ABSTRACT
 Online Examination System is a software solution, which allows a
particular company or institute to arrange, conduct and manage
examinations via an online environment.
 This can be done through the Internet, Intranet and/or Local Area
Network environments.
 Online Exams System fulfills the requirements of the institutes to
conduct the exams online.
 They do not have to go to any software developer to make a
separate site for being able to conduct exams online.
 They just have to register on the site and enter the exam details and the
lists of the students which can appear in the exam.
 Students can give exam without the need of going to any physical
destination.
 Candidate is given a limited time to answer the questions and after the
time expiry the answer paper is disabled automatically and answers is
sent to the examiner.
 They can view the result at the same time.
 Thus the purpose of the site is to provide a system that saves the
efforts and time of both the institutes and the students.
 Some of the problems faced by manual examination systems are
delays in result processing, filing pose a problem, filtering of records
are not easy.

 The chance of loss of records is high and also record searching is
difficult. Maintenance of the system is also very difficult and takes lot
of time and effort.
 Online Examination System is a System that establishes a network
between the institutes and the students.
 Institutes enter on the site the questions they want in the examination.
 The answers enter by the students are then evaluated and their score is
calculated and saved.
 The advantage is that it can be conducted for remote candidates and
evaluation of answers can be fully automated for multiple choice
questions can be evaluated manually or through automated system,
depending on the nature of the questions and the requirements.
 The disadvantage is there is no method to identify whether the exact
students take that exam.
 The system entitled “Online Examination System” is application
software, which aims at providing services to the institutes and
providing them with an option of selecting the eligible students by
themselves.

can give exams and view their results.
 This site is an attempt to remove the existing flaws in the manual
system of conducting exams.
 Online Examination System is very useful for Educational Institute to
prepare an exam, safe the time that will take to check the paper and
prepare mark sheets.
 It will help the Institute to testing of students and develop their skills.
 But the disadvantages for this system, it takes a lot of times when you
prepare the exam at the first time for usage and we are needs number
of computers with the same number of students.
1.1.What is Online Examination System all about?
 Online Examination System is a System that establishes a
network between the institutes and the students.
 Institutes enter on the site the questions they want in the
examination.
 These questions are displayed as a test to the eligible students.
 The answers enter by the students are then evaluated and their
score is calculated and saved.
 This score then can be accessed by the institutes to determine
the passes students or to evaluate their performance.
 Online Examination System provides the platform but does not
directly participate in, nor is it involved in any tests conducted.

 Questions are posted not by the site, but users of the site.
 The Site requires an institute to register before posting the
questions.
 The site has an administrator who keeps an eye on the overall
functioning of the system.
 The site gets revenue by charging the institutes each time they
want to conduct the exam.
 The system entitled “Online Examination System” is application
software, which aims at providing services to the institutes and
providing them with an option of selecting the eligible students
by themselves.
1.2.Background
 Online Examination System is a system that many educational
institutions and all users of the system can benefit from it.
 Many institutions use various paper materials and pens to
process the manual examination.

Requirement
Gathering

Page | 20
Requirement Gathering
 To develop any system it is most important to identify the user
requirements therefore it is very important to analysis the existing
system.
 During the analysis phase, initially we started with studying.
 The system with specification documents to understand the system.
 The project guide Mrs. Aarti Chauhan Conducted a Service of lecturer
to impact us the required knowledge about the system.
 During the lecture, we also had question and answer session at the end,
which help us to have a clear idea about the expected.
 For the Online Examination System, we used to do the mockup of
requirement, faults in existing system and try to handle the exception
and requirement for the proposed system.
 By discussion we were able to get a lot of important information for
proposed system.
 We have observed that what input the personnel give to their existing
system and what kind of output they are getting out.
 The Requirement investigation is the actual study of the system, which
is currently used in the firm or available locally.
 It involves an accurate study of what all aspects your system would
cover.
 In our case, it covered answers to questions like:
 What is the basic functionality of this Online Examination?
 How you can establish your network?
 How users can understand the whole system easily?

Page | 21
5.1.Feasibility Study
 What are the user’s demonstrable needs?
 User needs a web-based system, which will remove all the above
mentioned Problems that, the user is facing.
 The user wants a web-based system, which will reduce the
bulk of paperwork, provide ease of work, flexibility, fast
record finding, modifying, adding, removing and generating the
reports.
 How can the problem be redefined?
 We proposed our perception of the system, in accordance with
the problems of existing system by making a full layout of the
system on paper.
 We tallied the problems and needs by existing system and
requirements.
 We were further updating in the layout in the basis of
redefined the problems.
 In feasibility study phase we had undergone through various
steps, which are described as under:
How feasible is the system proposed? This was analyzed by
comparing the following:
Factors with both the existing system and proposed system.
 Cost
 The cost required in the proposed system is comparatively less
to the existing system.

Page | 22
 Effort
 Compared to the existing system the proposed system will
provide a better working environment in which there will be
ease of work and the effort required will be comparatively less
than the existing system.
 Time
 Also the time required generating a report or for doing any other
work will be comparatively very less than in the existing
system.
 Record finding and updating will take less time than the
existing system.
 Labor
 In the existing system the number of staff required for
completing the work is more while the new system will require
quite less number of staff.
5.2.Requirement Analysis
 Authenticating users based on username and password
 Recording candidates’ responses to every question.
 Checking whether the given response is correct or not.
 Keeping history of mark reports of all users
 The reports are required to be sent to the candidates.
 Invitations/report for the appearance for the new test will be posted.

Risk Analysis

Page | 24
Risk Analysis
 After gathering basic requirement, feasibility study and studying
functionality of proposed system, we assessed collected project data
for possible risks and found possible risks and found following
possible risks for project.
 Risk is defined as an exposure to the chance of injury or loss.
 That is, risk implies that there is a possibility that something negative
may happen.
 In the context of software projects, negative implies that there is an
adverse effect of cost, quality, or schedule.
 Risk management is the area that tries to ensure that the impact of
risks on cost, quality and schedule is minimal.
6.1.Risk Assessment
 Risk assessment is an activity that must be undertaken during
project planning.
 This involves identifying the risks, analyzing them, and
prioritizing them on the basis of the analysis.
 The software risks can be broadly divided into three
categories:
 COST RISK
 PERFORMANCE RISK
 SCHEDULE RISK
 Cost risk is the degree of uncertainty associated with budgets
and outlays for the project and its impact on the project.
 There is no extra cost associated other then the development
cost for System so there is no any cost risk.

Page | 25
 Performance risk is the possibility that the system will be
unable to deliver all or some of the anticipated benefits or
will not perform according to the requirements.
 It includes quality.
 For the development of the System we decided to follow the
incremental model so our plan was to provide the main or
core requirement for the company.
 Schedule risk is the degree of uncertainty associated with the
project schedule or the ability of the project to achieve the
specified milestone.
