DESIGN AND IMPLEMANTATION OF ONLINE JAMB EXAMNATION PROCESSING SYSTEM A CASE STUDY JAMB, LAGOS

ABSTRACT

Computer are known for their wide range of uses especially in scientific and mathematical field. However, title or no thought has been given to designing a complete and true intelligence test on a computer system in our immediate environment. Although in advanced countries where computerized games have been developed computers have proved that they constitute ways of indirectly testing intelligence

This system is designed in order to implement and intelligence test on a computer system, it tries as much as possible to incorporate the important aspect of intelligence on a wide scale. It is designed to test intelligence of secondary school learners using the Jamb matriculation Examination (JME) as standardized sample and as such the psychological implication of such a design is very important.

The design of the system is quite and easily understood. It’s flexibility makes it amendable for future changes and amendment to either incorporate other aspects of intelligence or to be designed for any other school age or class.

The question of the intelligence test are programmed and visually displayed in the system’s screen in an interaction form. The pupil answer the question on the computer system. the results obtained from the test give an estimation on user’s (pupil) intelligence quotient (I.Q). this is equally displayed and tells the pupil in the what category he/she falls within. The result of the test is also displayed at the end of the test which goes a long way lessen the fear of the pupil that they were marked down in the examination.

The JME coordinators were really finding it very hard based on the type of processing procedures that they are using. The manual process entails a lot of complex mistake, Errors, even missing of scripts. Many at times someone that sat for the Examination si been given the result of science subject while he / she sit for arts or management subject.

There have been a situation whereby someone that did not sit for the Examination after processing the forms, got sick and was admitted. When JME result for that year came out, they sent a result for the exam he did not sit for.

It takes time to process the results through the manual process. If the new system is implement, there will efficient, no complex mistakes, No errors and also the time factors will be shortened compared to the present system of JME processing strategy.

1.0     INTRODUCTION

          In the past, ability test were used in admitting pupil into the university level, for instance, the scholastic aptitude test, which measures both aptitude and achievement, (the aptitude test measures accomplished skills and indicate what a person can do at present, while the achievement test predicts what a person can accomplished with training.)

But the essential requirement for any test include reliability, validity and uniform testing procedures. The test which measures intelligence ability are often called “ intelligence test” intelligence test are usually designed to access the nature and course of mental development, intellectual and non-intellectual personality differences that might be attributed to hereditary among person at different occupational level and among their children. Intellectual and other traits of a typical group such as the mentally gifted, the mentally retarded, the neurotic and the psychotic.

The topic design and implementation of On-line JME Examination processing system (OLJMEPS) is geared towards impacting intelligence on a computer. Whereby Jamb matriculation Examination will be conducted and taken on the computer system itself and the result displayed to user (pupil) immediately after the examination or once it is compiled sequentially.

One may ask this question. Is this realistic? On the face value it might be seen impossible, but with the advent of computer games, computers have proved that they constitute ways of indirectly testing intelligence.

 

1.1     STATEMENT OF PROBLEM.

In the Administration of the JAMB Matriculation Examination (JME), the exam comes as objective and the answer expected to be shaded on the same question paper and marked by the examiners. The scoring and grading of results and posting of pupils to various higher institutions subsequently has been be divided by various human related factors such as favoritism, graft, bribery and corruption as well as late posting owing to volume of work fatigue and negligence of duty.

Natural human errors also occur usually

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Lottery system is a very wide field of study and can be classified in so many ways such as the U.S.A. lottery system, Kenlucky lottery system, India lottery system, and German lottery system e.t.c. But the study will be limited to the VISA LOTTERY, which is associated with the United States and the most commonest.

