ABSTRACT

In Nigerian higher institutions, student’s performance is primarily assessed through end of semester examinations. Currently, Anambra State Polytechnic (ANSPOLY), Mgbakwu students result and transcripts are generated on a spreadsheet application, from the submitted hardcopies of the results from various departments; students accessed their result through a printed copy displayed on the notice board. With the rate of admissions into various departments in ANSPOLY, the existing manpower struggles to effectively manage the increased workload, making the process tedious, capital intensive, time consuming, and prone to error. ANSPOLY Automated Result Management System, which through an online result uploads, automatically compute students’ result, generate Transcript and allow students to view result online, was introduced to enhance the process. This will eradicate time, energy, material and space consumption and improve standard and result integrity. The study is based on qualitative analysis with Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM). The software will be developed using VB.net to implement the front end, PHP, Hypertext Marked up language (HTML), Java Script and CSS will be used for the backend while MySqli (My Structural Query Language Improved) as the relational database. WAMP (Window Apache MySql and PHP) server used for local hosting and testing. The software when tested, accurately compute Student’s Grade Point Average (GPA), Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), automatically generate Transcripts, and grant Students access to their results online.
