Abstract
Best Student Selection Using Weighted Sum Method is a system to select the best student in faculty to be a candidate for UniSZA Royal Award during convocational day. The selection will be evaluated according to five main categories in terms of academic achievement, extra-curricular, leadership positions, personality and external achievement held by students. Currently, Unisza performs the evaluation manually for Royal Award on convocational day. This system will use Weighted Sum Method algorithm (WSM) for the calculation. The result is useful for University to choose the best candidate from faculty for best student and also to improve the current manual system. In conclusion, it can be concluded that this system have given the best benefits for both the university and the students.
Introduction
On 6 November 1988, meeting of the Conference of Rulers The 145th (Second Day) has agreed to establish a Royal Education Award Medal, known as Jaya Cemerlang. From the 1988/1989 academic session, the Council of Rulers Malaysia has awarded this Royal Education Award annually to the best overall student in the Universiti Zainal Abidin (UniSZA). The purpose of this award is to give recognition to the highest awarded to a graduate who excel in academics and co-curricular activities. Best Student Selection System, using weighted sum algorithm is proposed to evaluate students based on their criteria.
Objectives
- To implement Weighted Sum Method to find the ranking based on criteria.
- To design a Decision Support System (DSS) that help management to choose the best candidate for Royal Education Award.
- To test the functionality of proposed system in the UniSZA environment.
Weighted sum model (WSM)
The formula of Weighted Sum Algorithm is :
The formula being applied in this project by calculating the scored with the 7 main criterias. The total scores for these criteria are 100%. The criteria are divided into academic and co-curricular selection. Criteria that are being used in this project for UniSZA Best Student Selection Management System are :
Academici) Academic Result -50 % (weightage) –C1
ii) Personality -10 % (weightage) –C2 |
Co-curricular i) Sports – 8 %(weightage)-C3
ii) Arts – 8 %(weightage)-C4 iii) Volunteers – 8 %(weightage)-C5 iv) Leadership – 8 %(weightage)-C6 v) Awards – 8 %(weightage)-C7 |

Conclusion
As the conclusion, this system can help students to fill their co- curriculum activities form and update their information without having to fill them manually. Staff of UniSZA can also save their time to verify the information.The system can generate the percentage of co- curriculum each student. I hope the system could help UniSZA management especially UniSZA staff when it comes to verify students form and help students who are always busy with their studies to fill up the form through this system.
