ABSTRACT
The project entitled Online Examination System is developed
using the programming language C++.
The project aims at simplifying a teachers job of creating and
checking the results of the students. The teacher can manage the examinations
details present for the students. The teacher can set the Questions with five
choices and the questions will be displayed to the students at the time of
examination. The number of correct answers is displayed at the last. It also
helps students to access tests easily and get immediate test reports.

INTRODUCTION

This project entitled Online Examination System is developed

using the programming language C++.
Computers have made students preparation for exams as well as
a teachers job of analyzing the performance of students. This online
examination system provides a common platform for teachers and students.
The program proceeds as follows: An Introduction Screen is shown with the title proceeding which the
program requests for user type : Teacher
Student
If user is a teacher, the following functions are available : Want to add question
Read question
Make new exam
Update existing Teacher ID
Create new Teacher ID
If user is a student, a test page is directly displayed on screen. The user is
expected to answer the given questions. After the completion of the test, a
page displaying the result appears on screen

CONCLUSION

Computer science investigatory projectPage 23

The online examination system has many advantages of which some are :

Eco Friendly
Efficient
Quick results
Reduces manual labour
Security

The Online Examination System has opened a large number of oppurtunities

for students and teachers alike. With the advent of net cafes, students from
rural areas are able to take advantage of this system. It has changed the way
students prepare for competetive exams
