ChatBot for Course Registration

Inspiration

I completed a course on Large Language Models on the Deep Learning website. In that course I learnt how to use the OpenAI API and how many amazing things it's capable of doing.

What the project does

This is a ChatBot that helps students of IIIT Delhi register for their courses based on what semester they are in and what branch of Engineering they study. While a normal input/output python code can also serve this purpose, the ChatBot that is customized for this purpose makes the process more interactive.

What I used to build it

I built it using the OpenAI API using the Chat GPT 3.5 Turbo.

The main challenge

The main challenge I faced during the formation was adding the data and deciding on how much data was actually permissible. Using ChatGPT 3.5 Turbo, not a lot of input could be given to the system.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm really proud of the fact that code actually serves a purpose. I realize that it is a very small purpose, but I'm still proud that in a small way my idea can help students academic journey.

What we learned

I learnt the importance of Large Language Models. This was also the first time I was exposed to open source websites. It has encouraged me to also contribute to these sources.

What's next for ChatBot for Course Registration

ChatBot for Course Registration helps students with their predefined core courses based on their semester and branch. I want to improve it in such a way that it can be more personalized. It can help students who've possibly failed a course to check for time table clashes. For free slots it can suggest courses based on whether or not the student has completed the prerequisites. I really look forward to add more and more data to the ChatBot.
