The document describes an examination system created in Microsoft Access 2007. It includes tables to store student admission information and examination results. Queries were designed to extract class-wise and group-wise data. Forms and reports were created for data entry and presentation. The system aims to automate an examination record keeping process that was previously done manually using registers and files. It allows for easier data access, storage, security and sharing compared to a manual system.

Examination System
Introduction
To maintain the examination record previously huge registers, various record books and
files were being maintained even then it was extremely difficult to get the appropriate data
whenever it was required, even then most of the time it would not be as correct as i8t should
have been. With the introduction of computers where a lot of other record keeping became easy
and convenient, data regarding the examination with complete record of all types of
examinations and information about each and every candidate has become extremely easy,
correct and available at the click of a button.

5. Microsoft Office Access 2007
To prepare the project we have to take the following main steps:
1. We have to enter the basic information about the student i.e. student’s name, roll no,
class, section and group.
2. Then we have to concern with the examination in charge to get the information about
Student’s performance in the examination i.e. marks and status.
Drawbacks of manual work
Following are some drawbacks of manual work:
• Time consuming:
Getting the required information from the available data takes a lot of time.
Changing, editing and updating the information contained in several files is a
slow and time consuming process.
• Needs Large Space:
In manual work done data item has to be stored at several places, similarly
student’s record is maintained in separate registers. It requires more storage
space.
• Data Security:
There is no security in the manual work. Data can be damaged or lost and
unauthorized persons can access it easily.
• Need of Effort:
In manual system, a student’s record is maintained in separate files so it takes
much effort to collect data from several files for each student and if we want to
change or delete the data of any student then it has to be changed or deleted from
all the files and places.
• Need of Several People:
Several people are required to manage the information. This also increases the
system costs.
• High Costs:
It is very difficult and expensive to keep the information consistent and updated.

Advantages of Proposed System
There are much advantages of proposed system than manual work. Some are as follows:
• Data Consistency:
In proposed system one data item is stored at one place. So whenever data is
retrieved , always current value of data is used.
• Better Data Accessibility:
Data can be retrieved more easily in database system. It provides special data
access language sand techniques to store data.
• Data Security:
It is the protection of the database from unauthorized access. The database
management system provides several procedures to maintain data security.
• Data Sharing:
A database is created for one application. But this database can also be easily
used for new applications that need the same data or a portion of the data.
• Less Effort:
The data maintenance in a database management system needs less effort in the
proposed system as compared to manual work system.
• Compactness:
The database management system maintains data in a compact and efficient
manner. It needs less space than the manual storage system.
Designing of proposed System
• Table Creating:
Table is the fundamental concept of relational database it is used to store data. In
a table data is arranged in rows and columns.
In this project we have made five tables (Admission Form, Date Sheet, Result for
ICS, Result for pre engineering, Result for pre medical). In those five tables one
(admission table) is our main table and the other four are sub tables, which are
linked with the main table by the creating relationship between them.

 Registration:
In the step of registration the data about (entity) student i.e.
student’s name, roll number, class, section, group etc. is recorded.
• Admission Table (main table):
In the project admission table is the main table.
In this table we have defined the (field name).Roll no is set as the primary key so
that no data is duplicated.
We have assigned data type (number) for the field (roll no) and to other fields we
have assigned (text) data type.
 Transaction:
One complete operation carried out on a database is called a
transaction. Transaction is carried out on al primary tables i.e.
Result sheet for I.C.S, Pre-Medical, Pre- (Engineering,
Humanities, General Science Group (1) and Group (2).
• Sub Tables:
All sub tables have same field names and data types and composite key is
assigned to it.

 Relationship:
The linking of records of one table with the records of other table
is called a relationship. There are three type of relationship:
 One to one relationship.
 One to many relationship.
 Many to many relationship.
Examination System Page 8

9. Microsoft Office Access 2007
The tables are linked by one to one relationship
• Query Designing:
A request to extract data from a database according to some specified criteria is
called query. We designed the project in such a way that every sub table is
separately linked with main table.
In this project we have made group wise and class wise queries(Date Sheet for
First Term, Examination Sheet, Result for ICS group 1, Result for ICS group 2,
Result for pre engineering group 1, Result for pre engineering group 2, Result for
pre medical group 1, Result for pre medical group 2). In designing class wise
queries we have given class criteria (ICS) s all the data about this specific class
is extracted and is placed in a table.
• Query1 (Date Sheet).:
 Design View:

Date Sheet for students is presented as query
 Data Sheet View:
The result of the query made by the name of Date Sheet for
students is shown in the Data Sheet view.

Examination Sheet is presented as query
 Data Sheet View:
The result of the query made by the name of Examination Sheet for
students is shown in the data sheet view.
• Query3 Result Sheet for ICS:
The data about the result of students of ICS is extracted and is presented as a query.

13. Microsoft Office Access 2007
 Data Sheet View:
The result of the query made by the result Sheet for ICS is shown
in the data sheet view.
• Form Designing:
Form is a window that collects data form a database and organizes it on the
computer screen. They are specially designed to make data entry and retrieval
easier. They provide an easy interface for entering, editing and displaying data.
They are mostly designed by using wizard.
In this project we are going to use six forms (Admission Form, Date Sheet for
First Term, Examination Sheet, Result for ICS, Result for pre engineering, Result
for pre medical).

• Form of Date Sheet is shown below:
• Form for students in Examination Sheet is shown below:
• Form of the result of the student of Pre-Engineering is given below:
Examination System Page 14

15. Microsoft Office Access 2007
These forms show subject wise result of different students of different groups.
• Report Designing:
Presentation of processed data obtained from a database is called report. A
report simply retrieves data from a database and presents it in a formatted form.
New data cannot be entered and modified. The report can be displayed on the
screen, printed on the paper or stored on disk.
In this project we have eight reports (Date Sheet for First Term, Examination
Sheet, Result for ICS group 1, Result for ICS group 2, Result for pre engineering
group 1, Result for pre engineering group 2, Result for pre medical group 1,
Result for pre medical group 2)
• The report of Examination sheet is shown below:
• The report of Result Sheet for Pre Medical:
