Problem

Campus life is fast-paced and demanding. Students are constantly balancing academics, extracurricular activities, and personal commitments, which often leaves them with little time for everyday essentials. Tasks such as doing laundry, getting meals,become stressful because of tight schedules and the lack of convenient access to these services within campus. Many students are forced to rely on external vendors, which not only consumes additional time but also comes at a higher cost. This creates a recurring problem where students sacrifice either their productivity or their comfort just to manage routine necessities.

Solution

To address this, my idea is an On-Demand Campus Services App — a one-stop platform designed specifically for students. Through this app, students can order essential services such as laundry, food delivery,without disrupting their schedules. Meals can be delivered directly to their hostels or even served to them on campus, while laundry and other services can be scheduled with just a few taps. This system eliminates waiting time, reduces dependency on costly external vendors, and ensures that students can focus more on their academics and personal growth. Ultimately, the app provides convenience, affordability, and efficiency, making campus life smoother and more student-friendly.

 🚲 CampusRide: Bicycle & E-Scooter Rentals for Students

The Problem

Many college students, especially those from outside the city or state, don’t own vehicles. Public transport is either irregular, overcrowded, or not available inside campuses. Walking long distances daily between hostels, classes, libraries, and nearby markets is tiring and time-consuming. Students need an affordable, eco-friendly, and convenient mobility solution.

💡The Idea

CampusRide is a bicycle and e-scooter rental service made especially for college students. Using a simple mobile app or student ID card, users can unlock bicycles or scooters stationed around campus. They can ride them for short trips — from hostels to classrooms, the metro station, or nearby shops — and then drop them off at another CampusRide dock.

It’s like a student-focused Ola/Uber, but with eco-friendly vehicles.

🌍 Why It Works

 Affordable: Students pay a small hourly fee or monthly subscription.

Eco-Friendly: Promotes green transport, reducing campus traffic and pollution.

Convenient: Vehicles are always available on campus, no need to buy or maintain one.

Community-Focused: Designed only for students, making it safer and more trusted.

💰 Pricing Model (Profitable & Scalable)

Daily Rentals:

Bicycle – ₹80/day

E-Scooter – ₹250/day

💪🏻 Personal Motivation

 As a student, I’ve often seen classmates struggle with daily commuting inside and outside campus. Owning a vehicle is costly, and public transport doesn’t solve short-distance needs. With CampusRide, students get mobility freedom without financial burden, while also contributing to a greener campus.

CampusRide isn’t just transport — it’s freedom on two wheels. 🚲

The Problem
For every B.Tech student at our university, the daily campus shuffle is a familiar reality. You have a free hour and need a quiet place to work, but the hunt for an empty classroom begins. We spend valuable time walking up and down the floors of the Ecole building, checking every ECR (Ecole Class Room) and ELT (Ecole Lecture Theatre), only to find them locked, occupied, or reserved for a future class.

This isn't just an annoyance; it's a significant drain on our productivity. While this problem exists across campus—from the School of Law (SOL) to the School of Management (SOM)—it is a daily, high-friction experience for every one of us based in Ecole. Static timetables are unreliable, and the library is often too far for a quick one-hour break, leaving us scrambling for a place to settle.

The Proposed Solution
Availo is a smart, focused platform designed to solve this specific problem. Through a simple mobile app, Availo provides a real-time availability map, starting exclusively with the Ecole building.

The app would feature:

A Live Ecole Map: See a floor-by-floor layout of Ecole, with all ECRs and ELTs color-coded as Available (Green), Occupied (Red), or Soon-to-be-Available (Yellow).

Detailed Information: Tap on any room, like "ECR-2" or "ELT-3", to see precisely how long it's available.

Smart Filtering: Instantly find what you need. For example: "Show me an available ECR on the 1st floor now."

Problems Solved
By providing instant and reliable information, Availo reclaims lost student time, allowing it to be used for productive study rather than a stressful search. It transforms the frustrating hunt for an ECR or ELT into a seamless, 30-second task, directly enhancing the daily experience of every B.Tech student.

