Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1.
Background
The purpose of this project is to create a student marksheet using the C programming
language. This program is designed to allow teachers and academic institutions to manage
their student grades more efficiently. The software is capable of storing, updating, and
calculating student grades, generating reports, and providing insights into student
performance.
The project aims to simplify the process of grade management for educators and
administrators by automating manual tasks such as grade entry and calculation. This program
is user-friendly and designed with a simple interface to ensure easy navigation for users.
The project consists of several key components, including a database for storing student
information, a user interface for entering and updating grades, and a set of functions to
calculate student averages and generate reports. The database will be designed to
accommodate a large number of students and their grades, and it will be possible to easily
search, sort, and filter data.
The student marks sheet will provide a comprehensive view of student performance,
including individual subject scores, total marks, grade points, and grade averages. Reports
can be generated for individual students or for groups of students, making it easier for
educators to identify areas where students may need additional support.
In summary, the project aims to create a student marks sheet that will help educators and
academic institutions manage student grades more efficiently. This program will provide an
easy-to-use interface for entering and updating grades, as well as generating reports and
insights into student performance.
Problem Statement

error-prone process for educators and academic institutions. The process of grading and
calculating grades can be tedious, and it can lead to delays in providing timely feedback to
students and parents. As a result, there is a need for a more efficient and effective way to
manage student grades and academic performance. Here are the few things that needs to be
improved:

The proposed project aims to address this problem by creating a student marksheet
using C programming language.
7

The software will provide a centralized database to store all student grades, automate
manual tasks such as grade calculation, and generate reports to provide insights into
student performance.

The program will be user-friendly and designed with a simple interface to ensure easy
navigation for users.

The proposed project will help educators and academic institutions to manage student
grades more efficiently and effectively, saving valuable time and effort, and
promoting academic success for students.

Motivation
In today's academic environment, managing student grades and academic performance has
become an increasingly challenging task for educators and academic institutions. The manual
process of grade management is time-consuming, prone to errors, and can lead to delays in
providing timely feedback to students and parents.
Creating a student marksheet using C programming language will simplify the grade
management process and help educators and academic institutions to keep track of student
performance effectively. This program will provide a centralized database to store all student
grades, making it easier to access and update them as necessary.
By automating manual tasks such as grade calculation, educators can save valuable time and
effort, allowing them to focus on providing better education to their students. Additionally,
the software will provide insights into student performance, making it easier to identify areas
where students need additional support.
The proposed project will offer a user-friendly interface, which will make it easier for
educators to navigate and input data, and the software's report generation capabilities will
provide a comprehensive view of student performance. This will enable educators to provide
timely feedback to students and parents and to identify any areas of concern.
In summary, creating a student marksheet using C programming language will provide an
efficient and effective solution to manage student grades and academic performance. The
software's automation of manual tasks, user-friendly interface, and report generation
capabilities will help educators to focus on providing better education to their students and to
promote their academic success.
