Introduction

Online Examination System forms the lifeline of

the Educational Institutes to the functioning of the Examination. It is very essential for an Institute to handle the Examinations and their results. It is very useful for an Institute to test its students continuously for their mutual development. This system is helpful for conducting (M.C) Multiple Choice Examinations which can be conducted regularly as well as for surprise tests and provides immediate results saving the precious time of faculties to check the papers and prepare mark sheets.

 The

IT initiatives have encouraged various Organizations to develop systems to facilitate their day to day operations. The Online Examination System will include various Courses (IT, Commerce, Science, etc) and subjects for conducting examinations. This system helps in conducting examinations quickly and can thus help in saving time and the operations will be carried out efficiently. With the effective use, any Institute can apply the Online Examination System for conducting quick examinations and getting better results in less time.

Problem Definition
The purpose of on-line test simulator is to take online

test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line test simulator is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc.

SCOPE:
Scope of this project is very broad in terms of other

manually taking exams. Few of them are:This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application(user Location doesnt matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.

FEATURES:
Secure
Easy to use Reliable and accurate

No need of examiner

OVEVIEW:
The online test created for taking online test has

following stages Login Test Result

OBJECTIVE
Create a Web application to be used in place of old

paper based user examination process. This Windows Application provides facility to conduct online examination at college campus. It saves time as it allows number of students to give the exam at a time and displays the results as the test gets over, so no need to wait for the result. It is automatically generated by the server.

 Use ASP.NET and SQL Server technology to create

strong and secured database connectivity. Incorporate the server software within the code. Runtime package and deployment instructions are given.

Utilities: It includes: Skip and come back to the question afterwards if

needed. Gives the list of attempted and unattempted questions and can go to any question directly and can either attempt or change the answer of the already attempted question.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
STUDY & WEAKNESSES OF CURRENT SYSTEM. Current System The Current system of examinations is highly complicated

and expensive. Whenever exams are to be conducted there are various tasks that have to be done again and again. Setting question paper Checking for errors Printing question papers Scheduling Exams Conducting Exams Checking Answer Papers Preparing Result Charts Solving Question Papers

Weaknesses in Current System

The current system is as mentioned earlier very

complicated and expensive as compared to the new system. It also wastes the precious time of the faculties which can then be used in solving student queries and helping them improvise. It also has no measures to prevent students from copying the answers rather than printing different sets of question papers which in turn can result expensive.

 After the exams have been conducted the faculty

has to provide solutions to the questions asked in exam. It would mean extra time and extra work for the faculty and also result in extra expenses of stationary. Thus, the current system is in every way ineffective for conducting examinations in these days when time is more costly than anything and they also pose a threat to the environment when we are amidst a global crisis and in the need of a Green Revolution.

REQUIREMENTS OF NEW SYSTEM

User Requirements. The User requirements for the new system are to

make the system fast, flexible, less prone to errors and reduce expenses and save time. Time can be saved in scheduling the exams if it were available tomake question banks to store questions for different subjects in advance and can be used as per required. A system that can automate the checking of answers which are pre-stored so that results can be generated as soon as the student gives the exam.

 A facility that can generate result charts as per

required without manual interference for providing how a task is to be done instead only asking what is to be done. The system should have Student and Faculty records on hand which can be used as per required only by authorized personnel. The New system should be more secure in managing user records and reliable enough to be used in any condition. Finally, it should prove cost effective as compared to the current system.

Feasibility Study
A key part of the preliminary investigation that

reviews anticipated costs and benefits and recommends a course of action based on operational, technical, economic, and time factors. The purpose of the study is to determine if the systems request should proceed further.

 Does the New System Contribute to the Overall

Objectives of the Organization? The new system would contribute to the overall objectives to of the organization. It would provide a quick, error free and cost effective solution to the current process. It would provide a solution to many issues in the current system. As the new system is flexible and scalable it can also be upgraded and extended to meet other complex requirements which may be raised in the future. However it is up to the organization to upgrade or extend it.

 Can the New System be Implemented Using Current

Technology? The organization has a computer laboratory which has about 50 machines connected by Internet Lan and managed by a server. It would be very easy to set up the system in the current environment as the application is web based it does not require to be installed on every machine. The database and IIS are set up on the server and the .Net Framework installed on every machine, the system can be started as quick as required by the management.

DATA FLOW DIAGRAM (DFD)

The DFD (also known as bubble chart) is a simple

graphical formalism that can be used to represent a system in terms of the input data into the system, various processes carried on these data, and the output data generated by the system. The main reason why the DFD technique is so popular is because the fact that the DFD is a very simple formalism it is simple to nderstand and use. A DFD model uses a very limited number of primitive symbols to represent the functions performed by a system and the data flow among the functions. Starting with a set of high-level functions that a system performs, a DFD model hierarchy represents various sub-functions.

DATABASE DESIGN
The overall objective in the development of database

technology has been to treat data as an organizational resource and as an integrated whole. DBMS allow data to be protected and organized separately from other resources. The proposed system stores the information relevant for processing in the MS SQL SERVER database. This database contains tables, where each table corresponds to one particular type of information. Each piece of information in table is called a field or column.

CONCLUSION
The On line test System is developed using Java and

sql fully meets the objectives of the system for which it has been developed. The system has reached a steady state where all bugs have been eliminated. The system is operated at a high level of efficiency and all the teachers and user associated with the system understands its advantage. The system solves the problem. It was intended to solve as requirement specification.
