University Of Southern Mindanao
It has been said that the computers aren’t just ordinary things that have to be taken for granted, but they must be recognized and put into priority instead. Information technology was gained great impetus in the field of education. It is a recipient of new building and new professionals to cater the community. The researchers look for several references to be used in building up automated software to enable too fast – track the computerized entrance exam procedures of Notre Dame Village National High School. Specifically, some related articles or studies being collected are as follows: Automated Entrance Examination System of University of Southern Mindanao and AMA Computer University, Cotabato campus and an internet – based research that is relevant to the proposed study.
University of Southern Mindanao is one of the educational institutions located at Kabacan, North Cotabato which uses an automated entrance examination system developed by LCD’s Software developer. Based on the proponent’s observation, if the user wants to manipulate the system, authentication is strictly required. To authenticate it, the user must input password. Its software features an automated searching or a search engine to automatically seek a certain student’s information. Its searching method is being done according to type of search keys.
There are three types of keys used to search and these are the following: the primary key which is the student’s ID number and the student’s last name and first name as its secondary keys. The features which provide the search engine and user input password is some of the features of the system, which the proponents decide to adapt and incorporate in the overall design of the proposed system. http://www.usm.edu.ph/
AMA Computer University
Another is the AMA Computer University (AMACU) located in S.K. Pendatun Avenue, Cotabato City. Its Automated entrance system features the same quality of software as what University of Southern Mindanao has. However, distinction varies on the capability of searching records. AMACU has only two search keys used in seeking a certain student’s records and these are as follows: Student’s ID number as its primary key and Student’s last name as its secondary. http://www.philippinecompanies.com/…/ama-computer-college-cotabatocity Notre Dame of Midsayap College

The said private educational institution in the Municipality of Midsayap just 1 hour ride from Cotabato City has already adapted the use of information technology particularly for its entrance, library and Business Office. Visual Fox Pro version 6.0 was the programming language used for developing the system. In addition, such system is implemented in a network environment, thus, giving the intended users the convenience of cross checking student records before any transaction is consummated.
For each of the related local studies, the proponents have incorporated the similarities of the computerized entrance system especially for the major transactions, such as the student information sheet, fasten the entrance examination result.
Although the said local studies is implemented for all the educational levels of the institutions mentioned, the similarities between the proposed electronic entrance exam system and the ones mentioned in the local studies made the proponents decide to use it as a reference for the internal structure of the modules developed. http://www.ndmc.edu.ph/index.php
