Even as most organizations and companies in the foreign countries have implemented information technology in their films, likewise most of Nigeria’s organizations and companies have also enjoyed the benefits of information technology.
Even as most foreign countries like America, China and India are experiencing information technology boom, Nigeria is yet to come to such level. With the communication satellite launched recently in our country will explore the hidden treasure of information technology.
As I consider the design and implementation of computerized Registration application for school enrollment, it is necessary to mention here that information technology have a lot to play in achieving this. Implementing computerized student registration system entails having access to internet, having a website and the place of strong and reliable database can not be over emphasized.
All these must be put into consideration and they are well treated in the subsequent section of this project work.
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

(iii) Loss of some submitted forms due to mismanagement of IMT officers and (iv) Long queue the students face in collecting their IMT Receipts, the need arises for the development of computerized Registration application for school enrollment to alleviate these problems.
1.2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aims and objectives of this project is listed below:
v To develop a software that replaces manual filling and submission of IMT form.
v To stop or solve the problems students face during payment of various fee.
v To help the management in the effective distribution of IMT information.
1.3 PURPOSE OF STUDY
The sole purpose of this study is to put to an end the difficulties students face or encounter during registration.
