Abstract -
The increasing demand for digital solutions in educational institutions underscores the need for efficient and automated systems to manage hostel operations. This project focuses on the development of an Android application for students and web application for hostel admins. It aims to simplify and digitize the process of hostel allocation, complaint registration, attendance tracking, and communication between hostellers and administration. The goal of this project is to digitize and expedite the different processes that go into running a hostel. Students and administrators may manage everyday tasks like room assignment, complaint registration, fee payments, and notices with ease thanks to this smartphone application’s user-friendly layout. Eliminating the conventional manual techniques of hostel management—which are frequently laborious, ineffective, and prone to mistakes—is the main objective of this project. Students can use this app on their smartphones to access information about their rooms, pay fees, file grievances, and get announcements. Administrators or hostel wardens have the ability to assign rooms, monitor fee status, handle complaints, and send out notifications to all users through the web application. HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Bootstrap framework is used for web-application and Android Studio is used to construct the android application, which uses MySQL for back-end support and Java for the front-end. It guarantees data security and real-time updates, enhancing openness and correspondence between inhabitants and hostel administration
