Abstract
The manual system of preparing time table in colleges is very time consuming and tedious task which usually ends up with various classes clashing either at identical room or with same teachers having more than one class at a time. Due to manual approach, proper use of resources is neither effective nor efficient. To overcome all these problems we propose to make an automated system with computer assisted timetable generator. The system will take various inputs like number of subjects, teachers, maximal lectures a teacher can conduct, priority of subject and topics to be covered in a week or a lecture, depending upon these inputs it will generate possible time tables for working days of the week, making optimal use of all resources in a way that will best suit the constraints. An appropriate timetable is then chosen from the optimal solutions generated.
