Abstract: The Online Examination System is web based solution for several organizations to take objective and
subjective exam. The study reveals the aspect of online examination system like its accuracy, automation, security
which made system being perfect. Online examination banishes the conventional technique of exam and introduces the

III.METHODOLOGY
The layer of creating system-
A. HTML and CSS- HTML (Hyper Text Markup language) is the set of markup symbols or code inserted in a
file extension (.html) intention is to display content on the web browser’s page world widely. It is the language totally
based on tag. HTML defines the core standard of web page.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) is styling language used to portray the look and formatting of a web page introduce by
markup language. It prescribed the overlaying design of system. It makes the system more attractive and presentable.

B. JavaScript- JavaScript is programming language used to define the behaviour of web page. It preserves the
system from unlawful data entry. Every inserted data is firstly validating.

C. PHP- PHP is a server side scripting language i.e. its scripts are directly implement on the server. PHP is
immersing with html. It can manage the-
• Contents dynamically.
• Database using query.
• Session tracking for security.

IV.Modules of System
Systems have two different modules that can be used by two different users.
1. Admin Module- It can be authorized person only who can manage all the database directly, and can do the
following:
i.Manage all the student records going to present in exam.
ii.Manage the available branch efficiently.
iii.Add the subject in particular branch.
iv.Create lots of question branch wise and subject wise.
v.Finally create the exam for examinee.
vi.Also view the report card of individual student.

2. Student Module- Basically student is the examinee who can login and give the available exam for them and
immediately view their performance by result.
i.Login the system.
ii.Present on the available exam.
iii.View the report card.

V.SYSTEM ANALYSIS
E-R diagram – E-R diagram(Entity Relationship diagram) as its name prescribe, it represent the relationship of entity
sets stored in database.ERD uses variety of symbol to represent entities and relationship like rectangle, diamond shape.

OES (Online Examination System) can be adopted by the organization and universities to bestow a flexible and
timeliness platform for better exam. It grants permission to login number of student, attend the exam at a time, and also
get immediate automatically generated report. Database can be managed by admin and coordinator, so no need of
professional skilled person. It also escalates the skill of student as well as facility.
