INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction to project:

VSIT PLACEMENT APP is designed for Vidyalankar School of Information

Technology placement cell, with this app student can register and login to the app
to know the campus interviews available in the college and if they are eligible or not.

This app allows students to keep a record of all the upcoming events
related to placement and to keep a track record of their performance as well.

The app also displays the personal as well as the academic details of
a particular student to the TPO

The VSIT PLACEMENT APP includes features like:

• The TPO need not take any effort to choose students manually who are eligible
and who are interested as this app allows students to show their interest if they are
eligible for any particular company.

Student will also be able to get notification about upcoming events being
organized by Placement Committee.

• This app will be push notification enabled.

• This app will also have aptitude questions for the students.

•If an event is going to take place students can set a remainder of the event.

7
1.2 Background:

This app has two different categories of users:

1. TPO

2. Students

This app has a login page for all these users.

It also has a registration page which is normally for students to register

themselves and then login.

Every user can use this app just after logging in without login no one
is allowed to enter the app.

This app also has the feature of OTP verification to verify the user.

After logging into the app the first screen the user will see is NEWS on which
the news about the upcoming companies and events are shown.

Then on the next screen which is PROFILE, students can view their profile,
delete it and update it with the full details such as personal, educational details and
achievements.

And then on the next screen, the list of companies, their eligibility criteria and
agreement details are shown and if the students who are eligible for particular
company and who are interested to go for placement can upload their details to the
TPO.

Then there is a screen for Aptitude tests in which students are able to give
mock tests and prepare for the upcoming companies. And on the same screen
students can view their score of already given tests and can give the retest.

Now for TPO, they can view student details, upload news and events,
add upcoming companies for campus placements.

8
1.3 Objectives:

 To save the time from manually selecting the students based on

eligibility criteria.

 To update the student’s personal and curriculum details on their own.

 To retrieve the eligibility students list automatically in excel sheet.

1.4.1 Purpose:

 Placement Officer can easily collect the student’s detail’s and approve the
details provided by them.

 As it is an online android application, communication with Training and
Placement Officer (TPO) is an easy task.

 Instead of short listing manually, eligible students list can be
retrieved automatically in excel sheet by the TPO

 Students can give aptitude test in the app and get their scores, instead
of downloading another app for it.

1.4.2 Scope:

As this Application doesn't requires any special Hardware and it is very

User friendly student can download it in their Smartphone freely and use it.

So this Application has a great scope as it has a great social impact.

9
1.4.3 Applicability (Feasibility study):

Before the development of VSIT placement cell Place, we did a feasibility

study, We understood the background and the needs of the project before
starting the development.

We understood and jotted down the goals and requirements. We had

discussion on every requirement and project goal. Through these discussions,
we could eliminate the requirements that were not feasible with the available
resources.

We compared our system with the existing systems with the purpose of
understanding which requirements are possible and which are not possible. Such
comparisons helped us in understanding the system better.

The tools that were used for the development were either free of cost or at
a lesser price. This eased up the budget cost of the project.

SURVEY OF TECHNOLOGIES
XML:

In computing, Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that

defines set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable
and machine-readable.

It is a textual data format with strong support via Unicode for different
human languages.

Java:

Java is a general-purpose computer-programming language that is

concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as
few implementation dependencies as possible.

It is intended to let application developers “write-once run anywhere” (WORA),

meaning that compiled Javacode can run on all platforms that support Java without
the need for recompilation.

JSON:

In computing, JavaScript Object Notation or JSON is an open –standard file

format that uses human-readable text to transmit data objects consisting of attribute-
value pairs and array data types.

It is a very common data format used for asynchronous browser–server

communication, including as a replacement for XML in some AJAX –style systems.

REQUIREMENTS AND ANALYSIS
3.1 Problem definition:

This project is aimed at developing an android application for the Training and
Placement Department of the college.

It reduces the time consumption for doing every work related to placement
manually

The system is an android application that can be accessed throughout the

campus as well as outside the campus with proper login provided by the student
(user).

This system can be used as an application for the TPO of the college to
manage the student information with regards to placement.

Students can login and can upload their information in the form of a CV.

3.2 Requirement Specification:

This app needs student information like Name, Roll No, E-mail, Contact
Details, Course, Educational details, etc., by using which students are able know the
companies for which they are eligible and can practice aptitude for the placements
and an do much more.

12
3.3 PLANING AND SCHEDULING

3.3.1 Gantt chart.

A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart, developed by Henry Gantt in the

1910s, that illustrates a project schedule .Gantt charts illustrates the start and
finish dates of the terminal elements and summary elements of a project.
Terminal elements and summary elements compromise the work breakdown
structure of the project. Modern Gantt charts show the dependency (i.e.
precedence network) relationships between activities. Gantt charts can be
used to show current schedule status using percent-complete shadings

Gantt charts can be used for scheduling generic resources, so as well

as their use in project management, they can also be used in scheduling
production processes and employee roistering. In the latter context, they
may also be known as time bar schedules.

13
3.3.2 Model:

Software process model deals with the model which we are going to use for
the development of the project. There are many software process models available
but while choosing it we should choose it according to the project size that is
whether it is industry scale project or big scale project or medium scale project.
Accordingly the model which we choose should be suitable for the project as the
software process model changes the cost of the project also changes because the
steps in each software process model varies. This software is build using the
waterfall mode. This model suggests work cascading from step to step like a
series of waterfalls. It consists of the following steps in the following manner.

Waterfall model:

14
Analysis Phase:

To attack a problem by breaking it into sub-problems. the objective of

analysis is to determine exactly what must be done to solve the problem.

Typically, the system’s logical elements (its boundaries, processes,

and data) are defined during analysis.

Requirement specification:

All possible requirements of the system to be developed are captured in

this phase and documented in a requirement specification document.

Design Phase:

The objective of design is to determine how the problem will be solved.

During design the analyst’s focus shifts from the logical to the physical.

Data elements are grouped to form physical data structures,

screens, reports, files and databases.

15
3.4 SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:

Software Requirements:

 Android OS 4.0 or Higher.


 Android Studio.

 Firebase.

 One signal.

Operating Systems:

 OS Android

16
3.5 Preliminary product description:

This application will help the student enter their details related to placement in
the app. Earlier, student need to be present in the campus for filling the placement
form.

With the introduction of this app student can fill their placement form from anywhere

It reduces man power, time consumption, electricity and room allocation.

Students can give aptitude test in the app itself instead of referring other sites for it.
Students can view important notice related to placement in the app.

TPO can login and view the students interested in the

upcoming campus placement. And send notification related to placement in the
app itself instead of wasting time in printing a notice for it.
