. For any project to be completed, it has to go through many
stages of System Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
10
2. AIM AND OBJECTIVE:

2.1 AIM:
The application - ‘College Management System’, aims for the automation
of the existing manual College record system.
Aims and Goals to be achieved:
• Provide Accuracy.
• Reduce Redundancy of data.
• Conserve data safely.
• To provide computer-based system to overcome shortfalls in current
manual system.
• Creating a login for administrator, which should be easy to manage.
2.2 OBJECTIVES:
Whenever we talk about college management, it doesn’t end with
managing students only. There are lots of sections where the college
management have to focus to run their college smoothly, look after their
administration sections, financial activities and much more. The CMS is
utilized to keep details of various departments and courses offered by
the college, student admission details, faculty details, day-to-day
attendance details, their salary details, end exam marks details, internal
marks details etc.
By building this information, the CMS software system can create
reports that are helpful for office staff, faculty, principal, HOD’s, and
for management within the administration.
Main objective of college management system project is to record
various details of activities of the college. It will simplify college work.
This system can maintain huge number of college records including
student, course, attendance, employee etc. College management
project is designed to remove all the deficiency of the current
system.
11
3. SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE

(SDLC):
The first phase of software project is to gather requirements. Gathering

software requirements begins as a creative brainstorming process in which
the goal is to develop an idea for new modules that no other software
vendor has thought. New software module ideas are normally developed
as a result of analyzing the project.
The main function of requirements gathering

phase is to take an abstract idea that fills a particular need or that solves
a particular problem and create a real-world project with a particular set of
objectives, timeline and team. Some of the highlights of the requirements
gathering phase include:
● Collecting project ideas.

● Gathering customer requirements and proposed solution.
● Justifying the project.
● Submitting the request for proposal
● Getting the team in phase.
● Preparing the requirements document.
Collecting project ideas:

Coming up with project ideas can prove expansion exercise.
Selecting Programming/Coding Language:

C++
3.1 FEASIBILITY STUDY:
Whenever a new system (a hardware or software) is to be introduced, there is a need

to study the new system in every aspect or manner before working on it. We get the
idea whether the project is adequate or not.
The feasibility study is based on 3 major questions:
1. Does the candidate system meet the user requirement?
12
2. Is the problem worth solving?

3. The impact of the system on organization.
3.1.1 Technical, Economically & Operational Feasibility:
1. Financial feasibility:
Financial feasibility refers to financial support required. It refers to finance

incurred during the development of the project.
2. Technical feasibility:
Technical feasibility refers to technical knowhow and auxiliary devices

required.
The criteria for technical feasibility are:
● Easy to use
● Security
● Binary compatibility
● Reliability
3. Behavioral feasibility:
Refers to reaction of the people towards the project.
4. Operational feasibility:
Operational feasibility means, is it possible to practically implement the

project. While installing this software, the hardware and software
requirements should be specified.
5. Cost feasibility:
The cost incurred by our system includes only the software cost and the
cost of computer needed to run the project.
6. Maintainability:
It usually comprises of two key factors:

● Updates: As the project is built with keeping in mind all the necessary
functions so no essential update is required.
13
● Terminals must be updated with antivirus so the proper functioning of

operating system can be maintained.
7. Portability:
As the size of the project is enormous. So, a compact drive can be used
to transfer it from one server to another. If required then data can also be
moved to secondary memory devices. So, it is portable to a large extent.
8. Extensibility:
The project is easily extensible.
9. Reusability:
The extensibility and portability of the project would make it a reusable

software.
3.2 ANALYSIS:
Introduction:
The main function of the analysis phase is to look carefully at the requested
features with an eye towards the issue that each may create in the actual
coding. This phase is the time during which reasonably deliverable
thoughts of each team member can be decided.
User Requirement:
The following requirements are raised during the analysis of the needs of
the users:
• A Person Should be able to login to the system through the first

