Manually scheduling 50 teachers across 30 classes involves over 10,000 combinations. One change affects the whole grid. 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 teacher availability," ensuring 100% accuracy without the headache.
Any software can fill a grid. We handle the complex rules that actually run a school.
Merge Class 5A and 5B for "Physical Education" or "Assembly" with a single teacher or team.
Prioritize "Heavy" subjects like Math and Physics for morning slots (Period 1-4) automatically.
Handle part-time staff easily. Mark "Mrs. Rao" as unavailable on Tuesdays, and the system won't book her.
Solve the 8:00 AM "Teacher Absent" crisis instantly.
Don't just pick any free teacher. Pick the *right* one.
Communication gap solved.
Generate specific PDFs for every stakeholder.

Absolutely. You can force "Consecutive Periods" for Science Labs or Art sessions, and the generator will find a 2-period slot automatically.
Yes. If you want Class 10 Math to always be in the 1st period, you can "Pin" that slot, and the generator will build the rest around it.
