Automates the process of filling up feedback form in ERP for IIT KGP students

fERP, stands for Feedback-ERP, is an automation extension that streamlines the process of providing feedback on the IIT Kharagpur ERP system to courses and professors.

It offers three feedback types - positive, neutral & neutral - and two convenient modes to suit your preferences:

Cascading Mode (Default):
- Utilize the same feedback type, you chose, across all forms
- Automatically fill and submit the next form after previous form is submitted
- Skip any forms you've already submitted, focusing only on the remaining ones

Selective Mode:
- Customize the feedback type for each individual form
- Fill the captcha and submit the form (auto/manual) at your own pace
- Choose the order in which you want to complete the forms

Other subtle features:
- The extension also has following subtle features, which are more likely to be ignored, but are tightly integrated into the extension with a lot of efforts.
- Fills the captcha, submits the feedback form (in case of cascade mode - repeats, until all forms are submitted)
- Automatically downloads the admit card after all the forms are submitted using cascade mode
- Form can be submitted by pressing Enter key after typing captcha in manual mode
- Re-fills the form with previously given feedback type, if wrong captcha was filled
- Bypass confirmation pop-ups, which appear everytime a form is submitted
- Invoking a feedback type randomises the choice of available options

Simplify the tedious task of providing feedback on ERP just to get your end-sem admit card - with fERP. Its intuitive modes and time-saving features make it an indispensable tool for IIT Kharagpur students. Show less

MFTP is a Python-based service developed to send emails for every notification posted to the IIT Kharagpur Internship and Placement portal.
The main goal of MFTP is to ensure students never miss critical notices or deadlines from potential recruiters by having each notification automatically emailed to them in real-time.
It works by either running as a background service on Linux or via a scheduled cron job. It scrapes and monitors the IITKGP placement portal for new notifications.
Whenever a new notice is posted, MFTP will immediately prepare an email with the notification content and send it out to the configured email list of students within 1 minute.
For sending emails, MFTP can integrate with SMTP servers directly or use the Gmail API. Users can specify which email delivery method and credentials should be used.
Emails are sent in a timely manner to help ensure no last minute placement opportunities or application deadlines are missed by students subscribed to the service. Show less
