Notes

• The project is a terminal application, not a web app or GUI app.
• The code uses match statements, so Python 3.10+ is required.
• The repository already includes main.spec, which can be used with PyInstaller to build an executable.

2. Open the Student Menu to register or edit student data.
3. Open Course information to find the target university, faculty, and program.
4. Register the exam/application details.
5. Use the statistics report to review total applicants and total fees.
