ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the management for providing

me the lab facilities which has helped me to gain experience and excel in
computers. I would also like to express my heartiest thanks to my respected
principal Mrs. Mamatha Raviprakash and my computer teacher Mrs.
Sajeetha Kumari N V for providing me an oppurtunity to carry out the
project on Online Examination System which has helped me to aquire a
lot of knowledge about the same.
I would also like to thank my parents without whom completing this project
wouldnt be possible. Last but not the least I would like to thank my friends
who have helped me a lot in finalizing this project within the limited time

ABSTRACT
The project entitled Online Examination System is developed
using the programming language C++.
The teacher can manage the examinations details present for the

The project aims at simplifying a teachers job of creating and
checking the results of th students. It also helps students access tests easily and
get immediate test reports.

INTRODUCTION

This project entitled Online Examination System is developed

using the programming language C++.
Computers have made students preperation for exams as well as
a teachers job of analyzing the performance of students. This online
examination system provides a common platform for teachers and students.
The program proceeds as follows : An Introduction Screen is shown with the title proceeding which the
program requests for user type : Teacher
Student
If user is a teacher, the following functions are available : Want to add question

CONCLUSION
The online examination system has many advantages of which some are :

Eco Friendly
Efficient
Quick results
Reduces manual labour
Security

Page 25 of 26

The Online Examination System has opened a large number of oppurtunities

for students and teachers alike. With the advent of net cafes, students from
rural areas are able to take advantage of this system. It has changed the way
students prepare for competetive exams
