This is a timetbale generator Web application made with the Django Framework and used django database for database management. This web application allows timetable coordinator to create the timetable of his wants. And also We have added a feature for the faculty, that they can give their prefernces for their course's timings. Based on their preferences coordinator can change the timetable. We have made slot based timetable which means you need to make a slot of courses and mantain the whole slot compare to individual courses.
