ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The satisfaction that accompanies that the successful completion of any task
would be incomplete without the mention of people whose ceaseless cooperation
made it possible, whose constant guidance and encouragement crown all efforts
with success.
My extreme gratitude to Mr. Dipendra Singh Airee who guided me throughout
the project. Without his willing disposition, spirit of accommodation, frankness
and timely clarification, this project could not have been completed in due time.
His readiness to discuss all important matters at work deserves special attention.

INTRODUCTION
Online Examinations are being launched because a need for a destination that is
beneficial for both institutes and students. With this project, institutes can register
and host online exams. Students can give exams and view their results. This
project is an attempt to remove the existing flaws in the manual system of
conducting exams.
Purpose:
Online Exams System fulfils the requirements of the institutes to conduct the
exams online. They do not have to go to any software developer to make a
separate site for being able to conduct exams online. They just have to register on
the site and enter the exam details and the lists of the students which can appear
in the exam.
Students can give exam without the need of going to any physical destination.
They can view the result at the same time.
Thus the purpose of the site is to provide a system that saves the efforts and time
of both the institutes and the students.
Project Overview:
Online Exams System is a web application that establishes a network
between the institutes and the students. Institutes enter on the site the questions
they want in the exam. These questions are displayed as a test to the eligible
students. The answers enter by the students are then evaluated and their score is
calculated and saved. This score then can be accessed by the institutes to
determine the passes students or to evaluate their performance.
Online Exams System provides the platform but does not directly
participate in, nor is it involved in any tests conducted. Questions are posted not
by the site, but users of the site. The site requires an institute to register before
posting the questions. The site has an administrator who keeps an eye on the
overall functioning of the system. The site gets revenue by charging the institutes
each time they want to conduct the exam. The system entitled “Online Exams
System” is application software, which aims at providing
4
services to the institutes and providing them with an option of
selecting the eligible students by themselves. It is developed by using
J2EE technology and related database.
5
Facility to update the data time to time
Adequate security of the database
Providing protection to data, through password.
Efficient retrieval of information.
The goal of requirement analysis is to find out how the current system is working
and if there are any areas where improvement is necessary and possible. This may
result in using alternative ways to data capturing and processing.
Interface Requirements:
1. User Interface
The package must be user friendly and robust. It must prompt the user with proper
message boxes to help them perform various actions and how to precede further
the system must respond normally under any in out conditions and display proper
message instead of turning up faults and errors.

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE MODEL (SDLC MODEL):
This is also known as Classic Life Cycle Model (or) Linear Sequential Model (or)
Waterfall Method. This has the following activities.
4. Code Generation
5. Testing
6. Maintenance

gathering process is intensified and focused specially on software. To understand
the nature of the program(s) to be built, the system engineer ("analyst") must
understand the information domain for the software, as well as required function,
behavior, performance and interfacing. The essential purpose of this phase is to
find the need and to define the problem that needs to be solved.
Code generation:
The design must be translated into a machine-readable form. The code generation
step performs this task. If the design is performed in a detailed manner, code
generation can be accomplished without much complication. Programming tools
like Compilers, Interpreters, and Debuggers are used to generate the code.
Different high level programming languages like C, C++, Pascal, and Java are
used for coding. With respect to the type of application, the right programming
language is chosen.
Testing
Once the code is generated, the software program testing begins. Different testing
methodologies are available to unravel the bugs that were committed during the
previous phases. Different testing tools and methodologies are already available.
Some companies build their own testing tools that are tailor made for their own
development operations.

