UniTime Academic Scheduling

Optimize Academic Timetabling with Precision, Flexibility, and Automation

UniTime is a powerful, open-source academic scheduling system designed to support large-scale, data-driven timetabling for colleges and universities. Built with advanced algorithms and a modular architecture, UniTime enables institutions to efficiently schedule classes, exams, instructors, and rooms while meeting complex academic policies and resource constraints. It helps institutions maximize space utilization, minimize scheduling conflicts, and streamline academic planning across departments and campuses. In today’s dynamic academic environment, institutions need more than static calendars—they require intelligent, optimized scheduling tools that can adapt to student demand, instructional needs, and operational realities. UniTime provides the flexibility and scalability needed to manage scheduling complexity while improving transparency and stakeholder satisfaction.
