Background of the Study
Access to timely academic results is crucial for students to track their progress and plan for future academic endeavors. Jigawa State Polytechnic in Dutse, Dutse LGA, seeks to improve the dissemination of examination results through the design of a mobile‑based student result checking system. Traditional methods of result checking, which often involve manual postings and on‑campus access points, can be inefficient, error‑prone, and inaccessible to students in remote areas. The proposed mobile‑based system leverages smartphone technology and cloud computing to deliver real‑time examination results directly to students’ devices (Okafor, 2023; Adeyemi, 2024). By integrating secure login protocols and responsive web design, the system ensures that results are easily accessible, accurate, and delivered promptly. Additionally, the system incorporates user feedback mechanisms, automated notifications, and data encryption to maintain the confidentiality of academic records. This digital approach not only enhances student convenience but also reduces the administrative burden associated with manual result distribution. Furthermore, real‑time analytics can help academic administrators monitor result dissemination and identify potential discrepancies quickly. Despite its potential, challenges such as network reliability, system security, and user adaptation to mobile technology must be addressed. Pilot studies in similar educational settings have demonstrated that mobile‑based result checking systems can significantly enhance user satisfaction and operational efficiency. This study aims to evaluate the design, implementation, and effectiveness of the mobile‑based result checking system at Jigawa State Polytechnic, providing recommendations for optimizing system performance and user experience (Chinwe, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
Jigawa State Polytechnic currently faces inefficiencies in result dissemination due to reliance on traditional, manual methods that delay access and may lead to inaccuracies. The absence of a mobile‑based solution means that students often experience prolonged waiting periods and limited accessibility, which adversely affects academic planning and morale. Although a mobile‑based student result checking system offers a modern, efficient solution by providing real‑time updates and secure access to examination results, its implementation is confronted by challenges such as network instability, data security vulnerabilities, and low digital literacy among some users. Inadequate integration with existing academic databases further complicates result verification and dissemination. Moreover, resistance from stakeholders familiar with conventional methods may impede system adoption. This study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile‑based result checking system, comparing its performance with traditional approaches and identifying key technical and operational challenges. The research will propose actionable strategies to enhance system reliability, security, and user engagement, ultimately ensuring that students have prompt and accurate access to their academic results (Adeyemi, 2024).
Objectives of the Study
To design and implement a mobile‑based student result checking system.
To assess the system’s performance in terms of accessibility, security, and accuracy.
To propose strategies for improving network stability and user adoption.
