Electives on Demand:

  • Identify elective courses and workshops that are in high demand among students.
  • Detect courses with low demand and consider excluding them from future offerings.
  • Enable program offices to plan additional sessions for in-demand elective courses and adjust schedules accordingly.
  • Prepare Data Driven Timetables minimizing clashes for students accounting Faculty Time-slot preferences.
  • Enhance the available course enrolment options for students by at least a factor of 10.
  • Increase course enrolments.
  • Improve course offering quality.

Student Credit Registration Tracker:

  • Monitor students' success rates in registering for the minimum required elective credits each semester.

Waitlist Measurement and Add & Drop Tracker:
