Step By Step Implementation

Follow the below steps to implement the discussed project:

Step 1: Install Django.

Step 2: Create a folder with the name College_Management_System and open it with VS Code.

Step 3: Open the terminal and create a new project "student_management_project" using the below command.

django-admin startproject student_management_project

Step 4: Enter inside the folder "student_management_project" and create the app "student_management_app".

python manage.py startapp student_management_app

Step 5: Go to student_management_project -> settings.py -> INSTALLED_APPS and add our app 'student_management_app'.

Step 6: Go to urls.py of student_management_project and add the below path in urlpatterns. (Note - Import include as from django.urls import path, include)

path('', include('student_management_app.urls'))

Step 7: Now enter the views that are going to use in views.py of student_management_app.

Step 8: Create or Go to urls.py of student_management_app and add the following URLs.

Step 9: Now create a file StudentViews.py. It contains the views that are used on the student Interface.

Step 10: Now add the StaffViews.py. It contains the views of the staff interface.

Step 11: Now add the HodViews.py. It contains the views of the HOD interface.

Step 12: Now add models.py to our project. It stores all the models that will be used in our project. 

Step 13: Go to student_management_project -> setting and add AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'student_management_app.CustomUser'.

Step 14: Now create forms.py

Step 15: Now register the models in admin.py

Step 16: Now Create a new folder as templates which includes Student_template, Hod_template, Staff_template folders. It contains the different templates used in each interface.
Create another folder as static which also includes some files. ( Note - All these folders must be in student_management_project ).

Step 17: Add media, static URLs, and root path. 

import os

MEDIA_URL="/media/"
MEDIA_ROOT=os.path.join(BASE_DIR,"media")

STATIC_URL="/static/"
STATIC_ROOT=os.path.join(BASE_DIR,"static")

Step 18: Now create a base.html page.
