An Intelligent Student Hostel Allocatıon System Based on Web Applications

Student hostel management system is a software programme designed to manage the activities of allocating students to a hostel and other activities involved in managing the students in the hostel. Managing the student’s hostel allocation is a complex task. This study develops an algorithm and techniques for automatic student hostel allocation system based on Web applications that would allocate student to the hall and room-based certain constraints. System is faced with lot of challenges. The system will use MySQL for the manipulation and storage of data, PHP to create dynamic Web pages and Sublime Text as the integrate development environment/text editor for HTML/CSS and PHP. The proposed algorithm and techniques for automatic student hostel allocation system will perform the task of allocating student to hostel rooms in a timely fashion based on the defined constraints. The algorithms and techniques were implemented and validated. Result shows that the proposed model provides information about the room occupancy at any given time, enabling the management in making decisions to improve condition of living in hostels and grants the hostel management team the statistics they need on the hostel.
