Its beginning of the new academic year, time tables … you need Time Table software?

New academic year is just ahead and few teachers have real tough responsibility of making time tables for various stake holders and logical units with all types of constrains in place. Satisfying everybody with time table is difficult task; the people involved in this process will appreciate my words. Well just to get you the glimpse of complexity will mention few points needed to be considered. Normally there are three broad resources involved Data resources, Time resources and space resources. Now each of them will have various elements like Institute information, Calendar, Days schedule/s, Subjects, Events and Activities, Teachers, Students and their logical groups, Buildings, Classrooms, Laboratories, Workshops, Seminar Halls, Amenities and many may constrains. I know you even there are already documented over 2 dozen of constrains still no wonder if you will need few more for your institute. No issues, we have all of this along with rules and regulations and we are on the job.
We have to satisfy all our stake holders within constrains and rules and regulations. Believe me it is very simple. Download the small software. Start entering data/masters once and then you will see the magic time-tables are almost done with all conditions considered. You may have to refine critical conditions and you are done. Yes it is so simple. I tried many of them recently I tried FET free Time Table software. You make your own choice from wide variety of software available. Few links are here for your ready reference
