Online Application Manager is specially designed to manage online application forms. Its implementation may be treated as a complete replacement of omr application forms or manual application forms. But still, managing online forms has its own merits in the direction of data accuracy as the forms are filled by the candidates themselves. However, the submission of online application form may sometimes be accompanied by the payment of fees either by the credit card or use of bank draft. This system is quite useful to candidates while they are applying online for job recruitment, matrimonial registration or to appear for an examination.
How the system works
Online Application Manager is installed in web server. The application is linked to a web-based database. The home page of the application is accessed from the web server by the use of a link given to the home page from the client's website. Useful instructions and related links are available from the index page of the application which assists a person to fill-up the application form online. After successful submission of an application form, the applicant is requested to print the acknowledgement card, that contains the application number along with other necessary details. Online Application Manager is integrated with Application Manager by the use of Twin Accelerator. Verification of bank draft, validation of data, eligibility criteria is managed by Application Manager in local server. After all check-ups, Roll number or ID number is allotted to the applicant and updated data is again uploaded to web server by using Twin Accelerator.Various tasks such as online submission of career marks, printing of online admit cards, online rank cards etc are managed by the application.
