Skill Scheduler

Problem Statement

Which problem is my project solving?

My project aims to solve the issue faced by students and professionals in managing their study plans and progress effectively. It offers:

• A study planner to maintain progress.
• A tool for students to create notes, generate quizzes from their notes, and save them into different files to save time during exams.
• A chatbot feature to summarize notes for revision.

Why is the problem important to address?

Students often feel stressed when preparing for exams. For example, during JEE preparation, it was challenging to revise extensive notes and identify what was essential. This project, Skill Scheduler, addresses these problems by:

• Summarizing notes to simplify revision.
• Offering quizzes based on notes, creating a sense of satisfaction and better preparation.
