Introduction

The Student Management System is a Spring Boot-based application designed to streamline the process of managing students and their courses. The system provides functionalities for administrators and students to perform various operations securely.

Features

Admin/Owner Operations:

1. Admit a student with details such as name, date of birth, gender, and a unique student code. Multiple addresses (permanent, correspondence, current) are supported.
2. Upload course details, including course name, description, course type, duration, and topics.
3. Assign courses to students (many-to-many relationship).
4. Search for students by name.
5. Retrieve a list of students assigned to a particular course.

Student Operations:

1. Update profile details, including email, mobile number, parent's name, and address.
2. Search for topics/courses assigned to the student.
3. Leave a course.

Authentication:

• Admins authenticate using credentials (Role-Based Authentication).
• Students validate themselves using their unique student code and password.

Technologies Used

• Spring Boot: Framework for creating standalone, production-grade Spring-based applications.
• Hibernate: Object-relational mapping framework for Java.
• JPA: Java Persistence API for managing relational data in Java applications.
• Swagger: Tool for API documentation.
• Spring Security: Authentication and access control framework.

Project Structure

The project follows a modular structure with distinct layers:

• Entity Layer: Contains the JPA entities representing the data model.
• Repo Layer: Includes repositories for database operations.
• Controller: Manages incoming HTTP requests, handling the flow of data between the client and the application.
• Service: Business logic layer that contains the core functionalities.
• DTO Layer: Data Transfer Objects for mapping between DTOs and entities.
