Timetable Planning Guides
A good timetable is more than a grid of subjects. It balances academic workload, faculty availability, rooms, practical sessions and institutional constraints.
Faculty Workload
Plan daily and weekly teaching limits before distribution. Quick Timetable lets the HOD or timetable coordinator define these limits manually.
L–T–P Planning
Separate lecture, tutorial and practical requirements so laboratory and theory teaching can be scheduled correctly.
Conflict Control
Fixed slots, occupied faculty periods, room availability and merged sections should be defined before automatic generation.
Recommended planning sequence
Start with Institution Details and Course / Class Master, then add practical/activity resources in Resource Master. Continue with Subject Master, Faculty Master, Faculty Load, Subject Distribution, Merge Classes / Sections, Faculty Preferences, Time Settings and Fixed Class Slots / Activities before generation. After output review, use Daily Faculty Adjustment for day-to-day absence management.
Why free periods matter
Free periods help timetable coordinators identify unused class time and available faculty. They can also reveal whether required subject load has been fully scheduled or whether additional periods remain to be allocated.
