Within the file, divide your data into separate storage containers called tables; view, add, and update table data using online forms; it includes forums, Post and comments and some FAQs on the related topics, through which we can create networking with other existing users.

This website includes the whole profile of the GPT students, it also gives the relevant information or notices about various events to the students of GPT. This website uses the Java platform for the development of the project. It is made very user friendly and easy to use.

To understand the information requirement of Students , it is important to conceptualize how data moves through the system , the process or transformations that the data undergo , and what the outputs are . Data processes by college could be emphasized graphically through Data Flow Diagram (DFD) to understand the logical underlying the system. In the Zero level, the whole system is considered as one process that defines the main input and outputs to that system without showing details of connections with database.
