Abstract:
The increasing advantages of automated systems now are at the
highest position as a result many manual processes are automated.
Since the automated system is in demand nowadays, educational
infrastructures like colleges are making their manual or semi-automated
system to function completely on a computer.
One such system that concerns a college is the placement system's
automation. The project aims at developing a web application for the
placement cell.
Placement Management System provides two distinct modules for
students and placement officers.
It enables students to register online and upload their academic and
personal details. They will have their portals to update information as
necessary and can view recent and upcoming job postings on their
dashboard.
Whereas, the Placement Officers will be able to utilize it to manage
the student data as well as the hiring company's data concerning the
available jobs.
The benefits of the system will be to provide enhanced facilities and
assemble all the placement related tasks carried out on various platforms to
a single application.
This will give both the location officer and students an accurate
channel and reduces repetitious work that has got to be administered.
Additionally, email alerts can be provided to students in case if any
new activity takes place which ensures that no important announcement is
missed.
Introduction:
In today’s date campus recruitment is common in all colleges yet
the drive brings a lot of stress to students as well as placement officers.
Various software and other sector companies are conducting campus
selections for selecting merit candidates. When campus selections are
conducted the students are to submit their details to the concerned
placement officer to apply for the hiring process. This routine process is
maintained manually, like gathering student details and shortlisting eligible
students based on company criteria. Traditionally, all important information
is displayed on the notice board as a result many students are not able to get
the information within the time limit. Moreover, students manually submit
their details, thus there are chances of errors or students failing to update
their information on time. Hence, there is a requirement to computerize the
system to reduce the chances of error and provide more efficiency. The
admin module plays an important role in our project. They provide
validation of students’ registration and updating of details. The admin will
be able to see the students registered for any particular company and their
status.
Existing Systems:
In the PLACEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM existing system
lead to many problems. Problems in the existing system are:
A. Within the existing system, maximum work goes manually hence, is an
error-prone system. It takes time for any changes.
B. This big problem is that the searching; sorting and updating of the
scholar data and no any notification method available for giving
information to the scholar except the bulletin board.
C. The proposed system gets automated in the online registration all the
user, activation of the user and deactivation of the user, personalization to
the user, resources to be provided online, communication between the
users, and provides online feedback.
D. The admin can see the user information which he will validate, generate
the student list based on company criteria.
E. Company details are often provided to the user, searching and sorting are
often done, and reports to be generated.
F. Alumni data to be maintained. Overall, all the method of the training and
placement department is automated.
G. The earlier system is not computerized. All transactions within the
system are done manually maintaining records
H. The management and every one the departments that are completing this
job using manually makes the work more complicated and tedious most of
the days.
I. Within the earlier system placement officer has got to collect student
details for placements. Approving those student details takes ample time.
Placement officer and students need to consult one another directly if any
information is required.
J. Here checking out eligible candidates takes much time. And sometimes a
few candidates' details may be missed.
Problem Definition:
Placement Cell plays a very vital role in every college as one of
the reasons any student selects or aims for a college is because of their
placement record. An efficient placement cell requires an appropriate and
advanced management system. The challenges encountered by the current
system are that the student's data is stored using some applications and the
placement officer sorts them manually so, filtering students as per
eligibility criteria is a difficult task as there will be lots of students in the
organization. However, the most prominent complication faced by
traditional placement systems is maintaining and managing records. The
major issues faced are:
1) In the existing system, maximum work requires human intervention.
Humans do all the work.
2) Synchronization problem.
3) Since files are not stored in hierarchical format hence searching data is
problematic.
4) Errors due to manual intervention.
Proposed System:
The proposed system consists of two major modules namely
Student and Admin; each module has a different set of tasks to be done. It
is more efficient and cost-effective. The system can overcome all the
limitation of the existing system, for example, student's data is maintaining
in the database, it gives more security to information, guarantees
information accuracy, decreases paperwork and save time, The Placement
Management System is developed as an effort to form a record of company
and students by restricting such an outsized database thereto to a specific
class of students or company. The application assists the placement officer
to maintain the student data and sort them according to the percentage
criteria required for the company and student can review his/her data
overcoming the drawbacks of the existing system.. It facilitates the
placement officer to review the complete data, sort the data according to
the percentages, and delete unnecessary data.
The proposed system helps us achieve the following:
1) All the notices are provided on a single platform; this overcomes the
issue of missing important information.
2) The system can be linked to the exam cell to validate the academic
details updated by the students.
3) Sorting and searching for information as per requirement is much easier.
4) Functionalities such as automatic percentage and CGPA calculator can
help students eliminate errors
Data Flow Diagram:
A data flow diagram (DFD) is a graphical tool used to describe and
analyze the movement of data through a system by depicting the flow of
data, source or destination of data and the process that respond to change in
data. The DFD is one of the foremost tools employed by the system
analysis to model system components, that are:
1) System Process
2) Data Store
3) The information flow in the system
4) Any external entities that interact with the system.
Future Scope:
Though our project is itself matured enough still betterment is usually an
open door.
A. We can give more advance software for placement management
system including more facilities.
B. We can modify the project with a better approach with more graphics.
C. The back-up procedure can be comprised to make sure of the database
integrity.

Conclusion:
Presently our placement system appears to be quite user-friendly but it
needs to be more enhanced for it to be efficient according to present needs.
There are many features to the present system yet the most prominent
drawback to it is maximum human intervention in procedures. With this
Placement Management System, most of the TPO's time is saved. The
features of the system are often further enhanced in some ways. The
documentation that has enclosed can enable even an individual with
minimum knowledge to know it well. Our project is only a humble venture
to satisfy the needs to manage the placement work. Several user-friendly
coding methods have also been adopted. The project shall prove to be a
powerful package in satisfying all the requirement of placement officer as
well as students.
