Issue regarding subject name

[iadi37]

Hi ankushgarg1998

There are incorrect subject names showing for Btech SEM 2 results for 2021-25 CSE.

  Sub: STATISTICS THEORY OF PROBABILITY AND LINEAR PROGRAMMING
  paper id: 099114

instead of

   Sub: ENGINEERING MECHANICS
   paper id: 027114
   paper code: ES114

&

   Sub: INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING
   paper id: 027108

instead of

   Sub: ELECTRICAL SCIENCE
   paper id: 027108
   paper code: ES108

• At first, it should be 027 instead of 099 as 027 is the CSE code.
• In the second the paper id is the same but I guess University has changed the paper id for the subject and maybe interchanged.

Looking to solve this issue can you please suggest and guide for the same?

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. 🙌🏼

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:

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

Post these the following items remain:

• [x] Reorganising the pdf file management for various courses. (+ backups)
• [x] Making the parsing layer capable of downloading & book-keeping PDFs.
• [ ] Preparing the new prod DB.
• [x] 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.

Full details about the release notes from 2023 can be found here

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