1. Introduction
The Problem is to Manage the Time Table of the all class of the
college according to teacher, and the Purpose of Manage Timetable of
the College is, for any College Teacher timetable scheduling is a very
arduous and time-consuming task. College Timetable management module
helps you to generate class time table as well campus and teacher time
table. Time table management module organizes the campus week,
holidays, breaks in between classes and subject teacher. Timetable
Management module automatically creates your Campus Timetable for
classes, class teachers and students. This module also allows you to
generate temporary timetables.
Class-Teacher Timetabling - This problem is normally associated with
Engineering College where the students are scheduled as a “class”. All
students in the same class take exactly the same/different set of courses.
Typically, teachers and classes are busy most of the day, and the problem is
to find times when each teacher can meet with his/her required classes with
no conflicts
We have decided to investigate the use of a Timetable Management
System. This system would be used by members who may be students or
professors/Teacher’s of that College to check and update the Timetable of
the Classes of College. The purpose of this document is to analyze and
elaborate on the high-level needs and features of the Timetable
Management System. It focuses on the capabilities and facilities provided
by a Time table of Class. The details of what all are the needs of the
Timetable Management System and if it fulfils these needs are detailed in
the use-case and supplementary specifications.

1.1 Purpose
The purpose of Software Requirements Specification (SRS) document
is to describe the external behavior of the Timetable Management System.
Requirements Specification defines and describes the operations,
interfaces, performance, and quality assurance requirements of the
Timetable Management System. The document also describes the
nonfunctional requirements such as the user interfaces. It also describes
the design constraints that are to be considered when the system is to be
designed, and other factors necessary to provide a complete and
comprehensive description of the requirements for the software. The
Software Requirements Specification (SRS) captures the complete software
requirements for the system, or a portion of the system. Requirements
described in this document are derived from the Vision Document prepared
for Timetable Management System.

1.2 Background Details

The Software Requirements Specification captures all the requirements in a

single document. The Timetable Management System that is to be
developed provides the members of the College and Student of the College
with Student information, System Provide all Classes Time Table details of
the college, and it provide many facilities. The Timetable Management
System is supposed to have the following features.

1.3 Overall Description

1. In few minutes, the program generates a complete timetable that

fulfills all your requirements. The program follows all psycho hygienic
and organizational requirements such as:

2. Selection for Number of working days of the week (ex. Saturday off)
Software Requirements Specification for TIMETABLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 3

3. Zero (attendance) period insertion

4. Periods per day selection .This selection is day wise ex. Can be made
4 periods on Saturday etc.)

5. Subjects could be entered considering

6. Hard subjects in first 4 or 5 periods

7. Subject in which classroom

8. Single or double duration consecutively

9. Periods per week per subject

10. Type of subject ( Hard, easy…)

11. Subjects distributed evenly for entire week
