CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.0.   BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Student admissions are playing very important role in major activities of any Institution as the basic requirement of the university and without students, institutions cannot survive. An inefficient admission application system may reduce the number of admitted student in the esteemed institution because of its human intervention and naturally, human are prone to error.
The focus of this project work is to develop an automated admission system that shall bring about this paradigm shift, in other to proffer solution to the challenges inherent in the existing system implemented by Lagos state polytechnic. The proposed system: Automated admission processing System shall be developed using HTML, CSS and PHP as the font end, and MY SQL database management system as the back end.Desile,M. (2009)
- STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Student admission processing as being done presently by Lagos state polytechnic is still similar to manual processing despite that students completes their application form online. The existing system has the following drawbacks.
- Slow operation due to human intervention.
- Delayed information retrieval as a result of heavy web-contents.
- Prone to error due to little data validation.
- Unfriendly or difficult to use interface.
- High cost of operation.
- Application still ends up looking more like a manual process because there is no feature that supports decision in the current information system.
- PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
This project is aimed at providing an automated online admission processing system that will helpincrease speed of processing student admission and help reduce or eliminate work by automating the admission process to the most convenient.
- AIMS OF THE STUDY
The aim of this research work is to critically assess the collection and processing of student admission form process in order to identify issues encountered in the system, so as to design a new system that will help reduce or completely eradicate the identified problems.
- OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The objectives of this research work are stated below:
- Study the existing system in order to get a full understanding of it.
- Identify problems of the existing system.
- Alleviate problems with the application process and record keeping.
- Enhance the institution document management system.
- Make the system easier to use for even students with less computer knowledge
- Provide easy retrieval of student’s data.
- Make the web contents lighter to enhance retrieval speed even on slow internet.
- SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of this study is centered on designing an automated web-based application software for student admission processing. The system is strictly based on student’s application processing, record keeping and information retrieval in Lagos State Polytechnic. It will also be capable of shortlisting admissible students and will make them available for a final administrator approval before they are offered a provisional admission.
1.6.   SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The automated admission processing system will help reduce some of the laborious work involve in student admission processing, maximized returns for the institution, provide a friendly user interface to users.
