ABSTRACT
The conventional method of processing and accessing student result via a physical effort with the aid of conventional material like pen, pencil, book, ruler and so is cumbersome and very stressful.  This project examined an automated student result processing system with respect to the different phases involved in the development of system today, such as system programming and design, program logic, change over style, documentation, and its significance over the manual system of result processing system. The automated student result processing system allow and ensure easy insertion and deletion of student record, and it also allow the user to add and update the record of student in any given semester after the conduction of their continuous assessment and  examination in other to generate their Grade Point (GP) and Cumulative Grade Point (CGP) easily. The result processing is highly secured and protected from unauthorized users and this helps to reduce cases of missing student records. In this project work, the user must be given a password and access in which he/she will be the only one having access to every student record after the examination and test has being added together and submitted to him as result processing officer to generate the status and grade point or cumulative grade point of each student. The automated result processing systems enhance the reliability and convenience in computation of student score and generate their respective grade point in each course. The database contains the complete and comprehensive details of each student and their academic performance. This database keeps track of each student course like examination requirement and subject. The project work helps to overcome the problems associated with the manual method of result processing with the aid of the automated system.

INTRODUCTION
As we all know the application of computer is very relevant in every aspect of human life and there is need for everyone to be conversant with the new technology. The computer is used to carry out a task and assist man in business organization, research, education and many aspect of life. The development of computer to be used in office industries, homes as a replacement of manual method of data processing is the best technology that has ever happen to office management. In view of this, it is necessary for student result processing management system in Kogi State Polytechnic Lokoja to be computerized in other to aid the processing of student record on time. Computerization is the process of changing or converting a manual work done into an automated process using a computer.
As a result of this, student result processing management system is an automated system that make use of software to enhance the reliability and convenience in computation of student score, generate their respective grade in each course, most of the report are simple text format, for the purpose of fast printing. It also has a document (that is database document) that contains complete comprehensive details of each student and their academic performance. The database keeps track of each student course like exams requirement and subjects. This project work aimed at computerizing the result processing management system in the Department of computer Science, Kogi State Polytechnic Lokoja Kogi State.
