One Month, Two Platforms, and a Milestone I’ll Always Remember
Over the past few weeks, I had the opportunity to design and develop two important platforms for IIT Ropar: the CDPC (Career Development and Placement Centre) and the CAPS (Corporate, Alumni, Placement and Strategies) websites. Both platforms were launched on 16th July 2025 during the institute’s 14th Annual Convocation. It was a proud and unforgettable milestone in my journey.
As a developer, there is nothing more fulfilling than seeing your work go live. But watching it launch during a prestigious academic ceremony, in the presence of:
Mr. Shrikant M Vaidya, Former Chairman, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (Chief Guest)
Mr. Adil Zainulbhai, Chairperson, Board of Governors, IIT Ropar
Prof. Rajeev Ahuja, Director, IIT Ropar
Prof. Pushpendra P. Singh, Dean, CAPS
made the experience even more special.
My Role in the Project
I built both platforms from the ground up using the MERN stack, handling everything from front-end design to back-end logic and deployment. This end-to-end development journey provided valuable insight into how institutional platforms are envisioned, designed, and delivered while meeting real-world expectations.
What These Platforms Represent
CDPC – Career Development and Placement Centre
A dedicated platform for student–industry engagement, mentoring, career readiness, and placement coordination.

These platforms are more than just websites. They are tools that connect students with opportunities, ideas with industry, and alumni with meaningful engagement.
Looking Ahead
Completing this project on a tight timeline, collaborating with faculty and administrators, and delivering functional, scalable platforms has been a defining experience for me. It has sharpened my skills and expanded my understanding of building impactful digital solutions.
I am truly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to IIT Ropar and look forward to the continued impact these platforms will create.
More projects and experiences are on the horizon.
