System for university and college admission projects: Design and Implementation based on Linear Programming

Abstract

The rapid development of information technology and network infrastructure has brought about numerous opportunities and breakthrough applications in management and operations across all sectors of modern life, with education holding a significant position. Currently, the Ministry of Education and Training has implemented transactional portals to support universities and colleges in constructing admission plans. However, these transactional portals only provide basic support such as uploading data on lecturers, floor area, student scale, and some forms and reports. Despite some improvements, these systems are still incomplete and not consistently updated with admission plan data over the years. Additionally, there is no automated mechanism to propose an optimal solution for balancing the faculty size, student scale, and floor area to estimate admission targets for specific fields and disciplines. Therefore, we propose a new solution: building a web-based system integrated with linear programming algorithms. The goal is to optimize the admission process, balance the faculty, minimize errors, and enhance efficiency, thereby fixing the limitations of the current Ministry's system.
