In this study a web-based Result Management System was designed and developed for the Department of Computer Engineering, University of Benin to improve the processing, storage and management of students’ academic records using React.js, Node.js, Express.js and PostgreSQL while JSON Web Token (JWT) and bcrypt authentication model were adopted to ensure access control and data security. Reviewed works revealed that many existing result processing systems still depend on manual operations, standalone applications and weak authentication structures which expose academic records to computational errors, unauthorized access, poor scalability and delayed result processing. Some systems could only operate within local networks while others lacked centralized databases, transcript automation and web accessibility.

The developed system automated course registration, result generation, GPA/CGPA computation, transcript printing and result viewing through role-based operations involving administrators, lecturers, course advisers and students. The backend grading engine automatically computed total scores and assigned grades based on departmental grading standards thereby reducing human errors and improving result consistency. Secure PDF printing with verification codes was also integrated to reduce result falsification and improve document authenticity. The output generated from the tested modules matched the expected academic grading and reporting format without computational inconsistencies even under multiple user operations.

The control of academic records through a centralized and secure web architecture increased transparency, reduced paperwork, improved accessibility and strengthened the reliability of result processing within the department. Comparing the developed system with existing manual and semi-automated methods further justifies the importance of such research in improving academic record management in Nigerian universities.
