Abstract
With the huge development of internet for the past decade, people are using internet in almost every walk of life. Using internet for acquiring knowledge is beneficial to every individual. So, the system Online Training & Performance Assessment (OTPA) is useful to every user in the act of gaining knowledge and also to test their capability.

The main objective of this project is to develop a web based application which provides tutorials on various topics, conduct tests through which user can assess his knowledge in a particular topic and generates report which is useful for further assessment. In this proposed system, user has to initially register to use the services provided. After completing the registration, user can login any time to take tutorials or tests in any of the provided topics. User also has the option of downloading the tutorial in pdf format for later reference. The tests are time constrained which is useful to know the capability of the user based on the time taken to complete a test. There are three levels of difficulty in the test. One has to score a minimum marks to clear a level and to proceed to next level. After completion of a test along with score, user has a provision of knowing the correct answers for the questions in that test. User can view the reports generated by the system for all tests in all topics and he can know details of each test taken by that user in different topics, if required. The maintenance of the website is the responsibility of the admin. Admin has a separate interface where he is provided with the option for generating three kinds of reports which tells about the performance of the registered users in different topics and maintenance of question-bank of webiste. Question-Bank maintenance consists of Topic maintenance and Questions maintenance. Topic maintenance includes adding, deleting and modifying topics and sub-topics. Question maintenance includes adding, modifying, deleting the questions from the different topics available in database.
