ABSTRACT
This project work is based on online student admission
system into
Polytechnic and the
case study is
Polytechnic, , Kwara state.
The computerization is based on how to make the
admission process fast, efficient, accurate and more convenient for all the Departments
and the Polytechnic as a whole.
A lot of problems are encountered in manual system,
thus, these problems are put in to consideration and solutions are being given
to them in order to minimize them to a more bearable level or totally eliminate
them.

CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Online
admission in Kwara State Polytechnic, is the topic of the project. Kwara State
Polytechnic comprises of five institutes namely, of
and Applied Science (IBAS),
of and Management
Studies (IFMS), Institute of Technology (IOT), Institute of Environmental
Studies (IES), Institute of Administration (IOA), both National and Higher
National Diploma (ND and HND) programme.
Nowadays there
are technological advancement in the world as the world is a global village as
a result of this, the use of computer in all sectors makes student admission
simple, easy and also eradicate all forms of error made by human being.
An internet
based system will assist to reduce the problems of admission which is due to
the large number of students seeking for admission into the polytechnic.
With the use
of online there will be a proper presentation to the higher management, less
labour and it also eliminate time wastage and enhance accuracy.
1.2 AIMS AND
OBJECTIVES
The importance
of online admission process cannot be overemphasized, as a result of increasing
number of students who applied into Kwara State Polytechnic yearly. The
admission process encountered a lot of problems which determine the qualified
and unqualified candidates for a particular course of study in a specified
department and institute of the polytechnic.
The objectives
of this project to minimize the problems encountered are as stipulated below:
i. To reduce the problem of accumulated students forms
ii. In order to keep record of applied and admitted students
iii. To provide easy retrieval of a particular
record
iv. Availability of hostel allocation
v. Given of matriculation number
1.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF
THE STUDY
Due to the
fact that maintaining, controlling and storing of students record which are
being done manually are not efficient and effective, thus online admission
system was introduced to reduce or eliminate the problem.
The
significance of this study lies on the valuable contributions its makes to the
area of the study.
1.4 METHODOLOGY
The admission
office at the registry department of Kwara State Polytechnic was visited and
enquiries were made about how they handle the admission into the institution.
We also carried out interview about the existing manual system in order to
determine the accuracy, efficiency and effectiveness of the current system of
admission.
In this
research work the method of data collection used is interview method i.e face
to face interview as a result of the fact that questions were asked based on
its relevance problems to this research work. The officer in charge took us through
the process of how forms are been registered or sorted out departmentally and
how such files are being maintained.
Based on the
facts collected and analysis, online admission system was introduce based on
its relevance to this research work.
1.5 SCOPE AND
LIMITATION
This project
work covers the National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programme
of the Polytechnic but did not make attempts to other aspect of the institution
such as postgraduate students.
1.6 ORGANIZATION OF
THE REPORT
This project
work is based on online admission process, a case study of Kwara State
Polytechnic Ilorin and it is restricted to only National Diploma (ND) and
Higher National Diploma (HND) programme in Kwara State Polytechnic.
This research
work is arranged in to chapters which ranges from chapter one to five.
Chapter one
introduce us to the project work, aims and objectives of the study and does not
leave unturned the significance, methodology, scope and limitation of the
report.
Chapter two is
concerned with the literature review which comprises of the Historical
background and the state of art of the study. It also describe the advantage of
the online admission.
Chapter three
deals with the description and problems of the current procedure, the
description of the proposal system and also the advantage of the proposed
system.
Chapter four
deal with the design, implementation, documentation and maintaining of the
system in which the design of the system includes output, input design,
database design and the procedure design. The implementation of the system
includes the techniques used in details, the choice of programming language and
the reasons, the hardware and software support of the system.
Chapter five
deals with the summary, experienced gained, problem encounter, conclusion and
recommendation for further studies.
