## Overview

This Django application manages student registrations: staff can register, browse/search, inspect, edit, and delete student records, review dashboard statistics, and export the records to Excel. Requests are routed into the student views; forms validate registration data before saving, while views query the student model for management and reporting. The configured MySQL database persists records. The README is empty, and URL, model, and admin source were not sampled, so some routing and persistence detail is inferred from the project structure and view code.

Main entry points: [`students/views.py`](https://github.com/mullanabirasool/student-management-system/blob/main/students/views.py) (Student workflows), [`students/models.py`](https://github.com/mullanabirasool/student-management-system/blob/main/students/models.py) (Student records), [`students/urls.py`](https://github.com/mullanabirasool/student-management-system/blob/main/students/urls.py) (Student routes), [`config/urls.py`](https://github.com/mullanabirasool/student-management-system/blob/main/config/urls.py) (Project routes)
