Background Study/Literature Review
2.1 Background
In study [1], Naveen Kumar H. et al. discuss the potential benefits of University Management
Systems (UMS) in educational institutions. They emphasize the importance of automation in
university administration, addressing challenges such as inefficiency, data inconsistencies,
and a lack of transparency. While the proposed system aims to streamline administrative
processes, enhance communication, and improve data security, it notably lacks key
components like online payment systems, student registration, and course enrollment
features. This limited scope does not encompass critical aspects such as class scheduling,
faculty and student management, or classroom allocation systems, thus offering a partial view
of UMS capabilities.

In paper [2], Moh. Anshori Aris Widya et al. highlight the need for improved payment
methods in education, specifically in Vocational High Schools (SMK). They identify issues
with traditional systems like long queues, administrative inefficiencies, and fraud risks. The
proposed solution involves a virtual account-based payment system developed in
collaboration with Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) through R&D, aiming to improve service
quality and convenience. The paper emphasizes the relevance of fintech innovations, notably
virtual accounts, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce overcrowding and
health risks. Employing qualitative data analysis, the paper simplifies complex information
for accessibility. However, it's essential to note that the discussed system is not tailored to the
Bangladeshi payment context, and it lacks features such as students being able to view their
dues by semester.

Luo's study [3] discusses how to manage university students in the era of big data. It talks
about the good things and problems that come with using a lot of data. It suggests using new
methods with internet technology to manage students better. The study also talks about the
challenges of using big data, like keeping student information safe. In the end, Luo's research
helps educators and administrators understand how to handle data in the digital age.

In the paper "University Research Project Management System Based on Cloud Platform" by
Yan et al. [4], the authors propose a cloud-based system to manage research projects in
universities. This system provides various modules for managing research projects, including
application, review, progress tracking, completion, and result display. However, it's important
to note that your project expands on these features by also including faculty and student
management, class scheduling, student registration, an online payment system, classroom
allocation, and result management. While both systems offer valuable contributions to
university management, the choice between them should depend on the specific needs of the
institution. Yan et al.'s system focuses more on research project-related functions, while your
project provides a holistic solution for broader university management needs.

The paper titled "Developing the Student Management System (SMS) for Universities in
Bangladesh '' by Biman Baruaa and Md. Obaidullahb [5] provides a valuable solution to the
challenges faced by higher education institutions in Bangladesh. With the increasing number
of universities in the country, the traditional paper-based management systems have become
impractical and error-prone. The authors propose implementing a comprehensive Online
Student Management System (SMS) to tackle these issues. The SMS aims to streamline
various university tasks, including class scheduling, classroom allocation, online payments,
student registration, course enrollment, faculty, and department management. This research
addresses a significant gap by focusing on the practical application and impact assessment of
such a system in Bangladeshi universities. It highlights potential benefits, such as improved
efficiency, better communication, data security, and time savings. However, empirical
evidence of SMS's effectiveness in real university settings would strengthen the paper.
Overall, this work represents a crucial step toward modernizing university management
practices in Bangladesh.

The paper [6] introduces a web-based Student Information Management System (SIMS) with
features like an easy-to-use login and registration system, email confirmation, and efficient
student registration processes, although it doesn't clearly state its objectives. To make the
system better, using a microservices architecture could help improve its ability to grow,
adapt, and be maintained. This approach would allow for the addition of features like class
scheduling, online payment processing, enrolling in courses by semester, and managing
faculty as separate services. However, the paper lacks a thorough evaluation of how well the
system works or feedback from users, making it hard to assess how useful it really is.
Additionally, it would be beneficial to explore security measures for protecting sensitive
student information in a web-based system.

The "University Management System in System-z Mainframe (zMS)" described in Asha Rani
Nallavadu's doctoral dissertation [7] has room for improvement by adding more features to
help universities manage various aspects. Currently, it handles student profiles, subject
registration, course results, and lecturer evaluations. But it could become even more useful by
including features for managing admissions, planning classes, overseeing faculty and staff,
connecting with alumni, and handling financial aid. Additionally, if it could analyze data and
provide useful insights, it would help university leaders make better decisions. These changes
would turn zMS into a comprehensive University Management System, making universities
run more smoothly.

2. 2 Summary of Literature Review

The review looks at different studies about how universities are managed. One study by
Naveen Kumar H. and others [1] talks about how technology can help manage universities
better, but it doesn't include everything Bangladeshi universities need, like online payments
and student registration. Another study by Moh. Anshori Aris Widya and team [2] talks about
making it easier to pay for school, which is important, especially during COVID-19. Luo's

Academic Administration Solution Page 7

study [3] talks about using lots of data to manage students and the challenges of doing that
safely. Yan and colleagues [4] suggest a system for managing research projects in
universities, but it focuses more on research, not all university tasks. The study by Biman
Baruaa and Md. Obaidullahb [5] recommends an online system for Bangladeshi universities
that covers many tasks like class scheduling and faculty management. Another study talks
about a web-based system for students [6], but it needs to be more secure, and it doesn't say
how well it works. Finally, Asha Rani Nallavadu's study [7] says that zMS can be improved
to help universities manage more things like admissions, class planning, faculty, alumni, and
data analysis. These studies give ideas on how to make university management better in
Bangladesh.
