Introduction
Nov. 11

College Time-table management software helps

to generate

class time table as well as master and teacher time table. Timetable Management software automatically creates your Campus Timetable for classes, class teachers and students.It would be a great help to the administration of a college for creation of time tables and managing them.It would be user- friendly. Time table management module organizes the campus week, breaks in between classes and subject lecturer. It would reduce the work load of creating time table manually,hence very efficient. The purpose of this document is to analyze and improve the Timetable Management System. needs and features of the It focuses on the capabilities and

facilities provided by a Time table of Class,particular teacher schedule and master time table. The details of what all are the needs of the TMS are detailed in the use-case and supplementary specifications.

1.1 Purpose
The purpose of SRS document is to describe the external view of the Timetable Management System(TMS). The purpose of the software is to integrate the administration of the college time table by providing information on the following in a user friendly manner to its four different users Students, Teaching Faculties, Placement Cell and Administrative Office. This SRS will allow for a complete understanding of what is to be expected of the TMS to be constructed and also describes the nonfunctional requirements such as the user interfaces.The Software Requirements Specification (SRS) captures the complete software requirements for the system, or a portion of the system.

1.2 Scope

The software can be used in semester system followed in many colleges. The system can be modified and updated from time to time. The benefits will include time and effort saving by reducing the human work load and errors through manual procedures and increase the efficiency. As it is a computer-based package so maintenance and working is somewhat difficult from manual mode of approach. As it is not possible to associate each and every requirement of the system so in some way or other it will going to create problem at some stage of execution (like report generation).

This includes the total number of students enrolled for each course. Partition the group of students into sections with equal no. of strength. The students of each section are also divided into groups of 2 or 3 according to their strength. Rooms This shows the total number of rooms available for accomadating students and carrying out lectures . Laboratories This shows the total number of laboratories available with each department and also includes time slots allotted to each of them . Labs under one department sees its own needs and also requests which they receive from other departments for the practicals. Subjects In Each semester, each course is offered 6 theory subjects and 3 lab practicals,total 9 subjects. Each subject is assigned a subject code, And is mentioned in the time table. Faculties This shows the faculties available for each subject. When drafting time table roughly,there opinion is asked for the clases but sole role lies of administration. Workload of each faculty is determined by the HOD of the respective department. Number of lectures, tutorial, Each subject is allowed to have a maximum of 4 practical required for each lectures per week and minimum of 3 subject lectures per week and one tut for each subject as per 5days working. No two lectures of same subject should occur on same day. Tutorials are provided for all subjects except communication skills courses. Each practical subject is allowed a maximum of 2 lecture hours per week and is allotted to students in groups when students strength is more.

The mapping of teachers, subjects and sections is done by the HODs. This is for the students. This shows the schedule for the students with details of subjects, periods,hour duration,faculty name for each subject,labs and their location,also the faculty name taking practicals. This is for the faculty members. It is maintained for each faculty and describes their schedule.it shows where they have been allotted to take lectures and also tells about their free lectures.(which will be helpful when allotting a substitution) This shows the room availability for the lectures and tutorials. This schedules which course is to be allotted which room. This includes the allocation of laboratories, lecture halls, and tutorial halls. It is the master plan of the schedule of teachers, students, rooms. This is for the administrator. This gives the University Heads an overview of whole schedule of the University with details of every branch schedule and is helpful for easy management. It tells about the total hours available for the lectures,tutorials and laboratories and dividing it effectively into appropriate hours for carrying out respective classes.
