ABSTRACT

The Student Registration and Billing System is a web-based application developed to automate and streamline the core administrative functions of educational institutions, with a particular focus on student admissions and fee management. In most traditional setups, these operations are handled manually, often resulting in data redundancy, processing delays, and inaccuracies that negatively affect administrative efficiency and user satisfaction. This project aims to resolve these inefficiencies by offering a centralized digital platform capable of handling student and financial data securely, efficiently, and accurately. The system is designed to integrate all core functions into a single application that enhances transparency, improves workflow, and reduces the manual workload on staff.

Built using modern web technologies, the system features a frontend developed in React.js, a backend powered by MySQL for structured data storage, and Postman for RESTful API testing and validation. This combination ensures that the system is responsive, scalable, and maintainable. Core features include secure user authentication with role-based access control, allowing distinct functionalities for students, administrators, and staff. The interactive admission module simplifies the enrollment process, enabling applicants to complete forms, upload documents, and track application status online. The billing system automates fee calculations based on course selection, applicable discounts or scholarships, and installment plans. Users can view real-time updates of their fee status, pending dues, and payment history through intuitive dashboards and data visualizations. Additionally, the system includes employee management features that help maintain staff records, performance logs, and payment tracking.

A comprehensive reporting module generates accurate and customizable reports related to admissions, fee collections, defaulters, and user activity, which can assist in audits and strategic planning. These reports can be downloaded in standard formats for further analysis. By automating and integrating student registration and financial operations, the system delivers tangible benefits such as enhanced productivity, improved data accuracy, better financial control, and a significantly improved user experience. It reduces paperwork, minimizes the risk of human error, and ensures secure access to critical data at all times.
