2. INTRODUCTION TO FLOWCHART
A flowchartisa visual representationwhichshowsasequence of operationsthatare tobe performedin
orderto get the solutiontoa problem.While flowchartsmaybe appliedtocomputersolutions,they are
an excellent tool when it comes to business, education and even something as myriad as a recipe or a
how-to guide.
SYMBOL OF FLOWCHART:
1. Data object- The data objectoftenreferredtoasthe I/O shape shows the inputs to and outputs
from a process.
2. Rectangle- This is used to represent an event which is controlled within the process. Typically
this will be a step or action which is taken.
3. Diamond- Used to represent a decision point in the process. Typically, the statement in the
symbol will require a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response and branch to different parts of the flowchart
accordingly.
4. Document- The document object is a rectangle with a wave like base. This shape is used to
represent a document or report in a process flow.
5. Roundedbox- Thisisusedtorepresentaneventwhichoccurs automatically. Such an event will
trigger a subsequent action, for example ‘receive telephone call, or describe a new state of
affair.
6. Stored data- This is a general data storage object used in the process flow as opposed to data
which could be also stored in a hard drive magnetic tape, memory card, of any other storage
device.
7. Manual input- Thisobjectisrepresentedby rectangle with the top sloping up from left to right.
The manual input object signifies an action where the user is prompted for information that
must be manually input into a system.
8. Direct data- Direct data object in a process flow represents information stored which can be
accessed directly. This object represents a computer’s hard drive.
9. Circle- Used to represent a point at which the flowcharts connect with another process. The
main or difference for the other process should appear within the symbol.
10. Internal storage- This is an object which is commonly found in programming flowcharts to
illustrate the information stored in memory, as opposed to on a file.
11. Predefined process- This allows to write one subroutine or call it as often as we like from
anywhere in the code.

3. Some guidelinesinflowcharting:
1. Properformis essential:Indrawingaproperflowchart,all necessaryrequirementsshouldbe
listedoutinlogical order.
2. Clarityisparamount:The flowchartshouldbe clear,neatandeasyto follow.There shouldnot
be any room forambiguityinunderstandingthe flowchart.
3. Stickto the right direction:The usual directionof the flow of aprocedure orsystemisfromleft
to rightor top to bottom.
4. Standardfor flowlines:Ideallyjustone flow lineshouldcome outfroma processsymbol.While
onlyone flowline shouldenteradecisionsymbol,aroundthree flow linesshouldleavethe
decisionsymbol.Additionally,onlyone flow line isutilizedtogetherwithaterminal symbol.
5. Be concise,notcopious:Write withinstandardsymbolsbriefly.
6. Logic precedeseverything:If we are dealingwithacomplex flowchartthenuse connecter
symbolstominimize the numberof flow lines.Ditchthe intersectionof flow linestoensure
effectivenessandbettercommunication.Itisimperativethatflowcharthasa logical startand
finish.

9. IDENTIFICATION OF THREE TROUBLE SPOTS & CORRESPONDING PROBLEMDEFINITIONS
1. In admission process, it is very difficult to go from one building to another building because
there are many processes to take admission in college like interview, medical checkup,
counseling, agreement etc. so it is very difficult for those applicants who have not their own
vehicles.
For convenience, every process should be carried out at one building.
2. Every process takes much more time. Due to this, Applicants get tired and can’t attend the
admission process properly. So it is very difficult for students to attend all the procedure of
admission.
3. College does not provide any refreshment so that applicant and their parents get very hungry
during the admission process.
