KSIT NEXUS

Abstract: In the digital age, the integration of smart systems within academic institutions has become essential for improving communication, transparency, and student engagement. KSIT Nexus is a comprehensive, cross-platform mobile application designed to streamline various student-centric services within campus environments. This paper presents the development and implementation of KSIT Nexus, which features an Anonymous Complaint System, Reading Room Tracking, an AI-powered Query Chatbot, Study Group Finder, and a Digital Notice Board. The application prioritizes user privacy and accessibility by enabling anonymous submissions while maintaining identity traceability exclusively for administrators. It is built using React Native for the frontend and Django for the backend, ensuring cross-platform compatibility and efficient data handling. Unlike conventional cloud-based applications, KSIT Nexus leverages on-premise college servers for data storage, addressing institutional concerns around data security and cost. Designed to run on low-end devices, the system supports offline-first principles and manual data entry where automation is limited. The paper also discusses the unique priority-based rearrangement of complaints using natural language processing (NLP) techniques and outlines the architectural choices made to optimize performance across devices. KSIT Nexus demonstrates how technology can bridge administrative gaps, enhance student participation, and foster a responsive academic environment.