WHAT IS THE VISA LOTTERY?
The diversity visa lottery issues 55,000 visas each year by lottery, to nationals of countries considered under represented in the immigrant flow.
Until 1965, our immigration system favoured immigrants who reflected the ethnic characteristics of our society. Heightened concerns about racism brought about by the system civil rights movement led to the scrapping of the system. Ironically, the current visa lottery system is a throwback to the earlier race-conscious system. It structures the immigrant admission system to discriminate among immigrant seeing countries in order to increase the number of immigrants from “underrepresented” countries.
The first visa lottery provision who adopted in 1986, with a set-aside of 10,000 “special visas” for immigrants from countries “adversely affected” by the 1965 immigration act. Over three-fifths of the 10,000 visas went to immigrants from Ireland, Canada and the United Kingdom. They were adversely affected by the 1965 Act only in that residents from those countries first experienced a ceiling that had not affected them previously.
In 1990, a new permanent lottery of 55,000 visas per year was enacted, and a transitional system of 40,000 visas per year (1992 to 1994) was specified of the 108,455 transitional lottery winners who entered the united states through fiscal year 1994, 84% were from Ireland, Northern Ireland, Poland or Canada. Natives of these countries had not been suffering from any discrimination in our past administration of our immigration policy.

1995 marked the beginning of the permanent “diversity” lottery for 55,000 visa per year. Unlike the transitional system, it is supposed to discriminate against countries that have large flows of immigrants already like Mexico and the Philippines. The Act was clearly worded, however, so that the lottery would remain open to the Irish. That is one of the major faults with the lottery system. Because it is “designer immigration” it invites tinkering for or against nationals of a given foreign country.

LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENTS
In November 1994, by executive agreement, president Clinton accepted to set-up a one-country immigrant visa lottery for Cubans. In November 1997, congress adopted an amnesty for Nicaraguans and Cubans and special screening provisions for other Central Americans who has come illegally to the United States during the revolutionary fighting in their homelands. To offset this adjustment process, the ceiling of 55,000 on lottery immigrants who lowered to until the amnesty process was completed.

1.2 THE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
As a limelight, this project aims at going a long way to creating a conducive atmosphere

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The ultimate aim of manufacturers is to produce goods they can sell to users immediately at a profit. An interaction between the producer and the consumer tales place. This interaction is initiated, developed, and managed by producer’s marketing staff. The business function of marketing is concerned with the planning, promotion, and sale of existing products in the existing markets and development of new products and new markets to better serve present and potential customers.
Today marketing performs a vital function in the operation of a business enterprises i.e. (as the primary interface between the manufacturer and the customer). Performing the marketing function in business has become a much difficult assignment because of the dynamic environment of today’s activities which includes:
– Rapidly changing market demands
– Steadily increasing consumers pressure
– Proliferation of new products
– Intensified competition
– Growing government regulations.
Business firms have increasingly turned to the computer to help them perform the vital marketing functions in the face of the rapid changes of today’s environment. Computer, therefore, because of its speed, memory capacity, versatility and accuracy, has been the catalyst in the development of marketing information system, which integrate the information flow required by the many marketing activities. Computer is also used to make business decision involving millions of naira and so saves man from a tremendous amount of time consuming work.
Today computer is used as a control system for controlling marketing costs, diagnosis of poor sales performance. Nevertheless, computer is also used as research system for advertising strategy, pricing strategy and evaluation of advertising expenditure and continuous experiment.
This project work, computer based marketing information system is taken to critically analyse and fashion out ways of implementing computer in Guinness (Nig) Plc.
In this chapter, the researcher established the aim, limitation and purpose of the study, scope, statement of the problems, assumption and definition of terms.

1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The Guinness (Nig) Plc produces and markets over four different brands of alcoholic drinks. These products are sent to the various stored and other branches or deport with the country. The large volume of stock coupled with the vast distribution not work creates some control and management problems.
The operation of the Enugu deport presently is completely manual and lacks some degree of information retrieval facilities. So, obtaining, storing and updating information on each of the items is not an easy task. It takes hours and

ABSTRACT

This project work, is a computerization of cash receipt system of an organization. It entails maintaining database files of different sources of receipt whose scope and limitation are based on.

Sales and purchases Receipts/Invoices inquiry on Total Balance and generation of report.

