Its a nifty extension I developed for Google Chrome that allows one to check the most Recent updates on the TNP Notice Board of IIT Kharagpur.

The primary goal was to make the information available in a more presentable format compared to the outdated TNP website design and also have it accessible easily. Also, it is immensely useful during the placement/internship season.

In Action

Its a small icon that resides conspicuously beside the address bar, sporting the IIT Kharagpur Logo. Currently it has very basic features but I plan to extend it in the future if I get substantial requests for new features.

Install the IIT Kharagpur TNP Extension from  Here .

Note: The extension works only when the TNP website is accessible by your web browser normally. That would normally require you to be within the Institute LAN. Its a limitation since the website is not accessible from outside the LAN.

  6. The API for developing Firefox extensions has a steeper learning curve than for Google Chrome. So I chose to try my skills out with Chrome first. I could finish the extension in about 2 hours with no previous experience.

    Anyone can develop Chrome extensions easily if they know basic HTML, JavaScript and a bit of AJAX.
