Title of the Project : ONLINE EXAMINATION SYSTEM

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

This system will facilitate off-line evaluation of examinations and declaration of results. This
system will allow experts to send in their questions to the questions bank through this
system. In general this system has the following objectives:

• To design an on-line cost effective examination and evaluation system.

• Fetch the questions randomly according to specific criteria from a large question database.
• Provide on-line evaluation and result declaration system.
• Use latest IT tools and Internet/Intranet technology to make a on-line Examination and
evaluation system.
• To save the time of students engaged in learning advanced tools and technologies.
• To create a multi user application for conducting examinations and evaluating results on-
line for intranet.
• Measure your skills.
• Certify your abilities.

Online Examination & Result store is on line system having Graphical user interface, which
has been specially developed for any Examination. It covers the majority of the function
related to Online Examination System. It covers Question records, Students details. The
various main modules included in this software are as follows:

1. Master detail entry, which captures all the information, related to the master tables.
2. Transaction data entry, which stores data regarding the transaction.
3. Reports printing which print all the reports related to the system.

The main objectives of the system are:

1. To provide the user facility to maintain the Exam and result store records.
2. To provide the user ease with which (s) he can record all the day-to-day records with
minimum efforts.
3. To provide all the details of any student information and their result, and Fine
expenditures.
4. To provide all information about Student and details of Performance.
5. To automate the complete process of Question and answer. This allows for automatic
allotments to fresh students depending upon the categories and keeping in view even
distribution criteria for Exam meant for a particular category. It also provides for manual
alterations of Exam and date thus allotted and choice-based allotments to student.
6. To automate the complete process of orientation of new patients by assigning a small
group of faculty of the same date. This is based on any standard Online Examination
management system. Several criteria are applied to automatic allotments; also manual
alterations are permitted to authorized users.

Problem Statement

This Project work is undertaken in context of partial fulfillment of the MCA.

The Online Examination System has been initiated for many different reasons. The idea is to
set up an on-line cost effective Test Engine. The examination department, the academy will
maintain a question bank. The administrator will have the authority to modify the criteria
for examinations according to the academy’s rules.

• Electronic evaluation is quick and easy.

• Questions are generated one after another through database.
• User name and password for each student are checked properly.
• Automatically checking of objective answers and descriptive answers are manually
checked.
• Provide online declaration of results.
• Exam can be conducted at a specified time, which is configurable.
• Large question bank with a random selection of question set.
• Objective style questions.
• Store results of students.
• Students Administrator can view results.
• Enable/Disable exams.
• Up to four answer options are possible.
• Limit maximum time to finish answering the question set.
• Types of questions
1. True – False
2. Multiple Choice
3. Multi Response
4. Fill ups
5. Hot Spot Questions
• Easy navigation from one question to another.
• Introductory message for students before Taking exam.
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION

HARDWARE:

Processor: Pentium 2.4 GHz or above

Memory: 256 MB RAM or above
Cache Memory: 128 KB or above
Printer: Laser Printer
Pen Drive: 5 GB

SOFTWARE:

Operating System: Windows XP (Professional).

Font-End Tool: JSP, Servlets, Ecllipse
Back-End: MY SQL

Java Server Pages

Java Server Page. A server-side technology, Java Server Pages are an extension to the Java
servlet technology that was developed by Sun.

JSPs have dynamic scripting capability that works in tandem with HTML code, separating the
page logic from the static elements — the actual design and display of the page — to help
make the HTML more functional (i.e. dynamic database queries).

A JSP is translated into Java servlet before being run, and it processes HTTP requests and
generates responses like any servlet. However, JSP technology provides a more convenient
way to code a servlet. Translation occurs the first time the application is run. A JSP
translator is triggered by the .jsp file name extension in a URL. JSPs are fully interoperable
with servlet. You can include output from a servlet or forward the output to a servlet, and a
servlet can include output from a JSP or forward output to a JSP.

METHODOLOGY AND TOOLS USED

Advent of computers in the last two decades, every organization is going under the process
of computerization. The computerization has many benefits. Primarily, a computer is helpful
in four major aspects of any kind of organization:
1. Time Efficiency
2. Cost Effective
3. Huge data storage capacity and
4. Simple operation

Moreover, with the advent of the Internet technologies, World have changed lot call it the
social web. Through the dot COM bubble and bust, one trend has never wavered. Every
year, millions more people around the world are using the internet to interact in more ways
then ever before to date, find old classmates, check on medical elements and cures, to read
and express alternative views of the news, and even to give live sales help online, and in so
many other areas.

We have several alternative suggestions about the project category like: desktop
application, web-based application, OOPs application, Networking, RDBMS etc. Out of
available one we have opted Web based application based on client server architecture. The
proposed system falls into the category of Multimedia. A web based system has two types
of pages one is static web pages and another are dynamic web pages, which are saved on
web server and can be seen by sending request to web server through HTTP protocol.

Static web pages: – Static web pages are easy to spot sometimes we can pick them out by
just looking at the content of the page. The content (text, images, hyperlinks, and so on) and
appearance of static web pages is always the same regardless of who visits the page, or how
and when they arrive at the page, or any other factors.

Dynamic web pages: – The dynamic web pages are web pages, which we can interact like a
time is shown on the page or we are sending information through web form, online chat,
sending mail on net etc all the action this action performed with the help of dynamic web
pages.

Web Server: – Web server are software that manage web pages and make them available to
client browser via local network or over the internet. In the case of the internet, the web
server and browser are usually on two different machines, possibly many miles apart.
However, in a local situation you can set up machine that runs the web server software, and
then use a browser on the same machine to look at its web pages.
