Graduate Selection Process

Graduate Selection Process is the project that goes around the details of onlinerecruitment. It is the project that is intended to make the recruitment process fair, faster

and reliable.

The software to be designed deals with online recruitment of employees. Users

can register their details and enter the recruitment process. Four tests will be conducted

and allotted times varies with the type of test. The users must complete all the tests with

in the allotted time. The answers are evaluated automatically and the results are stored

in a database, which can be accessed as and when required. Users are short-listed

based on their performance in the online tests conducted.

Objectives:

The objectives of the system are as follows:

1. To conduct online recruitment tests for testing the users knowledge. The

test has to be timed with a limit on the number of questions for the test,

which can be modified only by the administration authority. The questions

for the test are automatically selected at random from the database.

2. The questions for the test have to be maintained in a separate table in the

database.

3. Modification, deletion and addition of questions will only done by the

administration.

4. The administration can add new Test modules if desired.

5. The results have to be computed and stored in a separate table in the

database.

6. The time limit will be maintained strictly.

7. The results will be presented as and when required.

Existing system:

The present recruitment system is conducting exams manually for evaluation ofperformance, aptitude skills, English skills and technical skills and of the candidate. As

and when a person checks in for giving the test a registration form containing all the

required details are to be filled and sent to the personal department these details are to

be entered in the respective department register.

This recruitment procedure consists of a six- step procedure. The six steps are

1) Aptitude Test

2) English Test

3) Technical Test

4) Psychometric analysis

5) Lecture and Group discussion

6) Final Technical and HR Interview.

The test papers are then prepared from a question bank by randomly selecting

the questions. After conducting the test, the papers are evaluated manually and resultsare announced.

The task of existing system is maintaining information of the candidates

registered for the examination, preparing the question papers, evaluating the answers

and storing the results, which presently is accomplished in the manual way.

Limitations of the existing system:

The existing system employs a lot of man-hours both for preparing the test

papers, evaluating them and announcing the results.


3/5

This time consuming evaluation coupled by the huge manpower requirement

may also lead to erroneous results. To maintain the personal details of the candidate in

a file manually, which candidate fills the time of the test, may result in some loss of data

and difficulty to store.

Question paper may be same for some students, which might results in

malfunctioning. Apart from this manually conducting a test may take lot of manpower for

conducting, evaluating and giving the results. If the candidates taking the test are more

in number then lot of time consumes for evaluating manually. Once evaluation is over

the responsibility of storing their details is also a tedious process.

The drawbacks in the existing system are as follows:

y More paper work

y Loss in Data

y Less Security

y Time Delay

y More Clerical Work

y Human Fatigue

y Fear of environment

y Chance for errors

y Delay of results

Proposed System:

The proposed system will be developed on client/server architecture. The user

can logon to the intranet and register or the administrator can register a new user.


4/5

On registration, each user is assigned a unique id and a password. The user can

logon to the server with his Id and appear for the selection tests. The questions are

selected at random from a question database. The tests are timed tests. After

completion of the test, the papers are evaluated dynamically and the results are stored

in a database. The system also generates a merit list of candidates at the end of the

test or as when required.

The system also ensures that no candidate is permitted to reappear for the test

within six months.
