College Management System

This Django-based project is a comprehensive system designed for managing various entities and workflows within a college. It integrates academic, financial, library, and administrative functions to streamline operations for students, faculty, and administrators.

Overview

The College Management System (CMS) manages users (students, faculty, and admins), courses, departments, news, media galleries, certificates, grievances, feedback, financial records, and library resources. Each feature is represented by a model that defines relationships between entities and provides essential validations and constraints to maintain data integrity.

ER Diagram

The Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram for this project illustrates the relationships between key entities in the system.

Key Entities and Relationships:

  1. User Management

    • User (Django's built-in model) is extended through the Profile model to categorize users as admins, faculty, or students.
    • Each Profile can be linked to a unique faculty_id or student_id.

  2. Department and Course Management

    • Departments are managed by the Department model, while StreamCourse organizes streams and courses.
    • Faculty members are assigned to departments and courses through FacultyCourseAssignment.

  3. Academic Records

    • RegisteredStudent holds student enrollment details, while CourseMarks records their academic performance with course-specific marks.

  4. Financial Management

    • FeeCollection and LibraryFineCollection track students' financial transactions, including fee payments and library fines.

  5. Library Management

    • LibraryInventory manages book stocks, LibraryMember handles memberships, and BookIssued records issued books with validations to maintain stock.

  6. Certificate Management

    • CertificateType defines available certificates, and CertificateApplication processes student applications.

  7. Grievances and Feedback

    • Students can submit Grievance records for issue reporting and Feedback for course and faculty evaluations.
