Uniport is a fully customizable portal for the universities to manage the campus recruitments seamlessly. Its a software as a service and is built with multi-tenant architecture isolated at the application level.

Managing campus recruitment is challenging for placement cell. At the peak of campus recruitment season, more than 50 companies visit the campus in a single day.

For every job profile, the placement team need to notify students about the opportunity. They might create a google form per job profile and capture the responses from the students. Typically this is done by sending batch emails, putting messages in the common university group, notice boards etc. One of the preliminary requirements here is to ensure that every person/branch eligible receives the job notification. Manually managing these tonnes of unorganized google forms and ensuring that everyone gets proper notifications, deadline reminders etc., is difficult.

Then comes the problem of enforcing deadlines and data authenticity. It's a matter of reputation for the college to ensure that whatever data they send to companies are accurate. To ensure it, the team often deploys a massive workforce to manually crosscheck the data of the applied students with the official records and ensure that everything is accurate.

Often to send the notification, group emails are used (like bee18@xyz.edu and bcs@xyz.edu). This approach unnecessarily clutters the inbox of those students who are not interested in hiring or are already out of the hiring process.

Enforcing intricate rules is very challenging. Take a look at the following placement policy rules:

• "A student can have at max three offers, then he/she shall be out of recruitment process."
• "If a student has got a job offer of > 20 LPA CTC, then he/she shall be out of the recruitment process."
• "A student shall apply for all companies of his/her domain, or he/she shall be out of recruitment process."

Imposing such rules manually is very difficult and cumbersome.

And the scary thing is that all the above problems of the university campus recruitment teams are getting worsened day by day with a growing number of students in a single batch and more companies visiting the campus!

So what's the solution? Presenting Uniport..... 🎓🎓

• Uniport allows universities to manage their campus placements seamlessly by digitizing and automating the workflow.
• It offers complete customizability to the university admins, and they can store whatever data they want and enforce filtering based on rules.
• Uniport offers granular access and allows admins to ensure complete authenticity and verified data is sent to the company.

Uniport is built using the following technologies. All of them are written in typescript, and MongoDB Query Language is used to write database queries.

1. Next.js
2. GraphQL
3. Node.js
4. Mongo DB

The code sample contains the following four modules:

• Frontend: Contains the NextJS frontend application
• Backend: Contains an express apollo GraphQL server
• Shared: Contains the common validators, LEGOs definitions etc which are used by both frontend and backend modules

Before proceeding further, ensure that you have Nodejs installed on your computer! In case you don't, you can download Nodejs from here. Also, install MongoDB locally or create a MongoDB instance on Atlas from here.

In packages/backend/ and packages/frontend/ directory there should have a file named .env.example. Before proceeding to the next step, you must make a .env file and fill in all the values mentioned. Alternately, you may add all these values in your .bashrc script too.

1. Run the following command to compile the code from typescript to javascript in all the three directories, and listen for subsequent changes in code.

yarn watch

2. Change directory to /packages/backend/, and start the Backend GraphQL server. It shall start the backend server at localhost:4201.

yarn dev

3. Change directory to /packages/frontend/, and start the Next.js server. It shall start the frontend server at localhost:3000.

yarn dev

🪐 Some core modules are not yet integrated to frontend. We shall deploy the project once they are complete.
