BOU CSE Result Companion

BOU CSE Result Companion is an independent desk for Bangladesh Open University BSc in CSE students. Enter a student ID and the app fetches the official result, applies the right curriculum credits, and shows SGPA, CGPA, progress, and standing among students whose results have been looked up — plus lab, assignment, and registration form generators, CSE notice filtering, and saved accounts.

The problem

The official BOU result portal returns raw semester marks. Students still have to work out grade points, semester averages, and degree progress by hand — and the two curricula (batches up to 24 versus 25 onwards) use different credit maps. There was no single place that combined a correct GPA engine with forms, CSE notices, and a respectful public ranking.

What I delivered

• Official lookup, companion maths Exact student IDs only — no range crawling. Results come from result.bou.ac.bd; SGPA, CGPA, credits, and curriculum selection are computed locally with the handbook credit tables.
• Result analysis & PDF records Semester cards, a journey chart of SGPA and running CGPA, and downloadable PDF result records for printing or sharing.
• Leaderboard with privacy Ranked by CGPA, then credits earned. Student IDs are masked and parents’ names never appear. Filters cover curriculum, batch, study centre, and name.
• Forms, notices & accounts Lab, assignment, and registration covers as PDF or Word; CSE notices scraped from the BOU board with spelling-aware matching; accounts with saved results, profile prefill, password reset by email, and optional reCAPTCHA v3.

Ask Companion: an assistant for results and forms

A floating assistant on every page answers questions about grading, the curriculum, forms and notices, and can explain a student's own result when asked.

• Knowledge packs Markdown packs cover grading, the curriculum, forms, the site map, tone and safety, so answers draw on the companion's own reference material.
• Personal analysis on request A student ID is asked for only when a personal result analysis needs one. Result context is prepared on the server, and parents' names are removed before anything reaches the model.
• What-if CGPA A deterministic helper, not the model, works out how a CGPA would change once failed courses are cleared.
• Safety and limits A server-side prefilter and the system prompt refuse jailbreaks, malware or phishing help and attempts to extract secrets, and requests are rate limited.

Outcome

boucse.zubaer.com is live as an unofficial companion for fellow CSE students. It sits alongside the BOU SST site and portal work in the same education space — built as a Vue SPA with a Fastify API and its own PostgreSQL, packaged in Docker on the zubnetwork stack.
