Automated Exam Scheduling System Using CSP Algorithm

The Problem

“Manual exam scheduling is error-prone and time-consuming, often leading to room conflicts, overlapping sessions, and invigilator shortages across departments.”

The Solution

Built a custom scheduling algorithm that automatically generates conflict-free timetables by cross-referencing room capacity, invigilator availability, and student cohort data in real time.

Key Features

• Comprehensive management dashboard for administrators
• Real-time schedule updates and notifications
• Dynamic room and invigilator allocation logic
• Automated conflict-free timetable generation

The Result

Reduced scheduling time from days to minutes, eliminating conflicts and providing administrators with a clear, manageable dashboard for adjustments.
