Student Internship Tracking System

Government Engineering College (GEC) Dahod • Computer Science Department

A completely customized, centralized web platform connecting ambitious students with industry-leading internship opportunities instantly.

🚀 Key Features

👨‍🎓 For Students

• Advanced Profile Engineering: Build a technical profile linking directly to your GitHub, LeetCode, CodeForces, HackerRank, GeeksForGeeks, and LinkedIn.
• Intelligent File Uploads: Upload your PDF, DOC, or DOCX resumes securely. The engine validates the MIME type and safely caches it externally from the active database.
• Asynchronous Appplications (AJAX): Search and apply for active internships in real-time. The page never reloads!

🛡️ For Administrators

• CRUD Metrics Dashboard: Full control over Internship Postings, User Access, and Live Applications status changes.
• Instant Resume Access: Download student PDF uploads directly from the dashboard matrix.
• Dynamic Table Routing: Approving or rejecting a candidate instantly fires status sweeps throughout the entire framework.

⚙️ Installation & Setup Deployment

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/PAVAN2005-LAB/intership_tracker.git
   cd intership_tracker

2. Configure Global Server Environment

   • Download and install XAMPP.
   • Move the repository file into your htdocs directory (or run locally using PHP's internal server).

3. Database Injection

   • Open XAMPP Control Panel and start Apache and MySQL.
   • Open http://localhost/phpmyadmin in your browser.
   • Create a blank database manually if needed, or simply let the system auto-generate it.
   • Import the database.sql script to instantly construct the architecture & tables!

4. Launch Application

   # Run the local server engine
   php -S localhost:8000

   Navigate to http://localhost:8000/index.php.
