There are 2 modules in this course

Learners will be able to apply procedural programming concepts, implement menu-driven applications, manage file-based data persistence, and evaluate user performance through score generation using the C programming language. This course guides learners through building a complete Online Exam Portal project, focusing on real-world problem solving rather than isolated syntax practice.

By completing this course, learners gain hands-on experience in understanding how C programs are compiled and executed, designing structured menus, writing reusable functions, handling files for saving data, and controlling program flow. The project-centric approach helps learners strengthen logical thinking, debugging skills, and confidence in writing structured C programs. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end project implementation using pure procedural programming (POP). Instead of small examples, learners work on a single cohesive project that simulates a practical examination system. Each module builds progressively, ensuring learners understand not just how to write code, but why each component is designed in a specific way. This course is ideal for beginners and intermediate learners who want to solidify core C concepts through applied learning and gain a portfolio-ready project.

This module introduces learners to the Online Exam Portal project by establishing a strong foundation in C programming execution, compiler behavior, project requirements, and menu-driven program design using procedural programming principles.
