ABSTRACT

This paper presents a chatbot designed to assist students in their academic journey. The chatbot uses

natural language processing techniques to understand and respond to student queries related to various

academic domains such as course content, assignments, exams, and schedules. The chatbot can be

accessed through a variety of platforms, including web and mobile interfaces, and is designed to provide

personalized support to each student based on their individual needs. Additionally, the chatbot can learn

from previous interactions with students and improve its responses over time. The paper discusses the

design, implementation, and evaluation of the chatbot, including its effectiveness in addressing student

needs and enhancing their learning experience. The results of the evaluation suggest that the chatbot has

the potential to serve as an effective tool in supporting student learning and improving academic outcomes.
Aim:
A chatbot for students aims to provide assistance and information to make their
academic experience more efficient and streamlined.

Project Title: A ChatBot For SRM University Students

Project Description
 The project aims to develop a chatbot for srm students that can assist them with a variety of
tasks and information related to their academic experience
 The chatbot will be able to answer questions about class schedules, provide study resources,
and help students navigate the university website.
 The chatbot will be able to help students with administrative tasks such as registering for
classes and checking their grades.
 The chatbot will be integrated with other systems such as the student's calendar to provide
personalized and relevant information.
 The chatbot will be accessible via a website or a mobile application and will be able to
understand natural language inputs.
 The project will involve researching and analyzing the needs of students, designing the
chatbot's user interface, and developing and training the natural language processing model.
 The final product will be tested and evaluated by a group of students to ensure that it meets
their needs and is user-friendly.

Result:
The chatbot helps students access and track their grades, class schedules and other
information easily. The chatbot can be accessed through a website, mobile app, or messaging
platform and allows students to securely log in to their accounts and view their grades, class
averages, upcoming assignments, and exams. It also includes notifications and reminders for
upcoming assignments and exams.