Background of The Project:
1. Setting up a Database
Suppose that our sample database is being used by the proprietor of a small
coffee house called The Coffee Break, where coffee beans are sold by the pound
and brewed coffee is sold by the cup. To keep things simple, also suppose that
the proprietor needs only two tables, one for types of coffee and one for coffee
suppliers.
First we will show you how to open a connection with your DBMS, and
then, since what JDBC does is to send your SQL code to your DBMS, we will
demonstrate some SQL code. After that, we will show you how easy it is to use
JDBC to pass these SQL statements to your DBMS and process the results that
are returned.
This code has been tested on most of the major DBMS products. However,
you may encounter some compatibility problems using it with older ODBC
drivers with the JDBC-ODBC Bridge.
10
2. Establishing a Connection
The first thing you need to do is establish a connection with the DBMS you want
to use. This involves two steps: (1) loading the driver and (2) making the
connection.
(a)Loading Drivers
Loading the driver or drivers you want to use is very simple and involves just one
line of code. If, for example, you want to use the JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver, the
following code will load it:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Your driver documentation will give you the class name to use. For instance, if
the class name is jdbc.DriverXYZ , you would load the driver with the following
line of code:
Class.forName("jdbc.DriverXYZ");
You do not need to create an instance of a driver and register it with the
DriverManager because calling Class.forName will do that for you automatically.
If you were to create your own instance, you would be creating an unnecessary
duplicate, but it would do no harm.
When you have loaded a driver, it is available for making a connection with a
DBMS.
This step is also simple, with the hardest thing being what to supply for url
. If you are using the JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver, the JDBC URL will start with
jdbc:odbc: . The rest of the URL is generally your data source name or database
system. So, if you are using ODBC to access an ODBC data source called " Fred,
" for example, your JDBC URL could be jdbc:odbc:Fred . In place of " myLogin
" you put the name you use to log in to the DBMS; in place of " myPassword "
11
you put your password for the DBMS. So if you log in to your DBMS with a
login name of " Fernanda " and a password of " J8, " just these two lines of code
will establish a connection:
If one of the drivers you loaded recognizes the JDBC URL supplied to the
method DriverManager.getConnection, that driver will establish a connection to
the DBMS specified in the JDBC URL. The DriverManager class, true to its
name, manages all of the details of establishing the connection for you behind the
scenes. Unless you are writing a driver, you will probably never use any of the
methods in the interface Driver , and the only DriverManager method you really
need to know is DriverManager.getConnection .
A Statement object is what sends your SQL statement to the DBMS. You
simply create a Statement object and then execute it, supplying the appropriate
execute method with the SQL statement you want to send. For a SELECT
statement, the method to use is executeQuery . For statements that create or
modify tables, the method to use is executeUpdate .
12
At this point stmt exists, but it does not have an SQL statement to pass on
to the DBMS. We need to supply that to the method we use to execute stmt. For
example, in the following code fragment, we supply executeUpdate with the SQL
statement from the example above:
Since we made a string out of the SQL statement and assigned it to the variable
createTableCoffees , we could have written the code in this alternate form:
stmt.executeUpdate(createTableCoffees);
4. Executing Statements
Methodologies Used:
A. Programming Language(JAVA)
B. Database(Back-End)
13
Programming Language(JAVA):
JAVA is the most widely used object-oriented
language today. It is faster and more powerful than Java, another popular object-
oriented language, which lacks certain features such as pointers and multiple
inheritance.
Some important concepts of the object-oriented programming
language are as follows:
• Objects
• Classes
• Data abstraction and encapsulation
• Inheritance
• Polymorphism
• Dynamic binding
• Message passing
JDBC :
JDBC is a Java-based data access technology (Java Standard Edition
platform) from Sun Microsystems. It is an acronym as it is unofficially referred
to as Java Database Connectivity, with DB being universally recognized as the
abbreviation for database. This technology is an API for the Java programming
language that defines how a client may access a database. It provides methods for
querying and updating data in a database.

Result and Conclusions
The Online Examination is a great improvement over the manual system using
case fields and paper. The computerization of the system has sped up the process.
In the current system, the front office managing is very slow. The Online
Examination System was thoroughly checked and tested with dummy data and
thus is found to be very reliable.
This project that I undertook was truly a very rewarding experience for me
in more than one way. It has given a big thrust to my technical knowledge as
prospective Software professional. It has also helped me enhance my skills on the
personal front.
And I feel extremely satisfied by the fact that I have managed to develop
the project of course with equal contribution from my team members. I think I
have exploited the opportunity that came my way to the fullest extent by
increasing my technical know-how and also gaining the valuable work experience
apart from studying the other subjects in our curriculum.
