Generate the whole college's timetable in one pass — all departments, semesters and elective groups together. View it by section, room or teacher, fix anything with drag-and-drop, then publish each student and teacher their own view.
A college timetable generator produces the master class timetable for a whole institution — across departments, semesters and elective groups — from your courses, sections, rooms and faculty. CampusAlly generates the schedule, lets you view and adjust it by department, room or teacher, and publishes a personalised view to each person. The solver that resolves the constraints lives in the scheduling module; the generator and the timetable you manage are right here.
This page is the generator and output: producing, viewing, publishing and managing the timetable. The scheduling module is the engine behind it — the automatic solver that resolves clashes and balances constraints. Exam seating, invigilation and hall tickets belong to examination. The generated timetable is then the source that attendance and the student portal read.
Add the term's courses, sections, electives, rooms and the faculty for each — including visiting faculty and their days.
Produce the master timetable across every department and semester in one pass. The constraint-solving is the scheduling engine.
See it by department, section, room or teacher. Drag-and-drop edits are re-validated live, flagging a clash before publish.
One click publishes it. Each person gets their own view, and anyone affected by a later change is notified.
Instead of a separate spreadsheet per department that then fights over the same rooms and teachers, the generator produces one master timetable — and lets you slice it however you need.
The generator builds every department, semester and section into a single timetable, so shared rooms and shared faculty are reconciled in the output rather than discovered as clashes later.
Open electives and CBCS groups appear as shared slots in the master timetable, so a student's chosen minor never collides with their core — and each student's own view shows only what they picked.
A timetable is never truly final — rooms change, faculty go on leave, a fest blocks a week. The generator makes the output easy to adjust and re-publish without rebuilding from scratch.
Move a class to a new slot or room and CampusAlly checks it on the spot, flagging a clash before you publish — so a quick manual fix never quietly breaks something elsewhere.
Publish once and every student and teacher sees their own timetable — not the department wall-chart — and can sync it to a personal calendar. Anyone affected by a later change is notified.
Single-department arts college or a multi-school autonomous university — the timetable still has to span everything at once. The generator adapts to your structure.
Lab-heavy programmes with shared workshops and semester-wise batches, generated into one timetable under any affiliating university.
CBCS open electives routed across departments and shared language labs, all visible in a single master grid.
Custom credit systems and multi-school campuses, with PG and research schedules in the same generated timetable.
Clinical postings and lab allocations generated alongside the main academic timetable.
Generate, slice by department, adjust and publish — and review a proposed timetable before it goes live.
A college-wide view of how rooms and teachers are spread, with one source of truth for the published schedule.
Many colleges still build a timetable per department in Excel, then discover the clashes when they collide over rooms and teachers. Generating one master timetable changes that.
| Task | With the CampusAlly generator | Separate spreadsheets |
|---|---|---|
| Scope of one build | ✓ All departments & semesters at once | ✗ One file per department |
| Shared rooms & faculty | ✓ Reconciled in the output | ✗ Clashes found late |
| Electives & CBCS | ✓ Shared slots in the master grid | ✗ Hand-matched, error-prone |
| Editing | ✓ Drag-and-drop, re-validated live | ✗ Manual, easy to break |
| Publishing changes | ✓ Each person notified of their change | ✗ Reprint and a notice board |
| What each person sees | ✓ Their own personalised view | ✗ The whole department chart |
| Across terms | ✓ Versioned, reusable | ✗ A fresh file every semester |
The questions coordinators, deans and search engines ask.
A college timetable generator produces the master class timetable for a whole institution — across departments, semesters and elective groups — from inputs like courses, sections, rooms and faculty. In CampusAlly it generates the schedule, lets you view and adjust it by department, room or teacher, and publishes a personalised view to each person. The solver that resolves the constraints is the scheduling module; the generator and the timetable you manage are this page.
They're two sides of the same feature. The scheduling module is the engine — the automatic solver that resolves hard and soft constraints to avoid clashes. The timetable page is the generator and the output: producing the multi-department master timetable, viewing it by section or room, editing it, publishing it and pushing each person their own view. If you want how the solver works, see scheduling; if you want to generate, view and manage the timetable, you're in the right place.
Yes — that's the point of the generator. It produces one master timetable spanning every department, semester and section together, rather than department-by-department spreadsheets that then clash over shared rooms and faculty. You can view the same timetable sliced by department, section, room or individual teacher.
Open electives and CBCS groups appear in the master timetable as shared slots, so students from different departments can take the same elective without it colliding with their core classes. Each student's personalised view then shows only the electives they actually chose. The logic that places those slots without clashes is the scheduling engine; the timetable shows and publishes the result.
When the timetable is generated, visiting-faculty availability and shared rooms, labs and seminar halls are reflected in the output, so a visiting teacher isn't placed on a day they don't come in and two sections aren't sent to the same room at once. Across multiple campuses, travel time between locations is taken into account so a teacher isn't given back-to-back classes in two places.
Yes. Once published, each student and teacher sees their own personalised timetable rather than the whole department grid, and can sync it to a personal calendar. When a class or room changes, the people affected are notified. The app and device side of that delivery is covered on mobile apps; the timetable here is what gets delivered.
Yes. You can drag-and-drop a class to a new slot or room, and CampusAlly re-validates live, flagging a clash before you publish so a manual change doesn't quietly break the schedule. You can keep versioned timetables across terms and republish when something changes mid-semester.
No — those belong to the examination module, which owns hall tickets, exam seating arrangements, invigilator duties and results. The timetable shares the same rooms and faculty so the two don't double-book, but the seating plan and invigilation roster are generated and managed in examination, not here.
The generated timetable is the source the other modules read: attendance uses it to know which class is on, and the student portal and mobile apps display each person's view. The timetable doesn't re-own attendance or the app — it produces the schedule those modules build on.
