With the invent of Smartphone especially after the launch of Android OS which is free the popularity of using smartphone is very huge. Close to 60% user across the globe are using smartphones and the transaction are increasing day by day. Most of the users use native mobile application to browse the contents of the particular industry. Another way is to browse the contents is through web browser. But both have the limitation. The first one which is the native app, user need to download the app first and then they have to use it as per their requirement. This has major two disadvantages, one is it takes some space on local smartphone device and to operate it smoothly the network connection has to be strong. It is a very slow process to access this native app where only 2G or lesser bandwidth 3G network is available. The second approach which is through the web browsing has disadvantages as the user experience is not that great compared to native app. To overcome above limitations, Google had provided a solution through a term called as Progressive Web App (PWA) which gives you a rich experience just like native apps. You don’t require installing this PWA and can be operated through a splash screen. Our Paper majorly focuses on the building a progressive app for an educational system.
