Abstract- This project is aimed at developing a Time Table Generator for Colleges. Timetable generation is a
very well known problem that is faced in every educational institution. The problem actually occurs when
there are clashes among the preferences given by the staffs. Colleges are supposed to make time tables for
each semester which used to be a very tedious and pain staking job. Student is eligible for viewing his
timetable once they are finalized for a given semester. Staff also is eligible for viewing Staff timetable once
they are finalized for a given semester and Class Allot.The objective of the Time Table Allotment for any
department project was to develop an application that enables allotment subject to staff as well as classes for
students. Administrator Added the Following details for Add the Student, Add Staff, Add Subject, Time Table
Entry, Time Table Update.

I. INTRODUCTION
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Colleges are supposed to make time tables for each semester which used to be a very tedious and pain

staking job. The project entitled “Time Table Generator” is developed using PHP as front end and MYSQL as

back end. In this Time table Generator system integrates with many modules and processing. In many cases

automation and control is the most critical area to College efficiency. In Information Technology is widely used

for faster and easier way of communications. Administrator Added the Following details for Add the Student,

Add Staff, Add Subject, Time Table Entry, Time Table Update. Student and Staff View the time Table details.

This Time Table generator system is being implemented the PHP. Since PHP is our Front-End it looks more

look and feels for the web application is very Effective & Security.Time Table generator system is a project for

a very useful for Students to view the time table details in this website.

II. EXISTING SYSTEM & PROPOSED SYSTEM

EXISTING SYSTEM

In the existing system, each task is carried out manually and processing is also a tedious job. In
previous system colleges were maintaining time table details manually in pen and paper, which was time taking
and costly. The Organization is not able to achieve its need in time and also the results may not accurate.
Because of the manual maintenance there are number of difficulties and drawbacks exist in the system. Some of
them are
DRAWBACKS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM
 Increased transaction leads to increased source document and hence maintenance becomes difficult.
 If any student, staff entry is wrongly made then the maintenance becomes very difficult.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed system is designed to be more efficient than the manual system. It invokes all base tasks
that are now carried out manually, such as the forms transactions and reports which is added advantage.The
proposed System is completely computer-based application.Thousands of records can searched and displayed
without taking any significant time

ADVANTAGES OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM

 Gives accurate information

 Simplifies the manual work
 It minimizes the documentation related work
 Provides up to date information
 Friendly Environment by providing warning messages.

III. MODULES

Authentication Module:

This module contains all the information about the authenticated Administrator. Administrator without
his username and password can’t enter into the login if he is only the authenticated Staff then he can enter to his
login.Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user by obtaining some sort of credentials and
using those credentials to verify the Administrator identity. If the credentials are valid, the authorization process
starts. Authentication process always proceeds to Authorization process. Administrators assume these
responsibilities as volunteers who go through a community review process. They are not acting as users. They
are never required to use their tools, and must never use them to gain an advantage in a dispute whose need the
access for their database in secured way of organization. Administrators should not be confused incoming user
registration time and login time.

Add Student:
In this module Administrator Add the Student Information using this module. It Contains Information
about the Student id, Name, Password, Email id, Gender, Mobile Number, Department, Semester. It makes easy

to integrate Administrator password authentication into your web app. The credentials are not stored in your
database.

Add Staff:
In this module Administrator Add the Staff Information using this module. It Contains Information
about the Staff id, Name, Password, Email id, Gender, Mobile Number, Address, Department. It makes easy to
integrate Administrator password authentication into your web app. The credentials are not stored in your
database.

Add Subject:
In this module Administrator Add the Subject Information. It Contains Information about the Subject
for Subject Name, Department, Semester. It makes easy to integrate Administrator password authentication into
your web app. The credentials are not stored in your database.

View Time Table:

In this module User View the Time Table Information. It Contains Information about the Time Table
Based on the Day. User can select Sunday to Monday and List out the Time Table.

View Student Time Table:

In this module Staff View the Student Time Table Information. It Contains Information about the Time
Table Based on the Day. The Details stored in the database.

The above figures explains about the login page which is used to enter the web site, registration page is
utilized to register the customers themselves, like students and staff members subject registration, time table
creation moreover students and staff members can view the timetable.

V. CONCLUSION
Our approach of developing automated timetable system is successful in solving colleges‟lecture-course
timetabling problem. We have also shown that how we can fit our timetabling system as Rich Desktop
Application. The graphical user interface (Windows FormApplication) used in this application provides an easy
way in understanding how application works and also makes ease in providing the input.This application is
provided with necessary details of faculty and subjects which are stored in database(SQL SERVER) and then by
making use of the available data it generates the lecture-course timetable with minimum time when compared to
manual generation of timetable and involves in satisfying all the constraints .

 No overlapping of time slots for any subject.

 There should be a minimum gap of one hour for respective faculty per subject
 No repetition of time slots per faculty.
