Might save you from the factories

What is BITSandPSes

A website aimed to help BITSians in finding their ideal PS station. Our attempt to save them from the factories.

BITSandPSes helps you look for your preferred PS Stations by providing a platform where you can find reviews and details about all that BITS offers. There are a set of parameters for everyone while making their preferences list. For e.g. location, area of work, last year cutoffs to name a few. As the list of stations is pretty high each year, the work of pulling together all of them in a sorted array becomes quite a tedious task. Apart from this, contacting many seniors and scraping dozens of websites makes the job even more cumbersome.

The Solution

Through this website, we aim to create a single domain for every student to get all the information and advice they would ever need while going through this process. The features we are currently working on ( and looking for contributors too ;) ) :

1. Live Search to go through the station list for every year and find what you are looking for.
2. Station specific pages shareable through url links, providing all the necessary information.
3. Discussion forum particular to every station page, so that people can connect and discuss from seniors.
4. Preference list generator. We will generate the preference list for you according to the priorities you set. Further customization as one wants.
5. A user interface that is intuitive for everyone. Completely mobile responsive and dynamic.
6. A database that updates itself automatically through crowd sourcing from oncoming traffic and content managers.
