PGSEM Electives Allocation System

A course elective preference collection and allocation system built for the Post-Graduate Program in Software Enterprise Management (PGSEM) at the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIM-B).

Students submit prioritized course preferences through a web interface. The allocation engine assigns courses using a multi-factor ranking algorithm that considers seniority, course priority, and CGPA.
