PROBLEM STATEMENT : Every newbie entering college has to face an initial period of hustle where he's confused as to where he can get all important goods required for his day to day life. He wanders around for stuff like books(required for his curriculum), drafters, calculators etc. Eventually after a long series of interrogations from various seniors when he finally buys those stuff only to realise that he has been fooled and he could have bought them at a much lower price from someone else. By the time this happens a month of college already withers away. At the same time when a guy moves from the 1st to the 2nd year there are alot of things which become useless to him. For example- a guy in the 1st year needs bicycle which a 4th year student has no use of.
OUR SOLUTION : Our website provides a common platform for the sellers and the buyers where the sellers put up goods for sale. The buyer can find the best price for a particular item(our webiste will sort goods according to prices as well). By this, the buyers no longer need to keep moving from senior to senior looking for goods which he needs. He can buy them directly through our website and that too at the best price. How efficient would it be that goods be recycled within the same place preventing newbies from the pain of buying new goods at hefty prices. This is applicable to all colleges on a large scale. How cool would it be if every college has its own e-commerce website. Most of the colleges are located away from cities and for getting things bought and sold noone would consider taking the pain of travelling a long distance all the way to the cities. He/she would want to get it sold or bought within the campus itself.

Functionality : So, what we actually want to achieve is that as soon as someone browses our website, the user will be asked to enter his/her college name. As soon as he/she finds his college the user presses enter and he/she is redirected to his own college portal i.e., the college’s own e- commerce website where he/she can buy and sell products. As of now(31/10/2018), the website is available for just one college. We haven’t hosted it yet. But it would hosted as soon as the payment gateway is ready for use.
