Abstract :

Examination timetabling is one of the most important administrative activities that take place in all academic institutions. It is a typical combinatorial optimization problem which is of vital importance to modern business. It is concerned with scheduling a certain number of events into a specified time frame. If solved manually, timetabling problems are extremely hard and time consuming and hence the need to develop tools for their automatic generation. Each year the number of students in a particular university increases and the timetabling problem for examinations becomes slightly more difficult. The process involves attempting to assign exams to time slots and rooms while satisfying a certain number of constraints. In this paper, we will be giving the historical background of this Examination Timetabling problems ? When and why it came into existence. Then we give the Motivation and the literature survey on the Examination timetabling problem and at last we give the scope and future work to be done
