The project “Hostel Room Allotment System” is a system based on accessing the internet to allot the hostel rooms. Based on First Come First Serve, students will have an option to select the available rooms based on their interest.

Problem:

In the previous system for booking rooms there were many problems faced by students like standing in the queues, waiting foor longer hours because of manual entry. Therefore, the need for automation is a necessity.

Solution:

The purpose of this project is to implement an online hostel room allotment system for students replacing the manual method of room allotment.

Know issues

System check identified some issues: WARNINGS: ?: (security.W004) You have not set a value for the SECURE_HSTS_SECONDS setting. If your entire site is served only over SSL, you may want to consider setting a value and enabling HTTP Strict Transport Security. Be sure to read the documentation first; enabling HSTS carelessly can cause serious, irreversible problems. ?: (security.W008) Your SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT setting is not set to True. Unless your site should be available over both SSL and non-SSL connections, you may want to either set this sett ing True or configure a load balancer or reverse-proxy server to redirect all connections to HTTPS. ?: (security.W012) SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE is not set to True. Using a secure-only session cookie makes it more difficult for network traffic sniffers to hijack user sessions. ?: (security.W016) You have 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware' in your MIDDLEWARE, but you have not set CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE to True. Using a secure-only CSRF cookie makes it mo re difficult for network traffic sniffers to steal the CSRF token. ?: (security.W018) You should not have DEBUG set to True in deployment.
