abstract
It is undeniable that expert system application is gaining popularity. Advancement in computer technology has influence the development in many other fields to improve their system in line with the advanced technology nowadays. Merit is important for all students especially for hostel selection in every year . In Portal Pelajar UniSZA, there is a section for merits calculation but it is seems to be dysfunctional as there are no any update of student’s merit. Thus, students are not able to view their previous and current merits, they are clueless if the merit were given or not after joining University’s Program/Activity, and how much is the merit for each participant.
Other than that, students are not able to view their curriculum involvement and activity designation throughout the whole year in UniSZA. This will come to a problem for hostel selection which need a total merits of each particular student in order to accept their hostel application, followed by a few requirement to eligible for hostel placement. With E-merit system using rule-based techniques, it consists of all curriculum involvement by each student, the calculation of merits, level of achievement ( National or University), and total merits. In order to eligible for hostel placement, student’s current merits are count, followed by conditions that need to be fulfilled before students can successfully get a placement. If the condition were not fulfilled, the application are not success. After a certain period (example: 3 weeks after the application date closed), system will notified the status of application whether they are eligible for hostel placement or not. The integrity for selection of hostel placement is improved a lot since there is a prove, a calculation of merits that student can check by itself.

iNTRODUCTION
Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin has three main campus with 10,000 students in total. The placement of hostel for student is very limited making all students competes with each other to successfully get the placement. In order to get the place in UniSZA’s hostel, there are conditions that have been set and need to be fulfilled by student which will be check by UniSZA Hostel Department. The conditions counted are the club status (active members), total merit score, result of the semester and seven other policy priorities. These seven policy priorities are special case where if students is verified for one of the policy, students can automatically get a placement in Hostel.
For example, one of the policy is the first year student of degree and diploma, they will automatically get the placement without need to fulfil the conditions above. Currently, the involvement in uniform body and result of the semester will not face a problem but the calculation of total merit score is not efficient. Thus, the “e-Merit system” with rule base technique has been introduced to develop in order to overcome the problem.

METHODOLOGY
TechniqueRule-based systems are a relatively simple model that can be adapted to any number of problems. As with any 'system, a rule-based system has its strengths as well as limitations that must be considered before deciding if it's the right technique to use for a given problem |
result
Conclusion
As a conclusion, Rule Based Technique is the most suitable method to use in developing the system. Rule Based technique can store all the rules in ‘working memory’ which means all the requirement to get successfully get into hostel placement can be stored in rule based algorithm.
