ABSTRACT
With the advance in technology in field of computer related
organization, a lot of things are now automated. As a matter of fact,
Information technology has a vital role in the design and implementation of an online
admission and result checking system.
Almost all our Higher Institution has gone into online
admission and result checking system because of the extraordinary benefit resulting
from information technology. Information technology has enabled an online
admission and result checking system to project work successfully.
With this online admission and result checking system,
students’ data/information are well collected, processed and stored for the
management purpose.
ORGANIZATION
OF PROJECT WORK
This project
work is primarily designed to give an insight to Online admission and result
checking system System.
Chapter one
talks about introduction to online admission and result checking system System,
study of problem and objectives as well as definition of the scope.
Chapter two
comprises the literature review. Chapter three gives the detailed information
about the existing (old) system, while chapter four and five deals with the
design and implantation of new system.
Chapter six
document the project work, while chapter seven summaries, conclusion and suggestions were made.

1.1 INTRODUCTORY
CONCEPTS
As most nations of the world are becoming information technology
inclined, Nigeria is not left behind. Even as most organizations and companies
in the foreign countries have implemented information technology in their
films, likewise most of Nigeria’s organizations and companies have also enjoyed
the benefits of information technology.
Even as most foreign
countries like America, China and India are experiencing information technology
boom, Nigeria is yet to come to such level. With the communication satellite
launched recently in our country will explore the hidden treasure of
information technology.
As I consider the design
and implementation of online admission and result checking system, it is
necessary to mention here that information technology have a lot to play in
achieving this. Implementing online admission and result checking system
entails having access to internet, having a website and the place of strong and
reliable database.
All these must be put into
consideration and they are well treated in the subsequent section of this
project work.
1.2 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
PRIOR TO THE establishment of the Institute of Management and Technology,
Enugu, there were two institutions in Enugu – The College of Technology which
offered courses in Engineering and Laboratory Technology, up to the Ordinary
Diploma Level and the Institute of Administration which provided short
in-service Training Courses for Civil Servants of various grades. The college
of Technology was part of the Ministry of Education and was controlled directly
by that Ministry. Similarly, the Institute of Administration was controlled by
the Ministry of Establishments. Both institutions were staffed by Civil
Servants who were posted to the two institutions and could be re-posted to
other departments of ministries according to the needs of the service. They
were not specially recruited as teachers. Thus, the administration and
operation of the institutions closely followed the routine in the Civil
Service. Both institutions were separate and located on different sites.
The college of Technology was part of the Ministry of Education and was

according to the needs of the service. They were not specially recruited as
teachers.
However, the need for a higher institution of learning to upgrade the training in technology and management education has begun to be felt for some time. The academic program of the College of Technology, Enugu, was no longer adequate for the assessed needs of Nigeria at the threshold of industrial take-off. If the industrialization of the country was to be achieved and maintained at a high standard, the technologists, technicians and processionals needed a better and more functional training. It is clear that successful industrial development depends as much on the technologists as on the management skills and expertise available to the country
1.3 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Owing to (i) the difficulties student encounter in manual filling and submission of IMT forms (ii) time wasted in getting information from IMT officers on how to fill the form. (iii) Loss of some submitted forms due to mismanagement of IMT officers and (iv) Long queue the students face in collecting their IMT Receipts, the need arises for the development of online admission and result checking system to alleviate these problems.
