1. Introduction
The Software Design Document is a document to provide documentation which will be
used to aid in software development by providing the details for how the software
should be built. Within the Software Design Document is narrative and graphical
documentation of the software design for the project including ER Diagrams,
Conceptual Schema, and other supporting requirement information.
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the Software Design Document is to provide a description of the
design of a system fully enough to allow for software development to proceed
with an understanding of what is to be built and how it is expected to build. The
Software Design Document provides information necessary to provide the
description of the details for the software and system to be built.
1.2 Objective
● To deal with Hostel Management System in an easy and an
efficient manner.
● Create strong and secrete database that allows for any connection in
a secret way, to prevent any outside or inside attacks.

computerization of the current procedure of allocating hostel rooms. Currently,
the process involves students filling up the forms and submitting them in
respective hostel offices which involves a lot of paperwork, hence less efficient.
