6. Process Logic
6. Future Scope of the Project
The development of this project surely prompts many new areas of investigation. This project has
wide scope to implement it in any University/Institution having multiple papers there. This project
covers all functionalities related to On-Line Examination Hall Hence it can be implemented any-where
else after minute organization level customization,
Moreover some parts of the project have remained uncompleted due to some reasons. First of all
limitations of our project, which has been discussed in previous topic make place for future
enhancements. Though that was not the part of objective of our project but it would have great to
implement that provided we’d enough time.

Some of them are all those which are enumerated in the limitation section like:
      Online Payment
       A module from where entities can communicate
       And a faster process for subjective paper evaluation

Note: This Project is not done for Any Industry or Client.
