Slide 3: Problem Statement & Objective
• Challenges in Traditional Placement Management:
o Manual tracking of student applications and company listings.
o Paper-based data storage leading to inefficiencies and errors.
o Lack of a centralized platform for students, companies, and placement officers.
o No real-time updates on job status or application results.
• Objectives of the System:
o Digitalize and centralize the placement process.
o Ensure a user-friendly experience for all stakeholders.
o Provide real-time status tracking for job applications.
o Improve security and authentication of users.
Slide 4: Requirement Gathering
• User Roles:
o Admin: Manages companies, job postings, and student approvals.
o Company Recruiter: Posts job listings and shortlists candidates.
o Student: Applies for jobs, uploads resume, and tracks applications.
• Functional Requirements:
o Secure user authentication.
o CRUD operations for job postings and student applications.
o Automated email notifications for job updates.
o Resume management and application tracking.
• Comparison with Existing Systems:
o Eliminates paperwork and inefficiencies.
o Centralized database ensures data consistency.
o Automated tracking vs. manual follow-ups.
Slide 5: System Architecture
• Three-Tier Architecture:
o Presentation Layer: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (UI & User Experience)
o Business Logic Layer: PHP (Processing requests, managing authentication &
access control)
o Data Layer: MySQL (Storing users, jobs, applications, and company data)
• Data Flow:
o Student → Requests job details → PHP processes request → MySQL retrieves &
updates data → UI displays results.
Slide 6: Detailed Analysis (Diagrams)
• ER Diagram:
o Entities: Users, Jobs, Applications, Companies, Admin.
o Relationships: One-to-Many (Company-Job), One-to-Many (Student-
Applications), Many-to-One (Admin-Users).
• DFD (Data Flow Diagrams):
o Level 0: User interacts with system.
o Level 1: Admin manages jobs, students apply, companies shortlist.
o Level 2: Detailed breakdown of job application process.
• UML Diagrams:
o Use Case Diagram: Student applies, Company posts jobs, Admin manages users.
o Activity Diagram: End-to-end workflow from job posting to selection.
Slide 7: System Design
• Database Schema:
o Tables: Users, Jobs, Applications, Companies, Admin.
o Columns & Constraints: UserID (Primary Key), JobID (Foreign Key), Email
(Unique Constraint), etc.
• Data Dictionary:
o Defines data fields, types, and relationships between tables.
• User Interface Screenshots:
o Student Dashboard: Shows available jobs, application status.
o Company Dashboard: Allows posting and managing job applications.
o Admin Panel: Controls user access, company approvals.
Slide 8: Features & Modules
• Admin Module:
o Manages user authentication and permissions.
o Reviews and approves company accounts.
o Generates placement reports.
• Student Module:
o Registers, uploads resumes, applies for jobs.
o Tracks application progress.
o Receives notifications for job updates.
• Company Module:
o Posts job openings, sets eligibility criteria.
o Views student applications and shortlists candidates.
o Schedules interviews via system notifications.
Slide 9: Testing & Security
• Testing Strategies:
o Unit Testing: Individual feature testing (Login, Job Posting, etc.).
o Integration Testing: Ensuring smooth interactions between modules.
o User Acceptance Testing: Checking usability and responsiveness.
• Security Implementations:
o Authentication: Secure login using hashed passwords (PHP bcrypt).
o SQL Injection Prevention: Using prepared statements in MySQL.
o Session Management: Prevent unauthorized access.
o Data Validation: Ensuring form inputs meet security standards.
Slide 10: Deployment & Future Scope
• Deployment Steps:
o Hosting on a live server with a domain name.
o Database setup: Remote MySQL connection.
o Security measures: HTTPS, SSL encryption.
• Future Enhancements:
o AI-driven job recommendations based on student profiles.
o Resume parsing for automated eligibility checks.
o Mobile app integration for on-the-go access.
o Chatbot for instant student-company interaction.
Slide 11: Conclusion & Demo
• Key Takeaways:
o Successfully developed a fully functional live Placement Management System.
o Automated student-job matching process for better efficiency.
o Implemented robust security measures.
• Live Demonstration: Screenshots of the system or video walkthrough.
Slide 12: References & Q/A
• References:
o Frameworks and tools used (HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, MySQL, Bootstrap, AJAX).
o Online resources and research papers on placement systems.
• Thank You!
• Open for Questions.
