What is FUEM?

FUEM – FPT University Exam Management is a comprehensive platform developed for FPT University Da Nang. It was designed to digitize traditional exam management, reduce manual workloads, improve coordination, and enable real-time monitoring of academic operations.

Built as part of a Capstone Project, FUEM demonstrates how practical, scalable technology can be applied directly within the education sector.

Challenge

Creating a robust, campus-wide exam management system came with significant complexity. We needed to address:

• Multiple user roles including admins, lecturers, students, exam supervisors, and exam department staff
• Multi-platform authentication, with seamless login via Microsoft, Google, and Zalo Mini App
• High data complexity, involving classrooms, schedules, student rosters, exam codes, supervisors, and incident tracking
• Flexible configuration options to adapt across different semesters and exam formats
• Detailed reporting across various dimensions (by day, period, student, supervisor) with export functionality

What We Did

Our team implemented over 100 features, including:

• A clean, role-based UI with intuitive navigation for each user type
• Semester, course, student, and room management via Excel imports or manual input
• A Zalo Mini App for exam supervisors to register, confirm attendance, and view personal schedules
• A real-time incident management system that allowed supervisors and IT staff to report, track, and resolve issues instantly
• Automatic email and Zalo notifications for exam codes, scheduling updates, and server status
• A powerful reporting module that enabled instant summary generation and exports

Stack & Tools

• Frontend: React.js, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: C# with .NET
• Database: MySQL
• Authentication: Microsoft OAuth, Google OAuth, Zalo Mini App
• Real-time Updates: WebSocket-based incident tracking
• Utilities: Excel Import/Export, Zalo Notification API

Outcome

• FUEM successfully managed all semester exams at FPT University Da Nang, serving over 2,000 students and 100+ supervisors
• Handled 300+ exam rooms, 2,000+ exam slots, and 5,000+ student-room assignments
• Reduced incident resolution and exam coordination time by over 40%
• The Zalo Mini App received excellent feedback for its accessibility and ease of use
• Reporting features gave the exam department quick access to structured, accurate data

What We Learned

• How to architect a complex system with multiple user flows and role-based permissions
• The importance of building flexible, modular workflows that mirror real-world academic operations
• Efficient teamwork strategies like splitting modules and syncing full-stack logic across developers
• Designing with long-term reusability in mind, ensuring the system adapts to future semesters with minimal changes

Final Thoughts

FUEM is more than just a student project — it’s a real-world solution making a meaningful impact on educational digitization in Vietnam. It proves that with the right vision and teamwork, students can build production-grade systems that solve genuine institutional problems.

The platform is now under review for deployment across other FPT University campuses.
