Placement Portal

Placement Eligibility Portal is a compact but highly practical tool designed for college placement seasons. Its purpose is straightforward: once a student logs in, the system automatically displays all the companies they are eligible to interview for based on predefined criteria like CGPA, backlog count, branch, and year of study.

Instead of manually checking spreadsheets or trying to decode long eligibility lists shared by the placement cell, students get a clean, personalized dashboard showing only the opportunities that actually apply to them.

The goal is to reduce confusion, save time, and give every student a clear view of their placement options.

Purpose & Philosophy

This project was built to solve a very real college problem. During placement season, students often receive dozens of announcements, eligibility sheets, and notices — making it easy to miss opportunities they qualify for.

The philosophy behind Placement Eligibility Portal is:

Keep it simple
Keep it accurate
Keep it personalized

Students shouldn’t have to guess whether they’re eligible for a company. The app does that thinking for them.

The interface is intentionally minimal, presenting only the relevant information and avoiding unnecessary complexity.

Tech Stack & Architecture

The portal is built using a lightweight, modern stack:

Next.js (App Router)

Used for both frontend UI and backend logic. Server components handle data securely, while dynamic routes and API endpoints manage eligibility queries.

TypeScript

Provides strict type safety for company data, student models, and eligibility checks, ensuring accuracy throughout the application.

Simple Auth System

Students authenticate to access their personalized dashboard. Once logged in, the system loads their academic details and matches them against company requirements.
