Sabha DTU

View Project

Clubs are an integral part of campus community and with co-op, students often don’t have classes during the semester to stay connected. While observing the disconnect between clubs and students, we decided to create a medium to efficiently facilitate student-club interaction.

Okay so, a quick story?

My first day as a college student, and I was all ready to join the music society of DTU, something I had desired since my school days. I was confused as to whom to reach out to, how to catch up, and where to be to get a chance to apply for the music society.

The Reason? SEA OF MESSAGES on uncountable number of WhatsApp Groups, none of them being official, carrying odds of being spam/faux. As you can guess, YES, I missed out on the opportunity for a number of societies because of the lack of information about them in the first place.

What is the need?‍

Thinking of student perspective

Considering students who wish to stay away from extracurriculars, an applicant rate of less than 5% is still a point of worry, for the efficient function of societies, when they are playing such important parts in building industry level soft skills.

The Problem : Why is there a gap?

Cards act as the primary interaction between any user and interactive application.

Quicker Search & Accessibility

Solving the main message traffic issue

Search optimization for college portals is crucial as over 70% of students express challenges finding relevant clubs and events, hindering their participation (CollegeData).
Enhancing search tools can significantly boost engagement, leading to higher involvement in extracurricular activities, which positively impacts academic success and personal growth (Honor Society).

Quicker search results save time and improve major cognitive load.

What else?

Along with search optimization, encouraging participation is also important, as freshers often hesitate to explore societies that are the perfect fit for them.

The Final Outcome?

Time for the tailored User Interface

Final Words

In the end, it's all about learning & making it better.

This short conceptual project is in progress to be approved by the Delhi technological administration and be useful to over 15,000 students, and hopefully many more soon!
