STUDENT AND CLASS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR JAYASEKERA MANAGEMENT CENTRE

Abstract

This Student and Class Management System (for Professional courses) was developed for Jayasekara Management Centre (Pvt) Ltd situated in Colombo 2. This institute offers courses like IBSL, CIMA and AAT to school leavers and to A/L students. Currently, the functions addressed in the new system are performed manually and are tedious and time consuming. The new system makes the day to day work of the institute more efficient, effective and easier. It reduces the amount of form-filling to be done, ensures that the customers get a first rate service and provides the management with details of the various transactions that take place within the establishment to support their decision making. Data security was also taken in to consideration. The system supports student enrolment, student detail updating, generation of a Class Admission Card, handling of payments, sending of emails to remind instalment payments,faster course details inquiries, lecturer registration, lecturer detail updating, lecturer time table generation, lesson management, tute management, storing of exam results, lecturer performance evaluation, daily income reports, monthly income reports and calculation of course fees. It is also possible to add new courses, stages, subjects and to update course details. There are 5 different types of people who can login in to the system. They are DEO, chief DEO, manager, lecturer and administrator. There are restrictions in the views so that only relevant items are accessible to each type of user. The system was developed according to the three-tier client server architecture and the computers were connected by a LAN. The system was developed according to object oriented techniques and waterfall model was used to develop it. Use case diagrams, class diagrams, sequence diagrams and activity diagrams were drawn during the design phase. MS SQL Server 2005, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server Management Studio Express were used in the development.
