Why Automatic Timetable Generation?

Manually scheduling 50 teachers across 30 classes involves over 10,000 combinations. SchoolDeck's Timetable Maker uses a genetic algorithm to create a conflict-free schedule that respects constraints like "Maths only in the morning" or "Part-time faculty availability," ensuring 100% accuracy without the administrative headache.

The "Advanced Constraints" Engine

Any software can fill a grid. We handle the complex pedagogical rules that actually run a school.

πŸ”—

Combined Classes

Merge Section A and B for "Physical Education" or "Library" with a single teacher or team effortlessly.

⏰

Subject Priority

Prioritize "Heavy" subjects like Math and Physics for morning slots (Period 1-4) automatically to maximize student focus.

πŸ“…

Teacher Availability

Handle part-time faculty easily. Mark visiting staff as unavailable on specific days, and the system won't book them.

Daily Substitution & Proxy Management

Solve the 8:00 AM "Teacher Absent" crisis instantly. Don't just pick any free teacherβ€”pick the *right* one based on subject alignment and workload.

  • Smart Logic: If a Math teacher is absent, the system prioritizes other Math teachers who have a free period.
  • Instant App Alerts: Substitute teachers get a ping: "You have a proxy in Class 7C (Period 3)" before they finish their tea.
  • Fair Rotation: The system tracks "Proxy History" to ensure the same teacher isn't burdened with extra duties daily.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we create separate timetables for Primary and High School?

Yes. You can manage multiple "Wings" or "Branches" with completely different period durations, break times, and lunch schedules within the same unified system.

Does it handle double periods for Labs or Arts?

Absolutely. You can force "Consecutive Periods" for Science Labs or Sports sessions, and the AI will find appropriate 2-period slots while maintaining room availability.

Can I lock certain periods manually?

Yes. If you want Class 10 Math to always occupy the 1st period, you can "Pin" that slot. The generator will lock that choice and build the rest of the school's schedule around it.

How does it handle part-time visiting faculty?

You can define specific "Availability Blocks" for any staff member. If Mr. Rao is only available on Mondays and Wednesdays, the system will never assign him classes on other days.
