It can be used by educational institutes or colleges to maintain the records of students easily. The creation and management of accurate, up-to-date information regarding a students’ academic career is critically important in the university as well as colleges. Student information system deals with all kind of student details, academic related reports, college details, course details, curriculum, batch details, placement details and other resource related details too. It tracks all the details of a student from the day one to the end of the course which can be used for all reporting purpose, tracking of attendance, progress in the course, completed semesters, years, coming semester year curriculum details, exam details, project or any other assignment details, final exam result and all these will be available through a secure, online interface embedded in the college’s website. It will also have faculty details, batch execution details, students’ details in all aspects, the various academic notifications to the staff and students updated by the college administration. It also facilitate us explore all the activities happening in the college, Different reports and Queries can be generated based on vast options related to students, batch, course, faculty, exams, semesters, certification and even for the entire college.

INTRODUCTION The design and implementation of a comprehensive student information system and user interface is to replace the current paper records [1]. College Staff are able to directly access all aspects of a student’s academic progress through a secure, online interface embedded in the college’s website. The system utilizes user authentication, displaying only information necessary for an individual’s duties. Additionally, each sub-system has authentication allowing authorized users to create or update information in that sub- system. All data is thoroughly reviewed and validated on the server before actual record alteration occurs. In addition to a staff user interface, the system plans for student user interface, allowing users to access information and submit requests online thus reducing processing time. All data is stored securely on SQL servers managed by the college administrator and ensures highest possible level of security. The system features a complex logging system to track all users access and ensure conformity to data access guidelines and is expected to increase the efficiency of the college’s record management thereby decreasing the work hours needed to access and deliver student records to users. Previously, the college relied heavily on paper records for this initiative. While paper records are a traditional way of managing student data there are several drawbacks to this method. First, to convey information to the students it should be displayed on the notice board and the student has to visit the notice board to check that information. It takes a very long time to convey the information to the student. Paper records are difficult to manage and track. The physical exertion required to retrieve, alter, and re-file the paper records are all non-value added activities. This system provides a simple interface for the maintenance of student information. It can be used by educational institutes or colleges to maintain the records of students easily. Achieving this objective is difficult using a manual system as the information is scattered, can be redundant and collecting relevant information may be very time consuming. All these problems are solved using online student information management system. The paper focuses on presenting information in an easy and intelligible manner which provides facilities like online registration and profile creation of student’s thus reducing paper work and automating the record generation process in an educational institution.
