The problem
A final-year student applies to dozens of companies in a placement season, each with its own deadline, test link, interview schedule and portal. Students track this across screenshots, chat messages and memory — and the cost of one missed deadline is a lost opportunity that never returns. Recruiters don't send reminders; the application simply closes. A deadline tracker centralizes the chaos: every application with its countdown, stage in the pipeline, and a calendar where deadlines sit in time context, so nothing closes silently. The design goal is daily-use simplicity — the whole season glanceable in one screen, updating an application taking seconds, not minutes.
Adds applications and reviews urgent deadlines each day.
Follow the working sequence
How it works
- Applications are stored as records: company, role, days-to-deadline, pipeline stage and notes.
- The dashboard aggregates the records into stat cards and filters deadlines within 3 days into the urgent list, sorted by countdown.
- Each urgent row shows a day-count badge, company logo chip, role, exact closing date and the student's note.
- The applications table renders every record with a stage pill; sub-3-day deadlines render in red.
- The calendar view builds the current month's grid and places a deadline marker on each matching date.
- The add-application modal appends a record; dashboard, table and calendar all re-render from the single store.
- Deadlines are computed relative to the current date, so the demo's countdowns are always realistic.
Tech stack:
- HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6)
- Single-file app — runs fully offline
- CSS grid calendar rendering
- Relative-date countdown logic
- No external libraries, no network calls
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Application type | Personal dashboard, single-page web app |
| Demo delivery | Single HTML file, runs offline in any modern browser |
| Urgency threshold | Deadlines within 3 days (configurable, design target) |
| Pipeline stages | 5 stages with color-coded badges |
| Calendar | Current month grid, deadlines auto-placed |
| Demo dataset | 8 applications across all pipeline stages |
| Add-application fields | 4 (company, role, deadline, stage) |
Project features
- [Urgent-deadlines view] Deadlines closing within 3 days surface automatically, sorted by countdown with bold day-counts and red highlighting.
- [Dashboard stat cards] Total applications, urgent count, in-interview count and offers received — the season at a glance.
- [Applications table] Every application with company, role, deadline, color-coded pipeline stage pill and free-text notes.
- [Deadline calendar] The current month rendered as a grid with each deadline marked on its date, in Indian time context.
- [One-second adding] A compact modal (company, role, deadline, stage) adds an application and re-renders all views consistently.
- [Pipeline stages] To apply, Applied, Test scheduled, Interview and Offer — each with its own badge color.
- [Recent activity feed] Timeline of season events (tests cleared, links received, offers) for context alongside the numbers.
What is included
- Working placement deadline tracker web app
- Complete source code with comments
- Project report PDF (background, design rationale, data model, screens)
- PPT presentation for final review
- Viva Q&A preparation document (web concepts, date logic, state management)
Limitations & prerequisites
- The demo keeps data in memory; a production version needs localStorage or a backend for persistence across sessions.
- No browser notifications — deadline reminders before closing are listed as future scope.
- Single-user design; counsellor or placement-cell shared views are out of scope.
- Deadlines are entered manually; no automatic import from company portals.
- Time handling assumes Indian Standard Time throughout.
- The calendar shows the current month only; month navigation is future scope.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this better than a spreadsheet?
It's built for the job: automatic urgency sorting, day-count badges, a visual calendar and one-glance stats — a spreadsheet needs manual formulas and constant upkeep to do the same.
What counts as "urgent"?
Any application whose deadline falls within 3 days. The threshold is a documented design choice and easy to change in the code.
Does it remind me before a deadline?
The demo surfaces urgency visually; push-style browser notifications are designed and listed as future scope in the report.
Can I track internships too?
Yes — the data model is company + role + deadline + stage, which fits internships, off-campus applications and even scholarship deadlines.
Where is my data stored?
In the demo, in memory for the session. The report documents the persistence upgrade path (localStorage, then a backend account).
Is this project suitable for a final-year project?
Yes — for Computer Science, IT and Web Development programs. It demonstrates UI design, date logic, state management and a tool students genuinely use. Suitable for B.E./B.Tech final-year projects in Computer Science, IT and Web Development.
