Centralized Student Allotment Process Project Abstract


1. INTRODUCTION 

 

The CENTRALIZED STUDENT ALLOTMENT PROCESS (CSAP) is a Software Project with the main objective to create an automated admission processing system for all engineering programs at various colleges conducting those programs.. The following subsections of the Software Requirements Specifications (SRS) document provide an overview of the entire CENTRALIZED STUDENT ALLOTMENT PROCESS.

1.1 Purpose

 

The Software Requirements Specification (SRS) describes the functions and detailed description of the requirements for the CENTRALIZED STUDENT ALLOTMENT PROCESS (CSAP). This SRS will allow for a complete understanding of what is to be expected of the CSAP to be constructed. The clear understanding of the CSAP and it’s functionality will allow for the correct software to be developed for the end user and will be used for the development of the future stages of the project. This SRS will provide the foundation for the project. From this SRS, the CSAP can be designed, constructed, and finally tested.

The purpose of the SRS document is to describe the external behavior of the CSAP system. Requirements Specification defines and describes the operations, interfaces, performance and quality assurance requirements of the centralized allotment process system. The document also describes the non-functional requirements such as user interfaces and the design constraints. The SRS captures the complete requirements for the system.


1.2 Scope

 

As concerned to scopes of the project, it will automate the admission process and various operations involved in it. The system is designed for the allocation of seats for various engineering programs in various colleges, which help the students as well as the colleges to do the admission process easily within less time and human effort. The product will avoid the burden of the manual operation required to maintain all the records of Colleges and Students. It will also provide data security as we are using the secured database for maintaining documents. We can also conserve time and human resources for doing the same task. The data can be maintained for longer period with no loss of data. Its other factors are cost cutting, operational efficiency, consist view of data and integration with other institutions. Main challenges are effectively sync internal and external operations in such a manner that job can be finished within time limit and integration with different agencies on an agreed upon common data format.

The main reason for choosing this topic is to reduce the time and complexity of maintaining the records and also to easily perform the task of book keeping. It also helps in accurate maintenance admission details which can be referenced by students in later years.


Following are some of the scopes of the proposed system :

 

A single application will be sufficient for applying to different colleges/programs. · This system reduces considerable amount of paper work in the manual admission procedure. · Can be used to maintain admission details which can be referenced by students in later years. · It overcomes all the human biases in the admission process. The system provides security through password authentication and use of secured Database.
