Introduction

This article will help you to make a student record system project in C++. The project discussed in this article is designed to manage the student’s records related to their report cards. It is a straightforward C++ project for beginners to understand programming concepts by implementing such valuable projects. It includes the idea of following topics like structure, loops, arrays, if-else, switch, and so on. So hopefully, after creating this project, your basic C++ concepts will be clear.

Objectives

The Student Record System Project in C++ is beneficial because managing big data is impossible manually. Thus, applications like this are very beneficial and are developed with the following objectives:

• To improve the management of student enrolment
• For Centralized management of bills and accounts
• To efficiently manage all activities related to students.

Requirements

To run this project, you must have installed IDE for running and compiling the C++ source code. We recommend Dev C++ or Code Blocks for a better experience.

Explanation Of The Code

1. The major functions of this program are

• Insert Record
• Show all Record
• Search Record
• Exit Program

2. Each function has a function call in switch statements that works as per the user’s control.

3. The various user-defined functions discussed above contribute to the proper functioning of this student record system project.

4. The home screen is designed so that it greets the user with a ‘WELCOME’ and a menu appears with two options.

5. The main menu has six options through which we can create, view, modify, and delete the student’s records.

Output

Conclusion

We have successfully implemented a Student Record system in c++ project with all the required functionalities. With the help of this management system, it will become very convenient to manage and record student data and can easily retrieve the stored information when required.
