2. General Description

It describes the general factors that affect the product and its requirements. This section does not state specific requirements. Instead it provides a background for those requirements, which are defined in section 3, and makes them easier to understand.

2.1 Product Perspective

Examination and Answer sheet evaluation is an essential concern of every educational organization. The ‘Online Examination Management System’ allows the universities to manage online and offline examinations, answer sheet evaluations, get evaluators subject preferences, allot and inform evaluators to evaluate the answer papers of the students, publishing the results with much less time . The students of a university can be recognized from their registration number. ‘Online Examination Management System’ is a web based application.

2.2 Product Functions

The objective is to build a software system that is user friendly and accurately generates and stores data that assists examination and answer paper evaluation. The software system should be convenient for evaluators. The aim of proposed system is to develop a system with improved facilities. The proposed system allows the university to choose offline/online exams for particular courses. For the online examinations, students can login to the system using login ID and password at the time of examination. The answer scripts of each student will be stored in the database. In the case of offline exams, store scanned versions of answer sheets will be stored in the database. Information such as university register number, question paper, and the answer key are also stored on the database. The answer sheets are encrypted using md5 encryption technique to prevent unauthorized access. Therefore an intruder will see the encrypted answer sheets as a meaningless data. Also the register numbers of the answer sheets and answer scripts are encrypted so that the identity of the student is not revealed to the evaluator. It displays error messages if an answer has not been unevaluated or more marks are given in the mark sheet than prescribed. The evaluator checks the answer scripts or answer sheet by comparing it with the answer key. The system generates a mark sheet by tabulating the marks given by the evaluator in the answer scripts of the semester examination and the marks allotted to the student in the internal assessment. However, the marks of the internals are not visible to the evaluator as it may prejudice him while he evaluates the semester answer scripts. Chief examiner can do a random evaluation of answer sheets.The chief examiner finalizes the marks for each paper. He also can check who evaluated the paper and ask for explanation if required or assign another teacher for revaluation. Since the answer scripts are protected from downloading and editing the documents, nobody can tamper with them. It can help in announcing results much earlier as the manual effort is reduced. 

2.3 User Characteristics

The users of the system are:

· Administrator

The administrator is assumed to be have good data management skills and have access to all the data within the system. Administrator can add users.

· Faculty

Faculty can contribute to the question bank by selecting a question pattern.

· Exam Controller

Exam Controller will have access to all examination data fields, but will have limited access to user and privilege data information.

· Evaluators/Teachers
