DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ONLINE STUDENT ADMISSION AND DOCUMENT VERIFICATION SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
Forgery has long crept into
our educational system
and, counterfeit and forged
admission status /
certificate and document
have upper hand in various certificate and degrees awarding institution. Invalid studentship has become greater than
valid studentship. The need for student admission verification system has become necessary to check mate and
expunge invalid studentship, invalid document and invalid certificate yielding to authenticity of certificate and
documents. This research work Designed and Implemented Student Verification System for University of Uyo. The
proposed model is concerned with monitoring the studentship of students, keeping students basic academic record,
tracking students if there is malpractice of any kind and, verifying every certificate of University of Uyo in the future
and making sure fake admission is reduced drastically.
The system was designed and implemented with PHP, MYSQL, HTML, AJAX, and JAVASCRIPT Technologies.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
A system, with numerous definitions can be literally seen in a computer way as a collection of the hardware and
software components of a computer. According to Stella C. Chiemeke and Franca A. Egbokdara (2006), a system is
set of components that interact to achieve a common goal. In another sense, a system is a group of interrelated or
intersecting elements forming a unified whole. A verification system as in this project is an application program used
to verify that someone or something rightly and legally belongs to a collection, an organization or an individual. There
are different verification system, notably address verification system, adult verification system and card verification
system to mention but a few. Student verification system is used to know whether or not a student is or was a legal
and rightly registered student. In this context, it is used to verify that a student belongs/belonged to an institution and
to confirm that he/she is properly registered in a particular department running any of the institutions programme. This
student verification system, also known as Uniuyo Admission Student Admission system is an internet based system.It is an electronic and computerized means of verifying someone’s claim of studentship to an institution by means of their matriculation number (Mat No) being input, hence using an output clearly showing the truth or false of his/her claim.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In this modern age, computers have verified the cause of their existence. The advent of computers in our society
caused a lot of criticism on the danger it poses on the society. Critics of computer and new techniques express their
fear on how computers will displace and replace all human skills thus resulting to mass unemployment. The presence
of computer on virtually every field of today’s fast life has proved the critic wrong as the invention of computers and
new technologies continues to create additional jobs for those who identify themselves with computers and new
technologies. This make computes partner to human beings in any fields of human endeavor. Over the past decades,
students identification and verification has been a major problem in large institutions as documents, certificate and
studentship can be forged at a great rate and easy way, using the computer negatively. Forgers fail to know that in
this fast moving world, the computer has equally served as an aid to decision making, verification and authentication.
This is because of computers efficiency in terms of speed, accuracy, reliability, cost and security among others. In
recent years, awareness has existed and created in people as it concerned the use of computer in verifying,
authenticating and security activities either through web-based (internet) or window-based. Decision support system
and others system like management information system and information system are used in organization. Decisions
are largely based on experience and principle. The value of every degree is the reputation of the institution and the
students produced, hence, the greatest obstacle to any academic institution which is dishonesty and forgery has to be
balanced with verification and authentication systems and processes. “In recent times, effort are being made to build
intelligence into computer system, whereby the computer can be used to process large volume of structural and unstructured information for decision making”. Said Uzoka, 1998.
