Formula Used

1. Working Minutes Per Day
Working Minutes = End Time − Start Time

2. Usable Minutes Per Day
Usable Minutes = Working Minutes − (Daily Breaks × Break Duration)

3. Slots Per Day
Slots Per Day = floor(Usable Minutes ÷ Class Duration)

4. Weekly Slot Capacity
Weekly Slots = Slots Per Day × Teaching Days

5. Required Weekly Slots
Required Slots = ceil((Weekly Target Hours × 60) ÷ Class Duration)

6. Average Teacher Load
Teacher Load = Weekly Teaching Hours ÷ Number of Teachers

7. Room Utilization
Room Utilization % = (Required Slots ÷ (Weekly Slots × Rooms Available)) × 100

8. Timetable Balance Score
Balance Score starts at 100 and deducts penalties for overload, poor capacity alignment, excess subject spread, and lab pressure.

This calculator estimates a practical timetable structure. It helps compare workload distribution, teaching coverage, room demand, and scheduling balance before final manual adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does this timetable maker calculate?

It estimates class slot capacity, weekly teaching hours, average teacher load, room utilization, and a timetable balance score. It also generates a draft timetable using your academic inputs.

2. Can I use it for multiple sections?

Yes. Run the calculator separately for each section, then compare room demand and teacher load. This keeps planning clear and prevents overlapping assumptions between sections.

3. How is room utilization useful?

Room utilization shows how much of your available room capacity is needed. High values suggest congestion, while lower values indicate extra scheduling flexibility.

4. What does the balance score mean?

The balance score is a planning indicator. Higher scores suggest a healthier timetable structure with fewer overload risks, better room alignment, and more even academic distribution.

5. Can I include lab-heavy courses?

Yes. Enter lab subjects in the subject list and raise the lab session count. The lab priority mode helps place lab-related sessions with stronger room focus.

6. Does it replace final academic scheduling?

No. It provides a structured draft for planning. Final scheduling should still consider teacher availability, course conflicts, accreditation needs, and institutional rules.

7. Why might generated slots be fewer than required?

This happens when daily hours, time windows, break settings, or room limits reduce total available capacity. Increase usable hours or adjust target expectations.

8. Can I download the output?

Yes. Use the CSV button for spreadsheet-friendly data and the PDF button for a printable report. The PDF action uses the browser print dialog.
