INTRODUCTION
 The “Student Management System” is a
digital solution for efficiently managing
student data, combining Python and SQL. It
streamlines tasks like adding, updating, and
retrieving student details, managing
attendance, and generating performance
reports. By automating processes, it
minimizes errors, saves time, and enhances
data organization, benefiting schools and
colleges with better administrative efficiency.
Features Overview:
∙ Student Data Management

● Add, update, delete, and retrieve student personal and academic

details.

∙ Attendance Tracking

● Record and view attendance for each student.

● Generate attendance percentage reports.

∙ Performance Monitoring

● Store and manage exam scores and grades.

● Generate performance reports for students.

∙ Search Functionality

● Search students by name, ID, or class for quick access to data.

∙ Database Integration

● Use SQL to store, query, and manage data securely and efficiently.

∙ User-Friendly Interface

● Python-powered interface for seamless interaction with the system .

∙ Report Generation

● Create summary reports for attendance, grades, and overall student

performance.

∙ Error Handling
● Validate inputs to prevent data inconsistencies or entry errors.
Code Modules:
● Imports:

import mysql.connector

from mysql.connector import Error

● Database Connection:

def connect_to_db():

try:

connection = mysql.connector.connect(

host="localhost",

user="root",

password="password",

database="student_db"

return connection

except Error as e:

print(f"Error connecting to database: {e}")

return None
 ● Student Record Management:

def add_student(name, roll_number, age, gender, contact):

connection = connect_to_db()

if connection:

cursor = connection.cursor()

query = "INSERT INTO students (name, roll_number, age,

gender, contact) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s)"

cursor.execute(query, (name, roll_number, age, gender,

contact))

connection.commit()

cursor.close()

connection.close()

● Search Functionality:

def search_student(roll_number):

connection = connect_to_db()

if connection:

cursor = connection.cursor()

query = "SELECT * FROM students WHERE roll_number = %s"

cursor.execute(query, (roll_number,))
 result = cursor.fetchall()

return result

Database Design:
The database for this system is designed using MySQL, which
ensures quick data retrieval and storage. The main table
students contains the following fields:

● id (Primary Key)
● name
● roll_number
● age
● gender
● contact
● address
● email

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE

(SDLC)
 The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is a project
management method that breaks down complex projects into
smaller, more manageable phases. This approach allows project
managers to check the completion of each phase before moving
on to the next. Software development projects typically go
through phases such as initiation, planning, design, development,
testing, implementation, and maintenance. However, the phases
can vary depending on the organization. For example, some may
divide the project into request, requirements-definition, and
planning phases, or initiation, concept development, and planning
phases. It's important for end users to review each phase’s output
to ensure the system meets the required functionality.

PHASES OF SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE

CYCLE

financial).
o Prepare a project plan and timeline.

2. Requirements Analysis Phase

● Objective: Gather and document functional and non-

functional requirements.
● Activities:
o Interview stakeholders (admins, teachers, students).
o Document required features (e.g., CRUD operations,
reports, authentication).
o Define system constraints (e.g., data storage limits,
response time).
o Create use cases and flow diagrams.

3. Design Phase

● Objective: Create a blueprint for the system architecture

and user interface.
● Activities:
o Design the database schema for storing student data.
o Create system architecture (front-end, back-end, APIs).
 o Develop mockups and wireframes for the user
interface.
o Plan workflows for each module (e.g., attendance,
grades).

4. Development Phase

● Objective: Build the system based on the design

specifications.
● Activities:
o Implement front-end and back-end components.
o Develop database tables and relationships.
o Code the features for student management,
authentication, and reporting.
o Integrate modules and APIs for functionality.

5. Testing Phase

● Objective: Ensure the system is free of bugs and meets

requirements.
● Activities:
o Conduct unit testing for individual modules.
o Perform integration testing to check module
compatibility.
o Conduct system testing to evaluate overall
functionality.
o Test performance, security, and usability.

6. Deployment Phase

● Objective: Deploy the system for use in the real-world

environment.
● Activities:
o Set up the system on production servers.
 o Configure the database and backend.
o Train users (admins, teachers) on system usage.
o Go live and monitor for any issues.

7. Maintenance Phase

● Objective: Ensure the system continues to perform

efficiently.
● Activities:

 5. Personal reflections

My name is Yash Kota, a student of Class 12 A, and I am excited

to share my journey of developing this project. This experience
has been a remarkable learning opportunity, filled with
challenges, discoveries, and personal growth. Each step of the
process taught me something new and allowed me to apply the
knowledge I gained in practical and meaningful ways.

From the very beginning, I took full responsibility for writing the
entire code for the project. Developing its features required
careful planning, creativity, and strong problem-solving skills. I
focused on making each part of the program functional and user-
friendly, ensuring that it met its intended purpose effectively and
efficiently.

One of the most challenging yet rewarding parts of the project

was debugging the code. There were times when errors felt
overwhelming, but I learned to address them systematically. By
exploring every detail, running multiple test cases, and finding
creative solutions, I ensured the program worked seamlessly. This
process not only refined the code but also enhanced my analytical
thinking and perseverance.

For the database component, I took on the task of finding a

reliable hosting provider for MySQL. Researching hosting options,
setting up the database, and integrating it with my code were
critical parts of the project. This taught me important lessons
about database management, secure connections, and selecting
scalable solutions. Successfully connecting the database with the
project was a significant milestone, giving me a sense of pride
and accomplishment.
