Exam Syllabus Progress Tracker Android App

SyllabusTrack is an Android app that turns "how much syllabus is left?" from a gut feeling into a number: every subject breaks into chapters with exam weightage tags, chapters are ticked off as they are finished, and the dashboard shows overall progress, a countdown to the exam and a daily study streak. A stats screen charts hours studied per week and lists revision topics due, so preparation stays ahead of the calendar instead of behind it. It ships with complete Kotlin source, local database, documentation and the viva kit. Suitable for B.E./B.Tech final-year projects in Computer Science,

The problem

Students preparing for board exams and entrance tests usually track their syllabus in their heads — or on a notebook page that goes stale in a week. The result is familiar: high-weightage chapters discovered unfinished two weeks before the exam, revision piled onto already-full days, and no honest answer to "am I on track?" SyllabusTrack makes progress visible and countable. Each subject holds its chapter list with High/Medium/Low weightage tags drawn from the exam blueprint; tapping a chapter done moves the subject's progress bar and the overall ring the same instant. The dashboard pairs that with a live countdown to the exam date and a streak counter that rewards showing up daily. A stats screen renders the week's study hours as bars and keeps a "revision due" queue so finished chapters actually get revised. Everything is stored locally on the phone — no account, no server needed for the core loop — which keeps the build focused, offline-first and genuinely demoable in a viva.

How it works

  1. The student creates an exam profile: exam name, date and target score.
  2. Subjects are added with their chapter lists; each chapter gets a weightage tag (High/Medium/Low) from the exam blueprint.
  3. On the subject screen the student taps chapters done as they finish them; progress bars and the dashboard ring update immediately.
  4. The dashboard shows the countdown, overall completion and per-subject progress at a glance.
  5. Study sessions are logged (or timed), feeding the weekly hours chart and the day streak.
  6. The revision queue surfaces chapters whose revision interval has elapsed, ordered by urgency.
  7. Stats screen combines hours, streak and revision status into one weekly review the student can act on.

Project features

  • [Chapter-level progress tracking] Every subject expands into chapters; tapping a chapter done updates subject and overall progress instantly.
  • [Exam-weightage tags] Chapters carry High/Medium/Low tags so high-marks topics are visually prioritized in the list.
  • [Exam countdown] A live countdown card to the configured exam date with the target score, always visible on the dashboard.
  • [Overall progress ring] A single ring showing total syllabus completion across subjects, with the week's gain noted underneath.
  • [Study streak] Consecutive-day tracking with the longest streak recorded — the gentle pressure that keeps daily study alive.
  • [Weekly hours chart] Bar chart of hours studied per day of the week, entered or timed per session.
  • [Revision-due queue] Finished chapters resurface on a schedule (overdue / due tomorrow / due in 3 days) so revision isn't forgotten.
  • [Offline-first storage] All data lives in the on-device database; the app works fully without internet.

What is included

  • Complete Kotlin Android app source code
  • Room database schema with seed data (sample exam, subjects, chapters)
  • Dashboard, subject-detail and stats screens as designed
  • Revision reminder scheduling
  • Project report PDF (problem, requirements, architecture, schema, testing)
  • PPT presentation for final review
  • Viva Q&A preparation document (Room, MVVM, WorkManager, offline-first design)

Limitations & prerequisites

  • Single-device use — there is no cloud sync or multi-device account as shipped (listed as future scope).
  • Study hours are logged by the student (or a simple timer); the app cannot verify actual studying.
  • Weightage tags are entered from the exam blueprint by the student; the app does not fetch official syllabi.
  • Revision intervals use a fixed schedule per tag; adaptive spaced-repetition tuning is future scope.
  • Reminder notifications need the app installed with notification permission granted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it need the internet?

No. The core loop — chapters, progress, countdown, streak, reminders — is fully offline-first on the device database. Sync is a listed future extension.

How is "overall progress" computed?

Each chapter counts equally within its subject by default; subjects average into the overall ring. The report documents the formula and the weightage-tag rationale.

Can it handle two exams at once?

The build supports one active exam profile with full stats; switching profiles is supported, and multi-exam dashboards are future scope.

How do revision reminders work?

Each finished chapter gets a next-revision date from its weightage tag's interval; WorkManager fires a local notification when it falls due, and the queue shows overdue items first.

What does the stats screen show?

Daily study hours as a bar chart, the current and longest streak, and the revision-due queue — the three numbers a weekly review needs.

Is this project suitable for a final-year project?

Yes — for Computer Science, IT and mobile development programs. It demonstrates Android UI, Room persistence, MVVM architecture, background scheduling and data visualization in a genuinely useful app. Suitable for B.E./B.Tech final-year projects in Computer Science, IT and mobile application development.
