ABSTRACT
With the advance in technology in field of computer related organization, a lot of things are now automated. As a matter of fact, Information technology has a vital role in the design and implementation of an online admission and result checking system.
Almost all our Higher Institution has gone into online admission and result checking system because of the extraordinary benefit resulting from information technology. Information technology has enabled an online admission and result checking system to project work successfully.
With this online admission and result checking system, students’ data/information are well collected, processed and stored for the management purpose.
ORGANIZATION OF PROJECT WORK
This project work is primarily designed to give an insight to Online admission and result checking system System.
Chapter one talks about introduction to online admission and result checking system System, study of problem and objectives as well as definition of the scope.
Chapter two comprises the literature review. Chapter three gives the detailed information about the existing (old) system, while chapter four and five deals with the design and implantation of new system.
Chapter six document the project work, while chapter seven summaries, conclusion and suggestions were made.

1.1 INTRODUCTORY CONCEPTS
As most nations of the world are becoming information technology inclined, Nigeria is not left behind. Even as most organizations and companies in the foreign countries have implemented information technology in their films, likewise most of Nigeria’s organizations and companies have also enjoyed the benefits of information technology.
Even as most foreign countries like America, China and India are experiencing information technology boom, Nigeria is yet to come to such level. With the communication satellite launched recently in our country will explore the hidden treasure of information technology.
As I consider the design and implementation of online admission and result checking system, it is necessary to mention here that information technology have a lot to play in achieving this. Implementing online admission and result checking system entails having access to internet, having a website and the place of strong and reliable database.
All these must be put into consideration and they are well treated in the subsequent section of this project work.
1.2 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
PRIOR TO THE establishment of the Institute of Management and Technology, Enugu, there were two institutions in Enugu – The College of Technology which offered courses in Engineering and Laboratory Technology, up to the Ordinary Diploma Level and the Institute of Administration which provided short in-service Training Courses for Civil Servants of various grades. The college of Technology was part of the Ministry of Education and was controlled directly by that Ministry. Similarly, the Institute of Administration was controlled by the Ministry of Establishments. Both institutions were staffed by Civil Servants who were posted to the two institutions and could be re-posted to other departments of ministries according to the needs of the service. They were not specially recruited as teachers. Thus, the administration and operation of the institutions closely followed the routine in the Civil Service. Both institutions were separate and located on different sites.

They were not specially recruited as teachers.
However, the need for a higher institution of learning to upgrade the training in technology and management education has begun to be felt for some time. The academic program of the College of Technology, Enugu, was no longer adequate for the assessed needs of Nigeria at the threshold of industrial take-off. If the industrialization of the country was to be achieved and maintained at a high standard, the technologists, technicians and processionals needed a better and more functional training. It is clear that successful industrial development depends as much on the technologists as on the management skills and expertise available to the country
1.3 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
         Owing to (i) the difficulties student encounter in manual filling and submission of IMT forms (ii) time wasted in getting information from IMT officers on how to fill the form. (iii) Loss of some submitted forms due to mismanagement of IMT officers and (iv) Long queue the students face in collecting their IMT Receipts, the need arises for the development of online admission and result checking system to alleviate these problems.
