INTRODUCTION Student Marks Information System (SMIS) is a application software designed to introduce a conductive and structured information exchange environment for integrating students, parents, teachers and the administration of a school or college. These software systems enable educational institutions to supervise student- related activities such as keeping records of tests or examinations conducted, attendance, details of marks scored, particulars of everyday school attendance

SCOPE Student’s complete marks and attendance details are entered in this system by the administrator. The student registration should contain the information (like semester marks, attendance details etc). This is saved in the database. SMIS can be useful in many areas like Universities, colleges, institutions. Private and government sector industries .

EXISTING SYSTEM Existing system includes paper works made by human so the time taken to maintain all these details are very long and also tedious to implement. There are more number of ways are there to know a students mark in the modern world. Few of them are getting a newspaper result, website related marks/results and going to the college directly or making a phone call to the institute.

Limitations of EXISTING SYSTEM NEWSPAPER The system is not an online system. RESULTS ON WEBSITES COLLEGE VISIT CALL TO INSTITUTE

PROPOSED SYSTEM The proposed system is based on mobile phone.(This project is supported by a range of Nokia phones start from 5110 to latest models.) Here you have to type your exam register number and then send short message service (SMS) to the institute number, that institute number must be connected to a system through a data cable.

ADVANTAGES OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM No mistakes are done regarding students marks and attendance details Availability of information from a single source Without any time delay the student’s marks and attendance details are send through the SMS to the mobile. Monitoring student-related activities. The proposed system overcomes the drawbacks (like college visit or calling the institute person to know their results) of the existing system.

FEASIBILITY STUDY

Types of FEASIBILITY Economical Feasibility Operational Feasibility Technical Feasibility

ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY Economic Feasibility means the cost of understanding project and it should less cost than the existing system. Economic analysis is the most frequently used method for evaluating the effectiveness of a new system. More commonly known as cost/benefit analysis, the procedure is to determine the benefits and savings that are expected from a candidate system and compare them with costs.

If benefits outweigh costs, then the decision is made to design and implement the system. An entrepreneur must accurately weigh the cost versus benefits before taking an action. Cost Based Study: It is of 2 types 1. Development costs 2. Operating costs. Time Based Study: This is an analysis of the time required to achieve a return on investments.

OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY Operational feasibility is a measure of how well a proposed system solves the problems. Operational Feasibility means users should support the project. It identified opportunities during scope definition and how it satisfies the requirements identified in the requirements analysis phase of system development.

TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY Project feasibility focuses on project management and overall coordination. When evaluating proposals, the following project feasibility items should be considered and evaluated. System Performance System Interfaces Development Processes Risk Assessment Security Failure Immunity

An SMS gateway can also serve as an international gateway for users with roaming capability.

EXECUTION STUDENT MARKS STUDENT ATTENDENCE

CONCLUSION This system as explained in the entire presentation has the most reliable database as on now and user-friendly interfaces with useful tool tips provided for the convenience of the user whenever they are required .

FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS By providing additional functionality like student-staff interaction. We can enhance it by making the same project to work on Internet.
