Computerized Students Admission System.

Abstract of Computerized Students Admission System.

The design and implementation of computerized students admission system is aimed at realizing an efficient and accurate computation of students’ results. It will save the school the embarrassment caused by students complaints at the end of working day. These complaints arise from the problems discovered in the manual system which not only include inefficiency, inaccuracy, time consumption and inconveniency but laborious and sluggish. These problems occasioned the computerization of the manual system as I have done in order to solve these problems associated with it. In this regards therefore, the researcher as one of the basic tools and features introduced to enhance admission processing, designed a problems solving algorithm using Visual Basic 6.0 Software Program. This work aims at alleviating the incidences of academic admission lapses which is the bases of socio-economic progress in the history of Alvan.

INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW OF THE STUDY

The main aim of the study is to enable us achieve a successful and hitch free admission process that is timely. Computer is applicable is all human life endeavors. In the beginning, the study of academic admission of students was not simple, but today, softwares have been designed which when applied appropriately to the problems in academic admission makes it easy.

Computers are making in roads into nearly every aspect of life. In the decades since the inception of digital computers, the in electronic machines have flooded the market place, the work environment and the domestic science. The work technology before now affects the admission of students because of its slowness the measures and significances of computer and why we must computerize. The academic admission of students in Alvan Ikoku federal College of education Owerri.

The purpose of the registration process is to determine which students will be taking courses within the school and for the administration to keep its records up-to-data thus bringing the electronic registration and admission system which has a very high availability and consistency requirement.. The high availability thus implies that the computerized admission system must be able to tolerate a reasonable number of machines and network related failures, and the consistency requirement implies that the integrity of stored data (students records) must be maintained in the presence of concurrent access from users and the type of failures just mentioned.

This work also analysis the present method of manual working in the admission control of Alvan and realizing the importance which computers have achieved in every field including educational field, the study the presents a computerized system of admission control. T discusses the salient features of this system and the advantages that the system has over the manual working.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The institution known today as Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education, Owerri has a humble and progressive beginning. What is today named Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education, Owerri (ATTC) established in 1963. This training college emerged indirectly as a result of the – Ashby commission and directly as a step taken towards meeting the nationhood Nigeria was attaining at that time in anticipation of the emerging manpower needs of the country. It is on record that in 1959, then the federal minister of education appointed a commission on post school certificate and higher education. This commission was the Ashby’s commission. The commission was charged with the responsibility “to conduct an investigation into the Nigeria’s needs in the field of post school certificate and higher education over the next twenty years”.

Ukeje (1988) chronicled it that ATTC, Owerri was formerly opened on 10thSeptember, 1963, with a student population of 150 and 14 members of staff. Records have it that one A. J. Broaks was appointed the first substantive principal of the College seven days after the college opened formally and this was under UNESCO sponsorship. At the outbreak of the Nigeria Civil War in 1967, Mr. J.O. Nwachukwu, a counterpart principal under UNESCO management became the substantive principal. The headship of AT.T.C Owerri changed in 1970 when the civil war ended Mr. J.O. Munonye became the third principal of the college in 1970, when the Civil was ended, then the Government of the East Central State of Nigeria, though the Public Education Edict of 1970 took over the ownership and management of all educational institutions in the state including A.T.T.C Owerri. In consonance with the state ownership of the college, the name of the college was changed from advanced Teachers Training College, Owerri to Alvan Ikoku College of Education, Owerri the college was given this name after one of the outstanding, Educationists of Igboland Mazi Alvan Ikoku, also the founder of Aggrey Memorial Colege, Arochuchukwu.

The college became a federal institution in 2007. The federal ministry of education, Abuja in a letter to the provost of the college, PROF. C.N. Uwazurike, conveyed the federal government takeover of Alvan Ikoku College of Education Owerri in a letter SAF. 36/s.465/vol./0 of 17th July 2007. The college currently has their provost as Assoc. Prof. Barrister H.C. Amadi-Ag.
