1. Abstract
The Examination Result Processing System is a Python-based
application designed to simplify the task of recording, calculating, and
managing student examination results.By integrating Python and MySQL, this
project provides a simple and reliable way for educational institutions to
automate result processing, including calculating total marks, percentages, and
grades.This system helps reduce manual work, improves accuracy, and ensures
that student results are securely stored and easily accessible. It demonstrates
real-world database connectivity and automation using Python and SQL.
2. Introduction
Every educational institution needs an efficient way to process examination
results. Traditionally, teachers manually calculate totals, percentages, and
grades — a process that is time-consuming and prone to errors.
The Examination Result Processing System automates this process using
Python as the programming interface and MySQL as the backend database.
Key features include:
Adding student exam records
Automatic calculation of total marks, percentage, and grade
Updating and deleting records
Viewing complete result sheets
This project is ideal for learning Python-MySQL integration and serves as a
base for more advanced student information systems.
3. Objectives
To automate the examination result management process.
To use MySQL for secure data storage and retrieval.
To minimize calculation errors by automating total and grade
computation.
To simplify the process of result entry, modification, and reporting.
To demonstrate real-world database programming using Python.
