📅 Teacher Timetable Generator

An intelligent and dynamic Python-based scheduling solution for educational institutions! 🎓
Say goodbye to the manual, time-consuming process of creating timetables. This program automates teacher scheduling while considering real-world constraints like teacher availability, maximum workload, and non-consecutive teaching periods.

🌟 Features

• Dynamic Scheduling: Automatically generates timetables while handling constraints like teacher absences, non-consecutive periods, and subject limits.
• User-Friendly Output: Produces a beautifully formatted, color-coded Excel timetable for seamless use.
• Constraint Optimization: Ensures no teacher exceeds their maximum workload or teaches consecutive periods in the same class.
• Customizable: Easily update teacher lists, subjects, and constraints by modifying input files.
• Fallback Mechanism: Guarantees no empty periods, even under tight constraints.

🎯 Why This Project?

Creating school timetables is often a tedious, error-prone task. As someone passionate about solving real-world problems with technology, I wanted to develop a system that combines automation, efficiency, and ease of use to transform this process. This project reflects the power of Python and computational logic in simplifying complex logistical challenges.

🚀 How It Works

1. Input Teacher Data:
   • The program reads teacher names and subjects from a file (teachers.txt).
   • Absent teachers can be dynamically excluded from the scheduling process.
2. Assign Teachers:
   • Teachers are assigned to periods based on constraints:
     • Non-consecutive teaching periods.
     • Maximum teaching load (default: 7 periods/day).
     • Balanced subject distribution across classes.
3. Generate Timetable:
   • The program creates a clear, color-coded Excel file (timetable.xlsx) with the generated schedule.
4. Output:
   • Each cell represents a teacher assigned to a specific period and class, with subject colors for better visualization.
