Abstract:

An expert system is a computer program that contains some of the subject-specific knowledge, and contains the knowledge and analytical skills of one or more human experts. It reasons with uncertainty and imprecise information. Currently, in Nigeria,  there are very few institutions using computerized admission system, most institutions are still using manual file process of admission system. However, the major task is to determine weather a candidate is qualify or not based on the ordinary level (O’level) results requirements, the qualifying examination result cut off mark for  their course of choice and other determinant factors.
In this paper we describe the design of fuzzy expert system (FES) for evaluation of candidate’s credentials and every other determinant factor for admitting students. Also, the system reduces the rigour of the candidate sortlisting and minimizes the level of subjectivity in decision making.
