NPTEL Tracker is a full-stack web application built to help students in India manage their progress in NPTEL online courses. NPTEL is a government-backed platform run by the Indian Institutes of Technology and IISc that offers university-level courses in engineering, science, and humanities, granting certificates based on combined assignment and exam performance. The application lets you add and manage your NPTEL courses, storing details like course duration in an organized dashboard. You can record assignment marks for a course and check automatically whether your running assignment score meets the eligibility threshold required to sit for the final exam. This saves students from having to do the calculation manually or wait until the end to discover they did not qualify. The core feature is a final score predictor. NPTEL weighs assignment marks at 25% and the final exam at 75%. You enter your expected or actual exam score out of 100, and the app converts it to the 75-point scale, adds your 25-point assignment contribution, and gives you a combined score out of 100. Based on that combined score, it predicts which certificate category you would receive: not eligible, successfully completed, elite, elite with silver, or elite with gold. These correspond to the actual certificate tiers NPTEL awards. The project's stated purpose is to simplify course tracking, help students monitor eligibility as they go, and give them an early estimate of the certificate they are on track to earn, so they can plan their study effort accordingly rather than finding out only after the exam. The README does not describe the technical architecture in detail beyond calling it a full-stack application built with JavaScript. Future improvements listed include a course analytics dashboard, performance graphs and visualization, certificate download support, a notification system, and enhanced user profile management, but the README does not indicate which of these are already built versus planned.
