 EXAM RESULT

ABSTRACT

This project is focused on creating an automated students result management system using
DATA BASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. This is a computerized exam results management
system for student’s examination records. The system presents a single platform that will be
used to manage the processing of all examination records within the institution.

The system will store and organize student information, exam details, and
corresponding marks. It will allow users to search and retrieve results
based on various criteria, such as student ID, subject, or semester. Additionally, the system
will generate reports and statistical analysis to help evaluate student performance and identify
areas for improvement.

The project will utilize relational database models to establish relationships between entities
and ensure data integrity. Overall, this project aims to streamline the process of managing and
accessing exam results, providing a comprehensive and reliable platform for all stakeholders.
 OBSTACLE:

• Before DBMS, data was stored in separate sites, making it difficult to manage.

• Data integrity, security and consistency were found difficult

• Data was stored in the file system which made it difficult to manage.

• Data was duplicated and consistent across different system.

• Data security was a major concern as it was difficult to restrict access to sensitive data.

RESOLUTION:

• DBMS provided centralized data management.

• DBMS ensures data integrity, security and consistency which were difficult to maintain
earlier.

• DBMS provides a centralized system to manage data.

• DBMS provides a single source of truth data.

• DBMS provides mechanisms for access control and data security.

 OBJECTIVES

• The objective of creating a DBMS project for showing exam results could be to provide
a centralized and secure platform for students to view their exam results.

• The project could help to automate the process of generating and publishing exam
results, reducing the workload of the administrative staff.

• The project could provide a platform for teachers to input and manage student grades,
reducing the possibility of errors and ensuring that all grades are recorded accurately.

• It ensures data privacy and protection from unauthorized access or data breaches.

• It enables the generation of customized reports based on specific criteria, such as

individual student performance, subject wise analysis, etc.

• Creating an interface for user to input exam results.

• Designing a user-friendly interface that allows administrators, students and teachers to

access and navigate through the system.

• Overall, the objective of the project would be to make the process of viewing and
managing exam results more efficient, accurate, and accessible.

NORMAL FORM:

STUDENT DETAILS TABLE

1.First Normal form(1NF):

- Each column contains only one atomic value, so the table is in 1NF.
2. Second normal form(2NF):
- there are no partial dependencies, as all non-key attributes depend on the entire
primary key(Roll), so the table is in 2NF.
3. Third normal form(3NF):
- There are no transitive dependencies, as all non-key attributes depend directly on the
primary key(Roll). Therefore, the table is 3NF.

SUBJECT DETAILS TABLE

 1.First Normal form(1NF):
- Each column contains only one atomic value, so the table is in 1NF.
2. Second normal form(2NF):
- there are no partial dependencies, as all non-key attributes depend on the entire
primary key (Subject_code), so the table is in 2NF.
3. Third normal form(3NF):
- There are no transitive dependencies, as all non-key attributes depend directly on the
primary key (Subject_code). Therefore, the table is 3NF.

EXAM DETAILS TABLE

1.First Normal form(1NF):

- Each column contains only one atomic value, so the table is in 1NF.
2. Second normal form(2NF):

AGGREGATE FUNCTIONS ARE SPECIAL FUNCTIONS THAT PERFORM

CALCULATIONS ON A SET OF VALUES AND RETURN A SINGLE RESULT. THESE
FUNCTIONS ALLOW YOU TO SUMMARIZE OR AGGREGATE DATA IN A TABLE OR
A RESULT SET.
