The hand operated system of time table preparation in colleges is very monotonous and time-consuming which results in either the same teachers ending up with more than one class at a time or a number of classes conflicting at the same classroom. Due to a non-automatic perspective, absolute utilization of resources has proven ineffective. In order to deal with such problems, a mechanized system can be designed with a computer aided timetable generator. The system will take different inputs like number of subjects, teachers, maximum lectures a teacher can conduct, priority of subject and topics to be covered in a week or a lecture, considering which, it will create feasible time tables for working days of the week, making excellent application of all resources in a way which will be best suited for the constraints. A suitable timetable is then chosen from the optimal solutions generated.

Keywords: Component, Constraints, Resource Scheduling Algorithm, Time Table generation, Optimal Solution.
