01.Problem & Context

University departments struggle with scattered lecture resources, uncoordinated communication threads, and manual paper-based attendance and examination grading.

02.System Architecture & Data Flow

Modular PHP 8+ MVC backend with MySQL relational database, Tailwind CSS responsive dashboards, vanilla JavaScript for interactive timers and client-side validation, and mPDF engine for server-side report and exam PDF generation.

03.Engineering Challenges & Solutions

  • Designing a time-sensitive attendance token system that prevents attendance fraud across large lecture halls.
  • Building real-time MCQ assessment modules with automated grading and PDF export using mPDF.
  • Structuring strict role-based access control (Admin, Teacher, Student) ensuring granular data authorization boundaries.
