Abstract


Making an academic conduction timetable is a difficult and demanding activity that is essential to the efficient running of educational facilities. It entails balancing a number of variables, including room restrictions, student preferences, staff availability, and course needs. The paper explores the typical roadblocks that arise while creating a schedule and suggests workable solutions for them.

The process of creating a timetable begins with calculating the semester's overall load, which aids in determining the number of student batches and divisions. It continues with the requirement for faculty or industry experts' requirements for newly developed courses, and it concludes with the accessibility and utilization of infrastructure.

Meeting the various course requirements and making sure that every course is planned inside the allotted academic calendar are two of the main challenges. This often results in conflicts and overlaps, which makes it challenging to meet the requirements for every course, including departmental electives, open electives, skill development labs, and many more. A thorough awareness of credit hours, schedule preferences, and course prerequisites is necessary to minimize this.
