Placement Portal

A web-based Placement Management System built using Flask, SQLite, and Bootstrap.

This portal simulates a college placement system where:

• Students can view and apply to placement drives
• Companies can register and create placement drives
• Admin manages approvals and monitors the system

The goal of the project is to provide a centralized platform for managing campus placements efficiently.
