This paper details the development of web-based student support system which is known as Postgraduates Information System (PGIS). The system was developed to contend with some of the constraints of manual input. The current system utilizes Microsoft Excel which carries several disadvantages such as lack of control, susceptible to human error, and prone to data inconsistency. A Modified Waterfall Model was the methodology used for this project as the scale of this system was not too large and rather straightforward. This system was developed using Adobe Photoshop, NetBeans IDE, MySQL Server and Apache Tomcat. The system was tested using functional testing and usability test. From the tests conducted, the feedbacks were positive except for some minor adjustments to be made in managing faculties and programs. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
