About Hostel Management System:

Existing System:

The current hostel management system is a manual one where most of the management-related things are done without using computer. This system is not able to keep records of the hostel students who are not present in their room during the night time.

This demerit has been solved in the proposed system with the provision of fine or any other appropriate actions against those who are absent in their hostel room during night.

Another disadvantage of the current system is the MESS payment procedure. Here, hostel students have to make full monthly payment for the food even if they do not eat on particular day for various reasons. The attendance in MESS as well as in all hostels are done manually by counting heads of each student.

Proposed System:

In this Hostel Management software, students are at first allocated to their appropriate hostel during the admission. The MESS food charges are additional, so the hostelers who eat food pay for the exact amount. This means, if any hosteler is not present, they don’t have to pay for the food for that particular day.


Features:

The key features of Hostel Management System are listed below:
  1. Each hosteler is provided a unique id during the admission time.
  2. They system keeps track of each and every hosteler by that unique id.
  3. The system can be used to find the vacant rooms if the hostel is very big. It can also be used to find the total numbers of rooms in the hostel, and the students residing in a particular hostel room.
  4. The system displays information regarding the hostel room for boys and girls.
  5. Hostel number can be assigned on the basis of year of admission and the course taken by the hosteler.
In addition to the aforementioned features, an admin can keep track of data of each and every employee working in the hostel. These employees, like the hostel students, are given unique id number. The admin can see list of all employees working in the hostel; they can add, edit, delete various information such as mess charges, hostel charges, etc.
