Development of Web-GIS based College Information System

The project entitled “Development of Web-GIS Based College Information System” aims at developing a web application to access spatial data through the browser. It provides an environment for constructing spatially enabled Internet-Web applications. Using ArcGIS Desktop, it is possible to generate maps but cannot be shared across the web. Thus, this project aims at developing a web application to facilitate sharing. The interface is created by taking into consideration, the requirements of the user and optimizing the functionality of the application while keeping it simple for the user to interact with the application. The primary objective of this project is to bring information to the door step of users about the status of colleges in a particular place regarding the availability of colleges, courses, intake, faculty availability, admission procedure. The tool is a general information system which can be accessed anywhere in the world. In this project, a map showing the list of various colleges in the given area is developed and is displayed on the browser through web GIS. The user can search for a particular college using search option or he can directly interact with the map using zooming and panning options and mouse events. Based on user’s requirement, the list of colleges in a mandal or details of a particular college are displayed. The data corresponding to colleges and mandals can also be accessed by clicking on the map. Further, queries can be made to search for different categories of courses in the selected college.
