Student Management System Project in C++

In this article, we will build Student Management System Project in C++ and MySQL. Student Management System can help a college or university to maintain and manage all details of students easily. We have used the MySQL database with the help of Xampp software.

Project Overview: Student Management System Project in C++

Project Name:	Student Management System Project in C++
Abstract:	We will create a console-based project to help in student management.
Language Used:	C++
IDE:	Code::Blocks(16.01)
Database:	MySQL
Type:	Console Application
Recommended for:	Beginners and Intermediates of C++

Features of Student Management System Project in C++

Admin can log in to the system with a protected username and password (default credentials for admin is username admin password admin)
Admin can add new student records, view all existing records, update a record and delete a record.

Setup the Development Environment

To successfully develop and run the application you will need to install the following software and follow the below step.

Dev C++
Code::Blocks (16.01)
Xampp(For MySQL Database)

Now you need to set up the Code::Blocks IDE to be able to connect your C++ application to the MySQL database. You can follow this tutorial.

MySQL setup for Student Management System in C++

We will use Xampp software to easily manage and use MySQL on the system.

Open the Xampp software and run Apache and MySQL.
Go to your browser window and search for localhost/phpmyadmin/.
Run the following SQL command. These commands will create a database with the name studentmanagement and two tables within this database with some records.

CREATE DATABASE studentmanagement;

use studentmanagement;

CREATE TABLE userdetail( 
    username Varchar(20), 
    password varchar(20) 
);

INSERT INTO userdetail (username, password) VALUES ('admin', 'admin');

CREATE TABLE studentdetails( 
    studentno int, 
    firstname varchar(20), 
    lastname varchar(20), 
    mobileno varchar(20), 
    course varchar(20), 
    stream varchar(20) 
);

INSERT INTO studentdetails (studentno, firstname, lastname, mobileno, course, stream) VALUES ('1', 'Ravi', 'Sharma', '9936277219', 'BTech', 'CSE');
INSERT INTO studentdetails (studentno, firstname, lastname, mobileno, course, stream) VALUES ('2', 'Kriti', 'Singh', '9924657219', 'BTech', 'IT');
INSERT INTO studentdetails (studentno, firstname, lastname, mobileno, course, stream) VALUES ('3', 'Krishna', 'Kumar', '9213477219', 'BTech', 'ECE');
INSERT INTO studentdetails (studentno, firstname, lastname, mobileno, course, stream) VALUES ('4', 'Rahul', 'Sharma', '9932378219', 'BTech', 'EEE');
INSERT INTO studentdetails (studentno, firstname, lastname, mobileno, course, stream) VALUES ('5', 'Rani', 'Sinha', '9239869521', 'BTech', 'IT');

Code for Student Management System Project in C++

Open Code::Blocks IDE and create a new project with the name StudentManagement. Now paste the below code in the main.cpp file and run it.

Conclusion

The Student Management System Project in C++ can help colleges or universities in storing all the records of students safely in one place. This will ease the process of managing thousands of records. In this project, we have added the major operations which can be performed on records like adding a new record, updating records, deleting records, and viewing all records.
