Mitra Employability Portal: AI-Assisted Employability Training and Assessment Platform

Getting from college into a job is more competitive than it used to be, so preparing for placements has become a real part of a student's journey. Beyond their degree subjects, students are expected to build aptitude, reasoning, communication, coding, resume-writing, interview and domain skills. The trouble is that the resources and tests for all of this sit on different platforms, which makes a step-by-step routine hard to follow. The MITRA Employability Portal is being built as one place that supports students through placement preparation. It offers videos, notes and study material, followed by topic-wise Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) tests and full assessments. The Training module covers quantitative aptitude, logical ability, verbal ability, reasoning ability, resume building, interview preparation, coding and domain-specific knowledge. The Assessment module offers both proctored and non-proctored tests. Proctored tests use camera monitoring, tab-switch detection and third-person detection; a student gets three warnings, after which the test is locked for 24 hours. Students can also upload their own question content, and the portal pulls the questions out of it so they can build a customized MCQ test. A Psychometric module adds one more way of assessing students. Administrators can manage study materials, question sets, scheduled tests, student performance and reports. Overall, the system aims to give students a structured, flexible and centralized environment for improving their placement readiness.
