Background of the Study
Course registration is a critical administrative function in universities, directly impacting student satisfaction and operational efficiency. At Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, Kaduna State, there is growing interest in comparing AI-based methods with traditional manual registration systems. AI-based systems leverage advanced algorithms to streamline registration processes by automatically managing course enrollments, detecting scheduling conflicts, and providing personalized recommendations to students. These systems are designed to enhance the speed, accuracy, and convenience of the registration process, reducing administrative workload and improving student experiences (Hassan, 2023; Ibrahim, 2024). Traditional methods, in contrast, often involve cumbersome paperwork, manual data entry, and are prone to human error. The integration of AI into course registration aims to address these inefficiencies by utilizing real-time data analytics to optimize enrollment processes. Such innovations are essential in handling the increasing number of students and complex course offerings in modern universities. Moreover, AI-driven registration systems offer enhanced data security and the ability to dynamically adjust to changes in course availability and student demand. However, the transition from traditional to AI-based systems is fraught with challenges, including technological integration issues, resistance from administrative staff, and concerns about system reliability. This study investigates the comparative effectiveness of AI-based versus traditional registration methods at Ahmadu Bello University. It aims to evaluate key performance metrics such as processing speed, error rates, and user satisfaction. The research also considers the broader implications of adopting AI solutions for university administrative processes, highlighting the potential benefits and risks associated with such a digital transformation (Yusuf, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
The current course registration system at Ahmadu Bello University is predominantly manual and plagued by inefficiencies that affect both administrative operations and student satisfaction. Traditional methods, while familiar, often result in scheduling conflicts, data entry errors, and delayed registration processes. Although AI-based registration systems promise a more streamlined, accurate, and user-friendly experience, their implementation has been slow due to technological, operational, and cultural barriers (Abdullahi, 2023). Resistance from staff who are accustomed to conventional practices, along with concerns about the reliability and security of AI-driven systems, poses significant challenges. Additionally, there is limited empirical evidence comparing the performance of AI-based methods with traditional approaches in the context of university course registration. This lack of comparative data contributes to the uncertainty and reluctance to adopt new technologies. Moreover, technical issues such as system integration with existing databases, data privacy, and continuous maintenance further complicate the transition to automated registration processes. This study aims to address these challenges by conducting a comparative analysis of both systems, identifying critical gaps in the traditional process, and assessing the practical benefits of AI integration. The goal is to provide clear, evidence-based recommendations that can guide policymakers and university administrators in making informed decisions about modernizing the course registration process (Sule, 2024).
