Effective Seat Allocation for Examination Using Android Application

Abstract

This paper is committed to simplify the task of manual seating arrangement of
students in an examination hall. The main goal is to develop an android app for automatic
examination seating arrangement in addition to reducing the manual work of staff. A PDF
containing student exam number with subject code and subject name will be sent by the
university and will be received by the admin staff which will be converted into suitable
format. Then an algorithm will be used to involuntarily allocate the students to the suitable
block according to their strength. Then the staff will be randomly allocated to particular
block. Alternating staff allocation will be done according to department. The students and
the staff will receive a message regarding the block where they have been assigned. In this
paper we can further add features to improve the flexibility.
