This project aims to meet the requirements of NUST-SEECS' annual open house event, where Final Year students showcase their projects to industry and academia guests. The goal is to create a comprehensive management platform that efficiently assigns projects to evaluators based on their preferences and specialty areas.

• Guests (Evaluators)
  • Each evaluator has a dedicated account where they can set preferences, including preferred project categories and specialty areas.
• FYP Groups
  • Final Year Project groups are provided with accounts to manage their project details, including assigning keywords.
• Admin Account
  • The admin account has the authority to set the physical location of each FYP project on the demonstration floor.

• Projects are randomly assigned to guests based on matching keywords and evaluator preferences.
• Each evaluator is assigned to evaluate between 3-5 projects.

• Evaluators are shown the location of their assigned projects.
• They can rate each project on a scale of 1-10, and the evaluation results are visible only to the admin.

• Students can view the number of evaluators who have assessed their project but do not have access to individual evaluator scores.

• The platform is developed using Laravel on the server side.

• Any language or framework can be used on the client side.

• User authentication is implemented for guests, FYP groups, and admins.

• A secure database is used to store project details, evaluator preferences, and evaluation scores.

The project is successfully implemented, providing a seamless experience for both evaluators and students during the open house event. The combination of Laravel for the server side and flexibility in choosing the client-side language or framework allows for efficient development and customization.
