ABSTRACT
Electronic supported assessment or E-assessment is a field of growing importance. preparing manual test is a difficult task to handle and a time consuming process for teachers, in which they have to prepare both fair and consistent exam for each class. Besides, even is the teacher can prepare a sufficient exam, it is difficult to prevent students from cheating and if teachers cannot prevent them from doing this injustice, it will occur again and again. With this new system, the problem of cheating will be reduced and there will be no delay in releasing of student’s result. Human error(s) in conducting, marking and scoring of the examination. pThe system is designed to facilitate the examination processes and manage challenges surrounding the conduct of examination, auto-submission, auto marking and examination result report generation. The use of computer-based examination technology in administering examinations will improve efficiency, fast and also a solution to cheating. A computer based testing system (CBTS) will improve accuracy and profitability of academic institution as it reduces the cost of stationeries and labour involved in conducting examinations manually. The new system was designed and implemented using visual basic (VB).

CHAPTER ONE
1.0.    INTRODUCTION
Application of computer-based examination is an online examination that many educational institutions use to checkmate students performance. These examinations may be administered at any levels of education, from primary to higher education, although they are common at higher levels., computer based examination system serves three main purposes:
➢    To allow entrance examination at different places to take exam at the same time through the online examination website.
➢    Through carefully planning and proper coding, enable entrance examination, result checking and admission status on the website.
➢    To integrate database with the program allowing administrator easily of system and creation of entrance examination which is a computer-based examination.
This project will propose all features and procedures to develop the system. It is also specially a continuous process on the details about objective, scope limitation, process model, primate requirement, team development, possible project risks, project schedule and finally monitoring and reporting mechanism. Computer based examination is very useful for educational institutions to prepare an exam, save the time that it will take to check the paper and prepare for their entrance examination for students and develop their skills.
The effective use of computer based system in any educational institute or training centre can be used as a strategy in putting smiles on the faces of students writing exams, it a means for them to give good and better results in less time after writing the exam.
However, the formulation of question for on-line examination which is a computer based examination system is often treated with high level of consciousness. With developing of computer application which is coming up. This application software has affected every of one’s life, and also the examination. Just like other application systems, examination application system are very fast, reliable and convenient, from simple stand-alone systems to computer based system and now some web based system. This system can be used to help people get familiar with the computer usage quickly which can save a lot of money and time.
