 INTRODUCTION
This system will help the Universities who have annual system of education. Like, conducting the annual examinations. In which the academic year start from April. Students having compartment is given next chance in next 2 to 3 months and if compartment is also not cleared , then the student is considered as fail and he/she has to give the all the exams in the subsequent year. This software may be helpful to universities like Panjab University, Chandigarh, in Examination Managing. The criteria for examination conduction, hall ticket issuance and detail marks card issuance to first year students is based on the rules and regulations of the Panjab University . This software can also be used to register students and to give them a permanent enrollment number. Criteria for registering new students is based on the lower examination i.e. 10+2 basis. The student should have passed the 10+2 examinations from any school board in India. The students who have passed lower examination from Punjab School Education Board ( PSEB) , Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE Board) , Himachal Pardesh School Board and Haryana School Board are considered Non Migration Cases and are charged normal registration + examination fee and students seeking admission in first year coming from any other School Board other than mentioned above are considered migration cases and are charged an extra migration fee Rs. 450/- apart from registration and examination fee. Students those who have compartment in any one subject in lower examination are also considered with a condition that the student will clear the compartment within the stipulated date given by university.

Project Category :- R D B M S
The data base management system is to provide a convenient and effective method of defining, storing and retrieving the information. So, the system, is primarily a Data Base Management System. As mentioned in the introduction , the prime job of the project will be to manage the database of examination , marks , students for the purpose of easy conducting of examination and Marks-sheet Preparation. A University must have accurate and reliable data for effective conducting of examination and maintain records on the various facet of its operations by building appropriate model of the devise classes of objects of interest so that any establishment or organization and people attached to it require timely and correct information. As students are directly attached to the university and students must be given timely and error free information regarding examinations , therefore a secured database like ORACLE is chosen as backend and for the ease of use Visual Basic is chosen as front-end. Oracle is an object relational data base. A relational data base is an extremely simple way of thing about and managing the data used and it is nothing than a collection of table of data. In addition to above the DBMS exerts centralized control of the data base, prevents fraudulent or unauthorized users from accessing the data and ensure the privacy of the data.
