This software aims to create a time table generation system for a college to manage student and staff schedules. It allows department heads to view work status and allows students and staff to view their assigned subjects and timetables. The software stores details of students, staff, courses, departments, and timetables in a backend Microsoft Access database using a Visual Basic.NET frontend for the user interface. It provides a more user-friendly system than the previous manual process to generate and manage schedules.

1. SYNOPSIS
The aim of this project is to create software for college and for the purpose is to
maintain the “TIME TABLE GENERATION” for both the students and staff. Each
Department head is having problem in work scheduling to their sub ordinates and work
status feedback. This project solves the above problem. This software gives permission
to the students and staff to view their allotted subject and Time Table.
This software is used to maintain the details of staff and student’s Time Table
details and college Time Table details. Visual Basic.NET is used as front end that is
used to design the user interface. Microsoft Access is used as back end and used to
design the database and stores the details.
The tables used here are Course Details, Department details, Staff Details, Time
Table Allocation details, Subject Details.
The project is more user-friendly so that anyone have minimum computer
knowledge can access and handle the software without having any complexity. This
system provides security to the users by providing proper login.

2. Modules in this project are,
1. Course Details
2. Department Details
3. Staff Details
4. Time Table allocation Details
5. Subject Details
Course:
In this module both the entry and view of the course details can be done. If the
entry should be done, then the details will be checked. After that the details will be
added in the database and a message will be displayed to confirm the entry.
Department:
If the Department details entered then the Id of the corresponding Department
must be entered, then the entered Id will be checked against the database. If the match is
found, then the Department details of the Corresponding Department will be shown in
that module, Else an error message will be displayed.
Staff Detail:
In this module both the entry and view of the staff Details can be done. If the
entry should be done, then the details must be entered and checked for duplicate. Then
the details will be added in the database and a message will be displayed to confirm the
entry.
Time Table Allocation:
In the Time Table Allocation Details the staff, subject of the Corresponding staff
will be entered, then the entered staff Name will be checked against the database. If the

3. match is found, then the Time Table Allocation details of the corresponding staff will be
generated and stored in database, Else an error message will be displayed.
SUBJECT DETAILS:
The subject details master includes subject name, id and the staff handling the
subject will be entered and stored in database. In time table generation the details will be
retrieved and used as per the requirement.

4. Existing System
In the existing system, each task is carried out manually and processing is also a
tedious job. 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.

5. 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.
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.
