Abstract

Preparing for campus placements can be a confusing and time-consuming process. Students have to use different platforms for things like practice tests, study materials, talking to people, and getting updates from the administration. This is not a waste of time, but it also makes it harder for students to be productive and clear about what they need to do when they are getting ready for their careers. To make things better, we made something called HirePrep. It is a platform that brings together all the things students need to do to get ready for campus placements. HirePrep has important parts, including tests, managing resources, tracking progress, sending notifications, and controls for the administration. We used React to make the front end of the platform look nice and work well. Django and Spring Boot are used for the end. We use PostgreSQL to keep all the data safe and sound. The way HirePrep is built makes it easy to add things and scale up. Each part of the platform works independently. The other parts are communicating with each other using special codes. This makes the platform more stable and able to handle a lot of users. We also added a chatbot that uses intelligence to give students help when they need it. The chatbot is really good at understanding what students are asking. Gives the right answers most of the time. HirePrep shows that using small services can work well in schools and universities. It also gives an example of how to build a platform that can be used by a lot of people.
