These platforms lack features tailored to fostering these specific relationships. The implementation of a senior-junior question-answer web application is essential to formalize the mentorship process. Literature reviews unveiled gaps in platforms catering to such relationships, highlighting the need for a specialized solution. The proposed solution seeks to address these gaps.

Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

In the modern educational landscape, the transfer of knowledge and experiences between senior and junior students is a crucial aspect of personal and academic growth. Recognizing this, our team is committed to developing a web application that serves as a dedicated platform tailored to educational institutions. While other generic Q&A platforms like Quora exist, they often fall short when it comes to addressing the unique mentorship context within colleges and universities. Juniors often face challenges in connecting with their senior counterparts, and vice versa, resulting in missed opportunities for valuable guidance and support. As our research has revealed, the current platforms lack the necessary features to address the hierarchical nature of mentorship. Furthermore, these platforms typically offer generic responses, failing to provide personalized guidance. To bridge this gap, our solution aims to integrate algorithms that consider both the hierarchical structure of mentorship and provide tailored responses to juniors' specific needs. The envisioned platform will go beyond the traditional Q&A format and offer tiered access, ensuring that students can interact with their peers while receiving personalized recommendations and advice that caters to their academic journey. Our team's contribution to this endeavour involves the modification of existing algorithms to meet the specific demands of senior-junior mentorship dynamics. By implementing new features and tools, we aim to create an environment that fosters more productive mentorship experiences within the educational community. Our innovative approach includes a centralized API that organizations can seamlessly integrate into their portals. This API streamlines the process of facilitating frequently asked questions (FAQs) and general inquiries, empowering educational institutions to connect their students more effectively and offer a reliable means of communication between juniors and seniors. This holistic approach not only enhances learning experiences but also strengthens the sense of community and support within educational institutions.In summary, our web application endeavours to address the critical need for improved senior-junior interactions, knowledge sharing, and mentorship within educational institutions. By catering specifically to the unique challenges of college life, we aim to create a dynamic platform that connects students, enriches their learning experiences, and enhances the sense of unity within educational communities.
