Student Mentorship and Guidance Portal for Enhancing Academic and Career Support

—The Student Mentorship and Guidance Portal is a web-based system designed to connect students with experienced mentors such as seniors and alumni. Many students face challenges in academic and career decision- making due to the lack of structured guidance. The proposed system addresses this issue by providing a centralized platform for mentor discovery, mentorship request handling, and session scheduling. The system incorporates modules such as user authentication, mentor matching based on skills and interests, and scheduling management. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the platform improves accessibility to mentorship, enhances communication, and increases overall efficiency of mentor-mentee interactions. The results indicate high usability, reliability, and user satisfaction.