page of the Application.
• The Administrator can create users as per user requirement.
• A general user will have access to see the status of particular
Student id number.
14
• Student (user) can use all the facilities, same as which are provided
to him in the college.
• Student can see attendance, notices, grades, report and other
facilities in updated manner.
• There will be a separate page for every student as his account, in
which he/she can get notices, attendance, grades, assignments etc.
• Faculty can give the attendances and notices for the students.
• The administrator verifies all these reports and generates them for
users to view them.
After analyzing the requirements of the task to be performed, the next

step is to analyze the problem and understand its context. The first activity
in the phase is studying the existing system and other is to understand the
requirements and domain of the new system. Both the activities are
equally important, but the first activity serves as a basis of giving the
functional specifications and then successful design of the proposed
system. Understanding the properties and requirements of a new system
is more difficult and requires creative thinking and understanding of
existing running system is also difficult, improper understanding of present
system can lead diversion from solution.
3.2.1 EXISTING SYSTEM:
Previously the college management primary focus was on managing

students and account sections and rest are going besides them. But this
is not the actual scenario of today’s environment. Apart from these, there
are other modules which exist in a particular college, which the
management will have to look after. Existing system was not paying
attention for managing their working employees, integration of library
management was not possible, thus another software has to be used
which requires extra investment and effort. If the college provided boarding
facility, hostel management and store management was not available in
the existing system.
15
Disadvantages Of Existing System:
● Consumes more time

● Is Costly
● More manpower is required
● More work
● Less work results
● Room for errors
3.2.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM:

It’s the new complex college management system presented in an interactive
way. Within this new college management system, lots of features have been
added to handle complex environment. Right from managing students, it has
been integrated with hostel management, library management, account
management, store management, employee’s management and bus
management.
Advantages Of Proposed System:
● The application can be accessed through the internet.

● It is a user-friendly application.
● Anyone can visit this application anytime.
● Information about college can be easily accessed and retrieved.

3.2.3 DATA FLOW DIAGRAM:
A data flow diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the "flow" of

data through an information system, modelling its process aspects. A
DFD is often used as a preliminary step to create an overview of the
system without going into great detail, DFDs can also be used for the
visualization of data processing (structured design).
A DFD shows what kind of information will be input to and output from
the system, how the data will advance through the system and where
the data will be stored.
The data flow diagram for college management system has following 3

3.3 PLANNING:
Planning is the process of thinking about the activities required to achieve

a desired goal. It involves the creation and maintenance of a plan, such as
psychological aspects that require conceptual skills. There are even a
couple of tests to measure someone’s capability of planning well.
3.3.1 Functional Requirement
● The system shall incorporate mechanism to authenticate its users.

● The system shall verify and validate all user input and should notify in
case of error detection and should help the user in error correction.
3.3.2 Non-Functional Requirements
● The system shall be user friendly and consistent.

● The system shall provide attractive graphical interface for the user.
● The system shall allow developer access to installed environment.
● The system shall target customer base.
3.3.3 Architecture of The Proposed System
This process supports existing infrastructure requirements and provides

specific recommendations for hardware and network solutions based on
existing and projected user needs. Application requirements, data
resources, and people within an organization are all important in
determining the optimum hardware solution. It is represented using a
three-tier architecture that comprises of user interface, process
management and Database Management System (DBMS). It shows the
components of the system, the services they provide and the way they
communicate to bring about the system functionality.

23
3.4 DESIGN:
Design phase is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction

of an object, system or measurable human interaction.
We have mainly three modules:
1. Administrator module
2. Student module
3. Faculty module
Module Description:
I. Administrator:
The administrator can view and edit his own profile. He can register the
new students and faculty into the application. The administrator can
manage the account details and also, he can generate reports related to
fee payment, leaves and academics.
II. Students:
The administrator creates the profile of new students in the application.

After log-in into the application, the student can view, edit and update
his/her profile. The student can apply for leave and view its status. The
student can pay the fee in this application and view his academics.
III. Faculty:
The faculty can view, update or edit his/her profile in the application. The
faculty can search for the student leaves and he/she can approve the
leaves. The faculty can update the student academics.

