 Abstract

The recruitment and placement process in educational institutions is often managed manually through
emails, WhatsApp groups, and spreadsheets, leading to inefficiencies, communication gaps, and data
management challenges. The Placement Management System is a database-driven solution designed to
streamline and automate the entire placement process, enhancing coordination between students, placement
officers, and recruiters.

This system provides a centralized platform where students can register, upload their resumes, and track
job opportunities in real-time. Placement officers can manage student data, track applications, and
communicate with companies seamlessly. Recruiters, in turn, can post job openings, review candidate
profiles, and schedule interviews, reducing manual effort and improving decision-making.

The Placement Management System is developed using a robust Database Management System (DBMS),
ensuring secure and efficient data storage, retrieval, and processing. The system employs a web-based
interface built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, while backend functionalities are handled using Python
and FastAPI. The database is structured to support efficient queries, ensuring quick access to student records
and job listings.

By eliminating the reliance on unstructured communication methods such as WhatsApp and Gmail, this
system enhances transparency, minimizes data redundancy, and ensures timely updates for all stakeholders.
The Placement Management System ultimately improves the efficiency of the recruitment workflow,
making the placement process more organized and effective for educational institutions.
