1. Business Requirements
1.1. Background & Customer Needs
Every time when new starts or examination schedule is announced in Mehran University of
Engineering & Technology, Jamshoro there is a lot of mess everywhere and everyone is eager
to pay his tuition fees as soon as possible. This results in long queues outside the Bank and
student has to come to university bank during their preparation leaves thus wasting a whole day.
In addition to this there is no any proper channel to inform students about any announcements
or upcoming events in university and student has to regularly visit notice board in Administration
Block to get informed.
Many students have requested a system that would permit them to pay their fees with ease and
let them know about upcoming events and announcements on regular basis.

1.2. Business Opportunity

Mobile Fees payment and Event Notification System is solution to all those problems discussed
above. By using this system students can easily pay their annual and exam fees by sending
their details and scratch card number via SMS. As far as availability of scratch cards is
concerned they will be easily available at departments and other locations inside university
campus. This system will also permit university administration to notify students by sending
SMS regarding any announcement or event.
