01

Project Overview

PCM Syllabus Tracker is a student productivity tool for tracking Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics syllabus progress across Class 11 and 12. It is built for students who need syllabus visibility without maintaining a messy notebook or spreadsheet.

02

Problem / Motivation

PCM preparation has a lot of moving parts: chapters, backlog, revision, school work, coaching flow, and exams. When progress is not visible, planning becomes vibes-based management. Vibes are not a scheduling system, sadly.

03

Architecture / System Design

The project is structured as a web-based tracker with subject-wise organization and progress visibility. The frontend presents topics in a way that makes status easy to scan, while the data model keeps subjects, chapters, and completion state separated enough for future expansion.

The design is intentionally direct. It prioritizes fast checking and updating over decorative dashboards because a study tool should reduce friction, not become one more thing to maintain.

04

Key Features

The tool focuses on clarity and repeat use.

  • Class 11 and 12 PCM syllabus organization.
  • Subject-wise progress tracking.
  • Visible completion state for planning.
  • Student-first workflow based on actual academic pressure.
  • Simple structure that can later support revision cycles or exam targets.

05

Technical Challenges

The challenge is making the tracker simple enough to use daily while keeping the structure flexible. Too much detail makes updates annoying; too little detail makes the tool useless. That balance is the whole product.

06

Solutions / Engineering Decisions

I kept the workflow centered around visibility and low-friction updates. The app avoids pretending to be a full productivity operating system and instead solves the specific PCM syllabus tracking problem cleanly.

07

Outcome / Final State

The final tool gives students a clearer view of syllabus progress and makes planning less scattered. It is practical, expandable, and built from a real student use case instead of a generic productivity template.

Key Capabilities

Tracks Class 11 and 12 Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics progress.

Turns syllabus planning into a visible progress workflow.

Built from my own student context, so the product problem is real and practical.
