I. INTRODUCTION
With the computer and network technologies widely used, many computer applications based on Internet have been developed.
Online examination system is the one which allow students or trainees to do exercise or tests through computer. It not only reduces
the workload of teachers, but also achieves the objectivity and impartiality of examination. In the past several years, many
examination systems have emerged, such as [5], [6], [7] and [8]. An Online Examination System is an Online test simulator is to
take Online Examination, test in an effective way and no time wasting for manually checking of the test paper[3] [4]. The main
aim of Web based online examination system is to effectively evaluate the student exhaustively through a totally automated system
that not only saves lots of time but also gives fast and exact results. For Students they give exam according to their convenience
from any location by using Internet and there is no need of using additional thing like pen, papers, etc.
Online examination system helps students to offer a quick as well as easy way to available for the paper. It gives the
results quickly after the examination with 100% accuracy. Student can enter to give exam only with their valid username and
password. The online Examination contains multiple choice questions and appropriate number of options. There are no limitations
on number of options and it can be randomized so same set of question will not come to all student so it forbid manipulation. More
than one option can be right but the user can select only one option. This provides time limit. The user can see their results after
completing the paper. This helps the students to give the exam from far distance and which can provide surety of protection and
easiness and other beneficial features to the student [1].

II. LITERATURE REVIEW

Examination procedure is significant activities for institutions to evaluate performance of students. hence the quality of the Exam
questions will determine the quality of the students develop by the institutions, also preparing exam questions is challenges, long
winded and take more time for the instructors. Current technologies will help instructors to add the questions banks in databases.
The issue raised was how the current technologies would also help the instructors to auto produced the various sets of questions
from time to time without pertain about repeating and matching from the pass exam while the exam bank thriving.

III. LIMITATIONS OF EXISTING SYSTEM

We had studied XYZ College and found existing system was manual entry of up keeping of the details of the student who are
registered already. And it is very difficult for every student to come to the examination center. Online examination system is needed
to prepare Registration\application form, question paper for the Students and need to print a lots of number manually. For
calculating how much students registered, and verifying details of every students in a month by hand is very difficult and time
consuming. Its not only requires lots of time but also wastage of money as it requires quite lot of Manpower to do that. Another
component that takes into account that is the possibility of mistakes. The limitation of existent system is that it is not all
personalized. It can't be used for personal and immediate reference. Even the staff members can make quick entries if the
responsible person is absent.
More time require for creating question paper. Time to check right and wrong answers, Manually Calculating Marks.
Human erroneousness. Limitation of Number of student can give papers at a Time. Require Teacher to monitor examination
center.

IV. PROPOSED SYSTEM

This web based application is used to conduct online examination. The students can sit at individual terminals and login to write
the exam in the provided duration. The questions have to be given to the students. This web application will perform correction,
display the result instantly as well as store it in database. This web application gives the administrator with a facility to add new
exams. This application provides the Instructor to add questions to the exam test paper, modify questions in the exam in a particular
exam test paper. This web application takes care of authentication of the administrator, Instructor and the student. The advanced
computerized system is developed with the aim to get over the drawbacks of existent manual system. We had studied manual
Examination system of XYZ College and identified possible mechanization. The proposed system has got many vantages. People
from various area of the world can register very easily. The new system is more personalized. It is tangle in such a way that all the
new users can understand all the options in it very easily. It is made in a quick and easy referential style. The vantages of proposed
system are that safety is carry in the new system. As it is easily intelligible and user friendly, fast entries can be made in this system.
Complete mechanization, no manual intercession in whole process of examination. No geographical limit, Student can give exam
from any place of the world 24x7. 100% correctness in marks calculation. Randomization of Questions.

V. SYSTEM DESIGN

A. System Architecture
The administrator module, coordinator and student modules include their part of functions to the Online Examination. The
initialization of the Online Examination is done by the ADMIN. The administrator adds registered information of the users to the
Online Examination system database and edited or deletes it as needed. The Coordinator inserts the questions to the question paper
of the Online Examination in subject wise manner. The question numbers are automatically generate. The complete subject wise
results of students can be viewed by the exam coordinator and administrator at any time after the completing the exam. The student
only have to login to attend the exam and after completing and submitting the exam the result is immediately generate.

C. Online Test
Student user can use the function of online test to arbitrarily select a paper or use a paper assigned by teacher.

VII. ADVANTAGES
Online examination systems attempt to expeditiously evaluate the paper partakers thoroughly through a totally automated system
that saves time as well as give quick results. The Online examination system helps to completely automatize the old manual process
of taking exams. Normally it is execute by a Web Based Online Examination Software or and Intranet variance. It also importantly
decline the need for supervise while the exam is being taken.
An important high point of using a web based online examination system is that it gives a high level of transprentness as
opposing the traditional method. It is virtually impossible to compromise exam questions and valuations because they cannot also
be determined. Most online exams generate their results immediately and it is always possible for the examiner to get information
on his results instantly.
It becomes more and more popular in many colleges and training organizations that students have an exam via the internet.
It has many advantages, which has not geographical restrictions and is fair and reasonable. In high schools, Online test can realize
the "separation of teaching and evaluating" and automation management, and can use effectively campus network software and
hardware resources to achieve maximum effectiveness, and better for the school's teaching, research and management services. In
schools, to promote large-scale online test not only enables the examination of objectivity, fairness, but also can reduce the
workload of teachers through the automation of test paper, marking [10].

VIII. CONCLUSION
With the use of this system, we can moderately conclude that: It can help the authorization of the educational institution to maintain
the safety and integrity of its important data like record of attendance, exam results, etc. as the data shall instantly be transmitted
on the cloud wireless. The authorities not need to worry about misplacement pervert of attendance registers or exam registers, etc.

IX. FUTURE SCOPE

Scope of this project is very wide in terms of other manually exam paper. This can be used not only in educational institution but
also private institute .It can be used anyplace any time as it web base application .No limitation that examiner has to be available
when the student takes the test. Online examination is need to designing for educational institutes like and private institutes to
direct test of their students.
There have been number of cases of computer glitches, bugs in content. And security threats reported in web based online
examination system. So in the near future the so called software can be make more secure and trustworthy. While electronic
glitches are uncommon. They have been known to occur. For instance when computer crashes voided the efforts of so many
students. There are also cases in which correction software has corrupted score.
