3. Session Objectives
Understand steps in drafting time table for an academic year.

4. What is the meaning of a time table?
Concept
What is Teaching Schedule?
• A list of the times when particular activities or events will happen.
• A schedule of events that organizes teaching activities throughout the day,
week, term or year.
• Teaching schedule shows exactly what is to be done at a particular time.
• A teaching schedule consists of a list of the complete set of offered
courses, as well as the time and place of each course offered.

5. Need
• The teaching schedule shows exactly what is to be done at a
particular time.
• It directs the attention of the learner one thing at a time.
• Learner’s energy is automatically directed in a particular direction
which prevents wastage of time and energy.
• To inform teachers when and where they teach each course.
• To enable learner to enroll in a subset of courses without schedule
conflicts.

6. Steps In Drafting Time Table

7. Step 1 – Consider placement of
subjects in each phase as per GMER.
Phase & year of
MBBS training
Subjects & New Teaching Elements Duration# University
examination
First Professional
MBBS
Foundation Course(1week, spread over 6
months at the discretion of college)
• Human Anatomy
• Physiology
• Biochemistry
• Introduction to Community Medicine
• HumanitiesEarly Clinical Exposure
• Family adoption Program
• Attitude, Ethics, and communication

8. Step 2 – Consider number of teaching hours
alloted to each subject phase wise in GMER.

9. Step 3- Consider the allotted duration for
the phase in the academic calendar from NMC.
eg. Academic Calendar for Phase I for MBBS, 2022-23 batch.

10. Step 4 – Calculate available teaching hours.
• Time alloted for teaching per day - 7 hours
• In a week teaching is conducted for 6 days.
• Total teaching hours per week - 42 hrs.
• Accordingly, calculate teaching hours available for teaching in each phase as
per duration alloted.
• All holidays, vacation period, examination period must be deducted from
the available teaching hours.

11. l
Step 5- Preparation of master time schedule.
• As per the alloted hours for each subject in a phase allot teaching slots in
weekly time schedule.
• Get it verified from all concerned HODs.
• Prepare monthly teaching schedule.
• Prepare yearly teaching schedule.

12. Step 6 – Depiction of CBME inclusions.
• Didactic lectures - As L1-L2
• Practicals
• ECE
• Integration
• SDL
• AETCOM
• FAP
• Simulation Labs
• Clinics
• Sports
• Examinations - PCT and Prelims.

Once this is final, copy it for the number of weeks in the phase e.g. 42 times

14. Alignment is done by depts
• Rest in integration, So AIT
modules are made and
slots added.
• Non-aligned topics are
highlighted in different
color

15. MASTER TIME TABLE-depts add competencies, TLM etc
Once this is final, copy it for the number of weeks in the phase e.g. 42 times

16. Step 7- Get it verified from all concerned
HODs.
Step 8 – Available for implementation

17. Benchmarks are targets that have to be fulfilled. They cannot be fulfilled in an indefinite period of time, so there are
timetables in benchmarks.
