Issue regarding subject name about ipu-ranklist HOT 11 CLOSED

Hi @iadi37

Welcome to the rabbit hole of GGSIPU's inability to keep a paperID unique, and IPU Ranklist's ignorance in identifying this early.

Right now, IPU Ranklist tries to uniquely identify a subject name corresponding to a paperID.

The following shows the correct entry, from your 2nd sem result.

But GGSIPU has a "different" B.Tech for USICT students, in which they have the same paperID (099114). But a different subject name.

This issue has been noted in #130 & #87 also.
I'll keep your issue open as well.

This is not a straightforward fix, as it requires changes in the data layer, which will bubble up to all the other layers.
But I'll try to fix it soon.

Thanks for raising it. 🙌🏼

Hi @realKarthikNair @iadi37

The new version is up and running. ✅
I request you to please verify.

(Been waiting for a year to type these words...)
This issue stands closed.

Thanks a lot!! for solving this issue.

Hey @ankushgarg1998, thanks for taking the issue. There is also the same issue in SEM 1 result as well :

  sub: FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTING
   id: 027111

instead of

sub: APPLIED MATHEMATICS - I
paper code:   BS111

&

 sub: FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTING LAB 
 id: 027157

instead of

 sub: ENGINEERING GRAPHICS-I
 paper code: ES157

Recently received another email regarding this issue (BCA Course):

Actually the marks of c programming is swapped with telecommunication. And the marks of Computers and IT swapped with Physics. and also the subject name physics should be replaced with web technologies as there is no subject physics in new curriculum.

UPDATE FROM MY END (As of 23rd June 2023):

I'm actively working on a new design that incorporates various schemes of examinations and makes subject names course & scheme specific.
This is part of a larger project that includes a database schema change, and making the data parsing much richer than before.

I'm expecting to complete this before the next results season.

Any update on this? Also, thanks for this amazing work in the form on ipuranklist!

Hi @realKarthikNair

Here's an update on the work I've mentioned in my last comment.
I'm almost done with the new parsing layer. I am finishing up some final changes. I've completed the following items:

• Designing & implementing the new DB schemas with mongoose.
• Writing a new parsing layer that auto-chooses parsers and makes it convenient to add new parsers.
• Refactoring all of Jimmy & Jonathan parser's code.
• Plugging these 2 parsers in the parsing layer.
• Testing the new parsing layer for all courses / programmes.

Post these the following items remain:

• Reorganising the pdf file management for various courses. (+ backups)
• Making the parsing layer capable of downloading & book-keeping PDFs.
• Preparing the new prod DB.
• Writing a new back-end layer that serves requests using the new DB.
• Updating the existing front-end layer to leverage the new back-end APIs.

This is taking quite some time because I'm re-writing almost all of the code, and at the same time working towards making this code & website future-proof.
Along-side I'm laying a foundation for the ability to later bring in the some exciting features, which would not have been possible earlier.
Some of those features would be:

• Students to see which semester results are coming from which page on which PDF files.
• To show which all PDFs from the official GGSIPU website are parsed, and which are in a pending state.

Thanks for the update @ankushgarg1998, I really appreciate that..

Hi Folks.
Posting an update here.
The re-work is taking longer than I'd anticipated.
It is in the final stages now. I'm building the new database, and testing things locally.

As soon as it is production-ready, it'll be deployed by the end of this results season.

@ankushgarg1998 really appreciate the efforts.
