"AN online student guide to university application"
the process of choosing a university /college is assisted by ONE UNIVERSITY via an online search system that enables applicants to perform course searches according to location ,university or course.the problem with this search system is that the the results produced can be large,which do not help the applicant much when choosing a university a course.
main objective of this project is to reasearch,design and build a prototype webbased search system designed from a personalized students perspective,whist maintaining cost and performance afficiency
iam doing this project in java (ting ting have a great day)

help me frds

asili_prasanna,

I am not clear with the disadvantages of the existing system. If you can explain it with an example, it would be better. Not only pointing out of disadvantage is important, what should be the ideal output that will help us is also important. How to achieve that is another aspect. That we will handle while talking about technical design.

I would definitely do my best to help you to design a solution if I know what exactly you are trying to do.

Thanks,
Krishna

asili_prasanna,

I say this to many people if they have any complaints on any of the processes we follow at our work place.

"If you can’t tell me what you’d like to be happening, you don’t have a problem yet. You’re just complaining. A problem only exists if there is a difference between what is actually happening and what you desire to be happening."

Actually this sentence is from the book "The One Minute Manager".

Thanks,
Krishna

This university is a govt funded organisation that has been around many years .proceesses student applications and sends them directly to universities and colleges.presently process of applying to universities and colleges through one university ,involves applicants filling an application form with their details and choice of uni/coll.this service has fee.so its important that right choice of university or course is made which determines the future of u r forthcoming years .online search system that enables applicants to perform course searches according to location ,universities or by course course itself.

[asili prasanna]

the problems with these searches is that the results produced are fairly large which do not help the applicant much when choosing a university or course . Also these searches do not account for realistic factors that prospective students consider when applying for a particular university and course.Consequntly in order to make university and course choice easier ,these results need to be refined to a smaller number of resilts.
other problems with the existing webbased search system implicate performance and cost issues,where the technology and underlying architecture employed by the system may be as efficeint and effective as it could be.

asili_prasanna,

Here the problem is that users get more number of collages from which he has to choose. This is good observation. And you answered my partial question.

Remaining part is, how do you think the list of values can be reduced? What additional considerations should we take while loading that list? Those considerations can be like collage rating, colleges cut-off percentages, students percentages and so on along with the existing filter criteria.

Eg. Some collages may have constraints that they will accept applications from candidates who have more than 65% in their latest eligible degree. In that case, if a candidate with 60% is searching, displaying those collages to which he can't apply doesn't make sense. This can be an additional criteria. But the glitch of this is, we should feed more information into system to capture each college and course cut-offs.

Another theoretical example is, let us take the example of Hyderabad with two universities (JNTU and OU). If a candidate from B.Sc Mathematics wants to join a M.Sc Statistics which both universities offer (just for example), then logically we will display all colleges in those university areas which offer M.Sc Statistics course. But if the JNTU has a mandate that the candidate should be from Statistics background, then we should not display the list of all those colleges under that university for him in the list for selection. This will also reduce few more colleges. Again, we should also capture additional information for each university and course for qualification courses.

Now you have to choose similar kind of filter criteria to display list of colleges. But as we increase the number of conditions, it may impact on performance unless filters are applied carefully. Some time performance degradation can be inevitable.

Thanks,
Krishna

Thank u sir ....for u r valuable ideas ..
I have searched a lot for universities which provide this service ...but iam unable to get any site .I just want to see home pages of those applications so that it makes me easy while creating webpages for my project .
I have one more solution
in these days students are prefering respective universities or colleges based on their previous records .Suppose if we priorities respective universities or colleges according to thier previous records then student finds easy to choose particular college or university.
Previous records in the sense :-> suppose in our search we just rate particular college based on thier academic details and students statistics etc so when particular student searches for respective college or university he may just select the top one .Of course when he chooses for the best he has to be the best in his % ..for that we can apply the conditions what u have said .can i choose in that way?

[asili prasanna]

And where do i get details of all these colleges and univerities details .
Is there a possibility of searching online.

[sk_kireeti]

I believe you are thinking in right direction. This would be a great move to start with.

I don't think we will get all that information at one place. We can get little information from different sites (but need to google it). For a semester project, don't try to get every possible information. If you can't get data what you want, create your own sample database with 100 - 200 records. But you should be careful to create data so that every condition can be tested using that database.

Who suggested you this project? Do you have the whole picture of your project in your mind? If not, better work that out. This searching may be a critical and might be a differentiating feature. But this alone doesn't make a project. Especially for academic projects, you should have output to show. You just can't show search page as your project. This is just my suggestion. Don't take this otherwise.

Thanks,
Krishna

presently its impossible to change my project becoz still 1 and half month is left for my semister to complete.so moving to other one and analysing that is impossible ..
universities we will gather only AP wide and thier respective coll .
Being a semister project I can collect just few universities information and the respective courses university is providing .

Iam doing this project in CMC ..they gave some topics ..me and myfriend has choosen this one .CMC people they just gave the project title ,rest of the things we have to work out .
And there are different students to consider .Undergraduate ,graduate ,and post graduate students.we create an online application form for registration to each of these along with respective courses provided to them and the universities which they are going to apply.
And the location of that particular college or university .Mainly we are concentrating on course searches according to location,university ,or by course itself which in turn displays a set of results consisting of institute names and course details for the user to consider.

Hi friends
I have completed my final year project succesfully
This was a developing project
Thanks to mr Kireeti for his ideas
As u told regarding consideration of % i have implemented my project based on that concept and i have suceeded
Completely in proposed system i have given example of what you have said
Really my HoD was so impressed ...

[sk_kireeti]

asili_prasanna,

Congratulation!!!

I am happy that you completed your project successfully and I am every more happy to hear that your HOD was impressed with your concept and ideas.

I just said what ever came into mind and what I would like to see in a system like that. Any how, you are always welcome. We are here to help each other.

Thanks,
Krishna