3.4.2 Entity-Relationship Diagram:

ER Diagram stands for Entity Relationship Diagram, also known as ERD
is a diagram that displays the relationship of entity sets stored in a
database. In other words, ER diagrams help to explain the logical
structure of databases. ER diagrams are created based on three basic
concepts: entities, attributes and relationships.
ER Diagrams contain different symbols that use rectangles to represent

entities, ovals to define attributes and diamond shapes to represent
relationships.
At first look, an ER diagram looks very similar to the flowchart. However,

ER Diagram includes many specialized symbols, and its meanings make
this model unique. The purpose of ER Diagram is to represent the entity
framework infrastructure.
ER Model stands for Entity Relationship Model is a high-level conceptual

data model diagram. ER model helps to systematically analyze data
requirements to produce a well-designed database. The ER Model
represents real-world entities and the relationships between them. ER
model helps you to analyze data requirements systematically to produce
a well-designed database. Creating an ER Model in DBMS is considered
as a best practice before implementing your database.
Entity Relationship Diagram Symbols & Notations mainly contains

three basic symbols which are diamond, rectangle and oval to
represent relationships between elements, entities and attributes
respectively. There are some sub-elements which are based on main
elements in ER Diagram. ER Diagram is a visual representation of
data that describes how data is related to each other using different
ERD Symbols and Notations.
27
Following are the main components and its symbols in ER

Diagrams:
• Rectangles: This Entity Relationship Diagram symbol represents

entity types.
• Ellipses: Symbol represent attributes. Diamonds: This symbol
represents relationship types.
• Lines: It links attributes to entity types and entity types with other
relationship types.
• Primary key: Attributes are underlined.
• Foreign key: Attributes are underlined by a dotted line.
• Double Ellipses: Represent multi-valued attributes.
• Double Rectangle: Represents weak entity.
• Double Diamond: Represents a weak relation.
Components of the ER Diagram
This model is based on three basic concepts:
● Entities
● Attributes
● Relationships

3.4.3 GANTT CHART:

A Gantt chart is a project management tool assisting in the planning and
scheduling of projects of all sizes, although they are particularly useful for
simplifying complex projects. Project management timelines and tasks are
converted into a horizontal bar chart, showing start and end dates, as well
as dependencies, scheduling and deadlines, including how much of the
task is completed per stage and who is the task owner. This is useful to
keep tasks on track when there is a large team and multiple stakeholders
when the scope changes.
As it's in a bar chart format it is possible to check on progress with a quick

glance. You can easily see:
● A visual display of the whole project,

● Timelines and deadlines of all tasks,
● Relationships and dependencies between the various activities,
● Project phases.
When you set up a Gantt chart, you need to think through all of the tasks
involved in your project and divide them into manageable components.
Then decide who will be responsible for each task and delegate to the
team. Identify task relationships and decide on the completion date,
sequence for each task, showing the expected time duration of the whole
project and the sub tasks. A Gantt chart will:
• Show the tasks in a sequential order and display task dependencies (i.e.,
how one task relates to another).
• Determine and allocate your resources.
• Anticipate the risks and problems you may encounter and create a
contingency plan for potential problems.

3.4.4 USE CASE DIAGRAM:

A UML use case diagram is the primary form of system/software requirements
for a new software program underdeveloped. Use cases specify the expected
behavior (what), and not the exact method of making it happen (how). Use
cases once specified can be denoted by both textual and visual representation
(i.e., use case diagram). A key concept of use case modeling is that it helps us
design a system from the end user's perspective. It is an effective technique for
communicating system behavior in the user's terms by specifying all externally
visible system behavior.
A use case diagram is usually simple. It does not show the detail of the use
cases:
• It only summarizes some of the relationships between use cases, actors,

and systems.
• It does not show the order in which steps are performed to achieve the
goals of each use case.
32
33
3.5 Implementation:
Implementation is the stage in the project where the theoretical design is turned
into a working system and is giving confidence on the new system for the users
that it will work efficiently and effectively. It involves careful planning,
investigation of the current system and its constraints on implementation,
design of methods to achieve the changeover, an evaluation of changeover
methods. Apart from planning major task of preparing the implementation are
education and training of users. The more complex system being implemented,
the more involved will be the system analysis and the design effort required just
for implementation.
Implementation is the final and important phase. This is the most

