Examination timetabling is an important operational problem in any academic institution. The
problem involves assigning examinations and candidates to time periods and examination rooms while
satisfying a set of specific constraints. An increased number of student enrolments, a wider variety of courses,
and the growing flexibility of students’ curricula have contributed to the growing challenge in preparing
examination timetables. Since examination timetabling problems differ from one institution to another, in this
paper we develop and investigate the impact of a two-phase heuristic that combines Graph-Colouring and
Simulated Annealing at Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) in Tanzania. Computational results are
presented which shows great improvement over the previous work on the same problem. |