But before we venture into that, attention should be drawn to the introductory part, the literature review and later the analysis of the existing system and the design of the new system.

Since, there is constrain in time, this project will not go on exhaustive treatment of every expected module, rather will represent only sales and purchases receipt modules with two other operational modules subset of the broad menu.

Nevertheless, there is provision for onward development of those expected modules and for other sources of receipts and other operations to suit any organization.

It is not the intention here to treat each module separately hence the entire project is menu driven to cover some of the facilities present.

Lastly, it is an optimistic fact that after going through the text, one would be able to

1. Know what is achieved
2. Having a clear knowledge of the project organization in relation to other sources and problems.

CHAPTER ONE

 

1.0     INTRODUCTION

          Cash receipt generating system is a viable source in any business organization and ventures and so on, its main purpose is to maintain a more reliable records of money coming into the organization firm and money going out from the firm. This is look upon the view that the business organization must have that exchange market with each other. It is a sore fact that the most have been a contract of which, there is an obligatory task that stands the terms of agreement it could be a payment to their client or partners or from their client who pays into their own account. Another thing matters weather it will be cash without remark balance or install mental and how many installment it is going to be.

This is clearly stated in the organization activities and manner of operation. When ever there is payment, there is also the issuing of receipts this is centered on the writing of what each party has in stock.

 

 

1.1     JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT

          For there to be a computerized business operation, the business most be look upon in new way of existence. No only being concerned with customers, prices output and so forth one should also consider the fact that data forms, information flows, procedures etc. it is momentous on the basic fact that computers are used as a coexisting element to information systems. This application is effective and productive because it enhances to process a more better information system (Automated)

On this work, we shall basically lok upon the possibility of making the outline orderly model of designing effect changes. The process of changing system is systematic such that it is a repetitive process. It is a fact to say that every system has what is called life cycle especially information system. By reviewing and modifying them, we say. It is a system development cycle. The routine is always cyclical. It is on the system development that the familiar input processing output feedback pattern of all systems. The system development contains the output which consist of various organization information systems. The feedback components helps evaluate the effectiveness of the system in terms of changing requirements.

 

IN THE PROCESSING COMPONENTS WE HAVE THREE PARTS

System Analysis

System Design

System Implementation.

None of these parts can be considered apart from the other two. To be courtesy, I would say that the activities involved in system development is interlinked set.

 

1.2     DEFINITION OF PURPOSE

          The rate of accepting different sources of receipt by the topic of term paper into an organization keeping track of the files can at any time operates the organizations and clients financial report.

 

1.3     STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Cash Receipt system of Rorban Stores LTD is to keep records of all receipts of purchases and sales made.

By so doing, they keep information concerning each transaction such as the name of client, address, data of transaction, description of goods. Quantity of goods, model number of the goods, the amount of the goods.

Inside this record the company can then know the financial reports of both the clients and the organization itself.

 

1.4     SCOPE (DELIMITATION) OF THE PROJECT

          This term paper is basically restricted to Rorban Stores LTD, as a case study for the term paper. Looking Rorban Stores, the cash receipt systems is restricted only to the

1. Purchase receipt and or invoices
2. Sales receipts and or invoices

Other organization may run a different receipt system. At this term paper we shall base only on sales and purchases.

 

SCOPE OF PURCHASES

ABSTRACT

This project work is concerned with the use of the internet in banking operations, a case study of Union Bank of Nigeria PLC, Enugu. The internet in its ever evolving state, is becoming a serious method of business communication and data transfer world wide.  As such banks and other financial institutions are beginning to use the internet as new vehicle for doing business. The internet allows banks to offer both new services and level of convenience for existing services and allowing the consumers and customer to internet from any computer capable of making appropriate connections. The technological developments have made most banks and other financial institutions to be more responsive to change and it is imperative to adopt the latest technology in order to maintain operational efficiency as a means of warding off competitive threat, to increase speed of transaction, improvement of customers convenience by reducing barriers to entry into payment systems and retail banking.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

The greatest innovation that has taken place in the twentieth century is in the realm of information Technology.  This is currently made possible by the introduction of the digital computers.  Which has been observed in the field of communication to be increasingly inseparable from communications.  This linkages often referred to as convergence is driven by Technology and amplified by business trends the technology and business.  Faster growth in network systems that use communication links to connect subsidiary system (nodes) which may send, receives, direct and redirect information to , fro, send and receiver.

