01 The problem
At Chitkara, attendance, fees, hostel, transport and events are all on different portals. Students miss updates, approvals take days, and people end up asking around on WhatsApp to find out what’s going on.
- 85%of students struggle with multiple portals
- 70%of faculty find it hard to reach students
- 2 to 3 hourslost sorting out small issues
02 Research
I ran surveys, interviews and observation with students, faculty and admin staff, then grouped everything in an affinity map. The main pattern: when the official systems feel slow or unreliable, people stop trusting them and rely on word of mouth instead.
One student paid their fee, but the portal still said “incomplete”, so they spent weeks chasing faculty to confirm it.
03 Who I designed for
Hardik, 21
BBA student living in the hostel. Wants one app, instant updates, and payments that just work.
Monika, 42
Professor. Wants one platform and timely updates.
Riya, 36
Admin coordinator. Wants fewer manual approvals and repeat questions.
04 The question I was solving
How might we make campus life feel like one connected experience for students?
05 What Unify does
Every student gets one QR ID that works across everything:
One login
Log in once with your QR, no more switching between portals.
One dashboard
Attendance, fees, hostel, transport and events in one place.
Live bus tracking
See where your campus bus is right now.
Smart alerts
Alerts for classes, fee deadlines and events, by app and SMS.
Hostel requests
Gate passes and other requests without paperwork.
Help desk
An on campus help desk for things a screen can't solve.
06 Visual design
Chitkara’s maroon as the main colour, Sora for headings and Poppins for body text.
