During our course as aspiring software engineers, we have come across a number of problems that we aim to solve through our Final
Year Project. Firstly it has been analyzed that GPA is not a sole parameter to get an internship or a job; Despite working day and night to
get a good GPA, a student cannot secure a job. This has brought us to the fact that there is a gap between the courses being taught in the
Project institutions and the expertise the industry demands.
Summary

In addition to it, we have analyzed some problems at the end of industry as well; on every job opening, the job description contains the list
of technical skills an ideal candidate should have but the extent to which a candidate should be capable of contributing to the company’s
growth remains abstract. Due to this, the company gets loads of applications and interviews a large number of applicants. According to
our experience, an IT company in Pakistan conducts a written exam, 2 technical interviews, and an HR interview on average for a single
job hiring. And after hiring, the company still trains the new employee to get maximum output in the future. Such practices are actually
using up the company’s resources and not adding any value to its progress.

We aim to solve these issues through our e-learning and hiring platform. It would be first of its kind in Pakistan, targeting the IT industry.
The application will converge the 3 main actors of the industry; students,instructors, and recruiters. The project aims to build a community
of instructors who would pass on their expertise to the students through the medium of recorded video lectures, and practice material. This
will also develop a community of technically skilled people. Apart from this, it will also accompany the recruiter in hiring the right candidate
for their desired position by allowing them to tag a course from our application with a job posting and assess a candidate based on their
performance in an pre-modeled evaluation by our team. This will not only increase the probability of getting the right candidate but also
reduce the cost of searching for the right candidate.

2
 The application aims to achieve the following objectives:

● Refine the candidates for recruiters through our test model.

● Make the hiring process for the companies smooth and cost-effective.
● Create job-ready digital skills that empower students from anywhere and everywhere.
● Opportunity for instructors to reach out to maximum students and contribute to a growing community.
● Provide employment opportunities to the instructor.
● Provide diverse perspectives to students through speaker sessions from various industries and backgrounds.
● Leverage student connections.
● Provide a professional resume that will get students to hire.
Project ● Make student life easy by managing their placements and studies together.

Recruitment

“Earn From Learn” will be a website engineered using MERN stack technology. Our team will initially work on designing some necessary
UML diagrams for all the major actors involved in the application. Then we will move towards the development phase. Meanwhile, we will
be working on designing the database, and frontend of the website; we will ensure that the work is distributed in a way that every member
gets an equal opportunity to contribute and demonstrate their skills in the best manner. The Software Development Process followed
throughout the project will be a combination of iterative and incremental precisely Scrum. The progress of the project will be monitored
using Jira (Project Management Tool for agile Methodology).
Project
Implementatio We have planned to work on the features in the following way: At first, we will design the portal for the instructor where they can create
n Method their profile, upload lectures, and use all the necessary features. After this, we will work on the recruiter portal where the recruiter can post
(less than job openings, and tag courses with them among all the other functionalities. At last, the student portal will be developed where the student
2500 will be able to register for courses, and participate in our designed test-model to get hired by the recruiter. It will ensure that all the actors
characters) contribute in building a organic community.