critical stage in achieving a successful new system and in giving the users
confidence that the new system will work effectively.
The system can be

implemented only after thorough testing. This method also offers the greatest
security since the old system can takeover if the errors are found or inability to
handle certain type of transactions while using the new system.
There are various types of implementations:
● Implementation of a computer system to replace an old manual system.
● Implementation of a new computer system to replace an existing one.
● Implementation of modified application to replace an existing one.
34
3.6 TESTING:
System testing is the stage of implementation, which is aimed at ensuring that
the system works accurately and efficiently before live operation commences.
Testing is vital to the success of the system. Testing is the process of
executing a program with the explicit intention of finding errors that is making
the program fail.
Different testing methodologies are used:
• Black Box Testing

• White Box Testing
Software testing methods are traditionally divided into black box testing and
white box testing. These two approaches are used to describe the point of
view that a test engineer takes when designing test cases.
Black Box Testing:
Black box testing treats the software as a “black box” without any knowledge
of internal implementation. Black box testing methods include: equivalence
partitioning, boundary value analysis, all-pairs testing, fuzz testing, model-
based testing, traceability matrix, exploratory testing and specification-based
testing.
White Box Testing:
White box testing, by contrast to black box testing, is when the tester has
access to the internal data structures and algorithms (and the code that
implements these). White box testing methods can also be used to evaluate
the completeness of a test suite that was created with black box testing
methods. This allows the software team to examine parts of a system that are
rarely tested and ensures that the most important function points have been
tested.
Grey Box Testing
Grey box testing involves having access to internal data structures and
algorithms for purposes of designing the test cases, but testing at the user, or
35
black-box level. Manipulating input data and formatting output do not qualify
as “grey box” because the input and output are clearly outside of the “black-
box” that we are calling the system under test. This distinction is particularly
important when conducting integration testing between two modules of code
written by two different developers, where only the interfaces are exposed for
test. Grey box testing may also include reverse engineering to determine, for
instance, boundary values or error messages.
Non-Functional Software Testing:
Special methods exist to test non-functional aspects of software.
● Performance testing checks to see if the software can handle large

quantities of data or users. This is generally referred to as software
scalability. This activity of Non-Functional Software Testing is often times
referred to as Load Testing.
● Stability testing checks to see if the software can continuously function well
in or above an acceptable period. This activity of Non-Functional Software
Testing is often times referred to as indurations test.
● Usability testing is needed to check if the user interface is easy to use and
understand.
● Security testing is essential for software which processes confidential data

and to prevent system intrusion by hackers.
● Internationalization and localization are needed to test these aspects of

software, for which a pseudo localization method can be used.
36
3.7 MAINTENANCE:
During the maintenance stage of the SDLC, the system is assessed to

ensure it doesn’t become obsolete. This is also where changes are
made to initial application/ software. It involves continuous evaluation
of the system in terms of its performance.
In the maintenance phase of SDLC we can add-on new content and
update our application according to change in college management
system.

5. FUTURE ENHANCEMENT:
➢ Online examination module would be introduced to conduct online

examination.
➢ Scheduling of the staff i.e., time table setting of the staff function would
be introduced.
➢ Class as well as exam time tables i.e., faculty or staff members will have
an added functionality of creating time tables for lecture and exams to be
held.

6. CONCLUSION:
The project entitled as College Management System is the system that

deals with the issues related to a particular institution.
• This project is successfully implemented with all the features mentioned

in system requirements specification.
• The application provides appropriate information to users according to the
chosen service.
• The project is designed keeping in view the day-to-day problems faced by
a college.
• Deployment of our application will certainly help the college to reduce
unnecessary wastage of time in personally going to each department for
some information.
Awareness and right information about any college is essential for both
the development of student as well as faculty. So, this serves the right
purpose in achieving the desired requirements of both the communities.
