2. Overall Description
2.1 Product Perspective
With the help of this software the examinations which are currently held on paper
can be held using p.c. and this software maintain the data related to examination.
Examination can be on no. of subject also. Each student data is individually can
be seen by this software and also subject wise data can be shown. So it is very
easy to handle the exam and generate the result by one button click.
2.2 User Classes and Characteristics
