Abstract: Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) is a three year external degree programme which is conducted by University of Colombo School of Computing (UCSC). Registration, academic Co-ordination, examination, Learning management System and handling BIT web site are the main academic and administration activities that are taking place in the system. The administration of the BIT programme is carried out by different authorized personnel at different locations. As a result of that the databases that each one is using are in different formats. The transparencies between the databases are at a very low level. Therefore the integration of data from the various locations creates obstacles. When taking a decision about a particular student it would be a lengthy operation which has to do manually due to the lack of connectivity between the individual databases. Finding the history information of a staff member has become a difficult task as a result of the data is not available in the database in an ordered manner. To minimize the problems that encounter in the BIT system a Management Information System for BIT has proposed. The problems that are addressed during the project are student data gathering and processing, student registration, staff data gathering and analyzing, processing data batch wise and identifying and solving problems that occur when finalizing student results. Maintaining a centralized database is the solution to solve the problems arises as a result of lack of visibility among the data use by individual authorized personnel. Giving the opportunity only for authorized personnel to access the system and keeping security levels are important to increase the secrecy of the data. By having number of forms and use friendly interfaces it is easy for the users to interact with the system. The system has published on the web to minimize the problems that are faced by the users to use the system at any time. In the completion process of the project PHP for Web development, MySQL for database handling have used. Macromedia Dreamviewer MX is also used as software that helps for coding. After evaluating the system using the administration staff, it was found that the system has satisfied majority of the objectives. Among those, student data gathering and processing, student results deciding, staff data gathering and processing, creating a user friendly, security system were identified as major components.
