SE302 - Exam Management System

Project Overview

This is a desktop application developed as part of the SE302 Software Engineering course. The system is designed to streamline and automate the management of examination schedules, ensuring efficient allocation of resources while preventing conflicts.

Purpose

The Exam Management System aims to solve common challenges faced by educational institutions during examination periods by:

Managing multiple classes and examination schedules
Optimizing time slot allocation for exams
Preventing student scheduling conflicts (collision detection)
Ensuring fair exam distribution across different time periods
Reducing administrative workload in exam planning

Key Features