Taking of the internet a couple of years ago would have sound like a fairytale but today the internet is pervasive in almost every field of human endeavour changing the fundamentals of how we conduct national as well as international businesses.  Few years of its existence, the internet has shown that it can deliver the long sought after goal of electronic commerce.

It is worth that companies in the developed countries world-wide have recognized the business potential of the internet and are getting connected to the network of networks in their millions.

The financial institution (Bank) is one of such organizations. Banking constitutes one of the most prominent life wire for Socio-Economic grow and development in any given nation, it support and assists in the supply of long and short term loan, accepts both current sowings and fixed deposits, both foreign transactions, advice and facilitates transactions between client, workers, agents, firm, buyers and seller by providing payment services, not excluding the issue of undertaking risk on behalf of their clients, only to mention but a few.

The internet having found its application and acceptance in the banking procession has particularly put the banking industry on an accelerating pace of development.  The technological highway (the internet) has become an enabler for Banks in achieving high level productivity and in handing volumes of transaction which would have been impossible without the use of on-line banking (E-commerce).

The technology facilitate linkages with clients both through the provision of information and quality service delivery, as well as in reducing barriers to entry into payment systems retail banking.  Internet banking allows clients to engage in informal transaction relationship which would have taken long distance travels or movement of documents with the attendant risk of loss.  With the online banking (internet) you can at your convenience, at home and at any time review account balances and transactions, transfer funds, receive and pay bills, down-load transaction services and contact customer services just to mention but a few.

An over view of the benefits and prospects of the on-line banking suggest that for banks to be relevant to their customers in term of the services they provide in the twenty-five century and in the future, must append this services provided by E-commerce in the banking system in order to stay in competition.  Now the on-line banking is the one thing bank should get up and invest in internet technology to reap bounteously the benefit accruing from internet banking.

 

 

1.1     STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

The advances in the world of information technology it is almost recorded on a daily basis.  Consequently, rendering former communication equipment obsolete as people tilt towards the use of improved electronics that support E-commerce made possible through the use of the internet in the banking sector.

Although a significant improvement has been recorded in the use and deployment technology in the banking industry over the last decades, most banks are still for form implementing technology based strategies able to see them through competition in banking markets.  This may be as a result of lack of awareness, the inability to evaluate the benefit derived from the use of the recent technological development (internet) and capital shortage that may hamper the design and subsequent implementation of the technological tool hence denying customers of this advance services and their flexibility, choice and convenience associated with the internet banking.

The advantages offered by these toll calls for a review of an existing automated system and subsequent design and implementation of interactive web-site that facilitates the use of the internet to be appended or designed to improve the existing system.

 

1.2            PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

• To investigate the lacks of the current automated system in terms of modern technology appliances that support internet banking services and suggest ways of up dating them.
• To improve in the speed, effectiveness, efficiency and convenience in business transaction.
• To design and implement a computer software to solve this problem and rendering the services.
• To design a friendly web-site that graphically advertise goods and services provided by the institute on web pages.
• To carry out a feasibility study on the organization for the purpose of installing an on-line banking.

1.3            AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The aims and objectives of this work is that when the system become operational it will

• Increase the operational efficiency and accuracy.
• Generate consistent, Accurate, timely and pieliable reports or information for effective control in internet banking.
• Provide the use of account ID and password for the customer.
• Improve in current automated system that support internet banking service.
• Permit the use of card pin and other relevant data for E-commerce validation.
• Permit on-line time data storage and information retrieval

1.4            SCOPE OF THE STUDY