Why It Works
The solution is powerful because it starts with a focused, high-pain-point area: the Ecole building. The simplicity of solving one building's problem first makes the project highly achievable. Once the model is proven here, it can easily be scaled to the SOM, SOL, and IT buildings, creating a unified, campus-wide network. For the administration, it provides invaluable data on how our specific academic spaces are being used.

Who Will Get Benefited
B.Tech Students: Immediately save time and eliminate the daily stress of finding a place to work within the Ecole building.

Faculty: Quickly locate an empty ECR for impromptu student meetings or discussions.

University Administration: Gain clear, data-driven insights on ECR/ELT utilization to optimize scheduling and resource planning within Ecole.

Call for Feedback
This idea aims to solve a problem we all face daily in Ecole. As we develop this concept, your feedback is crucial. My main question is: What do you see as the biggest technical or administrative challenge in integrating an app like this with the university's existing scheduling systems for the Ecole building?

Introduction

Students today depend on multiple platforms for their needs Reddit for open discussions, LinkedIn for professional networking, and job portals for internships or entry-level jobs. The issue is that none of these platforms are designed exclusively for students, which creates a fragmented and inefficient experience. A unified platform that combines the community-driven nature of Reddit with the professional opportunities of a student-only job portal could solve this gap and bring both learning and career growth into one place.

The Problem

On Reddit, relevant discussions get buried among unrelated posts, making it difficult to find reliable guidance. LinkedIn, although powerful, is dominated by professionals, leaving students struggling to stand out. Generic job portals treat applications as purely transactional and fail to highlight student creativity, skills, or projects. This disconnect makes it harder for students to access the right opportunities, while companies also struggle to find authentic student talent directly.

Our Solution

The solution is a student-only hub that merges community interaction and career opportunities. Students could use it to share ideas, ask questions, and discuss academics or internships in a supportive environment while also building verified profiles that highlight their portfolios and achievements. At the same time, companies could connect with this curated pool of students, filtering by skills or universities to make hiring faster and more relevant.

Why This Matters

I have seen many of my peers struggle to balance learning, networking, and job searching across scattered platforms. A single dedicated hub would save time, reduce stress, and provide equal opportunities for students to showcase their potential, while also giving companies a trusted way to discover emerging talent.

New and intermediate coders produce code that works but is poorly organized, hard to read, and buggy. Current solutions (e.g., IDE linters, static checkers, or autoformatters) fix syntax and style but don't instruct why changes matter. Students and junior developers continue to replicate poor practices, leading to technical debt and extended development into professional-level coding. CQE+OST is an intelligent coding guide that automatically enhances raw code into readable, high-performance, and easy-to-maintain code and acts as an on-screen teacher. It marks errors, reformats the code nicely, and comments each fix in simple words. It is a code reviewer/mentor combination. Code Quality Enhancer (CQE): Sanitizes and optimizes submitted code. Fixes bugs, name conflicts, and inefficiencies. Imposes best practices on the target language. On-Screen Teacher (OST): Illustrates side-by-side comparison: original to improved. Annotates changes with reasons ("Renamed variable for clarity," "Used iteration instead of recursion to prevent stack overflow," etc.). Recommends further learning materials (docs, tutorials). Audience : Students & Self-learners: Don't only learn what works, but why. Universities & Bootcamps: Supplement instruction with personalized feedback. Junior Developers: Get real-time mentorship without flooding senior engineers. To be noted : Unlike IDE linters (which report issues but don't explain solutions). More effective than AI code generation tools (which offer solutions but not education). It bridges the gap between functional code and professional code allowing millions of students to build sustainable coding habits. It not only writes better code, but it also develops the thinking that goes into building good software. The Code Quality Enhancer + On-Screen Teacher (CQE+OST) needs a web-based application with a frontend (React + Monaco Editor) to paste/upload code and see side-by-side original and improved versions. The backend is based on language-specific linters/parsers (e.g., clang-tidy for C, pylint for Python) combined with an AI-based layer to provide human-like explanations of the improvements. A sandboxed development environment (Docker) provides secure code analysis, while a PostgreSQL database holds submissions, refactored code, and annotations. Automated refactoring, style and efficiency corrections, and annotated feedback suitable for beginners are core functionalities.
