Query regarding UCP project

[Yask Srivastava]

Hello, 
I have already submitted my draft proposal... But I still wanted to clear this out so that I know exactly what you are looking for.

1. In the Results section, how should we feed the data into our database?
Like, should there be a manual way of inserting each marks entry for each student? (May not be practical for large number of students)

Or, should there be an option to simply upload the PDF results obtained from the university and just display it in the result section?
But in this approach we won't be able to perform operations such as sorting the results by marks, auto calculation of class average.. etc?

2. Who should have the authority to add/remove/edit jobs in recruitment section? A particular student (as in my college, called placement co-oridinator), or a faculty member or someone from the company?

3. In the front page, how should we organize different sections (Discussions, recruitment,..etc) in tabular manner (You can refer to my mockup I posted in my draft proposal), or Facebook like feed (Showing the latest things first)..?

Hey Yask

1. In the Results section, how should we feed the data into our database?
Like, should there be a manual way of inserting each marks entry for each student? (May not be practical for large number of students)

Or, should there be an option to simply upload the PDF results obtained from the university and just display it in the result section?
But in this approach we won't be able to perform operations such as sorting the results by marks, auto calculation of class average.. etc?

The university would upload results in PDF or HTML format - generally they would upload whatever they usually prepare for their website. If this is the case, we just display this and implement content search.

You may also have a predefined HTML or spreadsheet format defined for the university to upload results. If this is the case, the results would be searchable by name or roll number. Sorting by marks, auto calculation of class avg, etc. are not required features.

 

2. Who should have the authority to add/remove/edit jobs in recruitment section? A particular student (as in my college, called placement co-oridinator), or a faculty member or someone from the company?

Users with administrator or moderator role should be able to do this.

 

3. In the front page, how should we organize different sections (Discussions, recruitment,..etc) in tabular manner (You can refer to my mockup I posted in my draft proposal), or Facebook like feed (Showing the latest things first)..?

I would prefer the feed format, where discussions, events, news, etc. are shown chronologically.
