Use the "Forgot password" on Registro Home page feature to receive a specific password for your account 2. Log in using your email as the username and the new password provided by Registro.

Bidding Process and Bid Points

4. What is MRB?
   • MRB stands for Minimum Required Bid or the clearing price that allows you to win a course at a given moment of an active round. The MRB can increase with the demand for a course or stay the same.
5. Can the MRB value be zero?
   • Yes, the MRB value can be zero if the number of students bidding is fewer than the total seats available.
6. How can I reduce the bid points I have allotted?
   • You can reduce the bid points to the MRB level. For example, if the MRB is 50 points and you have placed 80 points, you can adjust your allocation to 50 points by entering the value in the bid cell.

Withdrawing Courses

7. When can I withdraw a course from the Bidding Consideration Set?
   • You can withdraw from a losing course, and the bid points you placed will be reimbursed.
   • You can withdraw a winning course if you have placed zero bid points.
   • You cannot withdraw from a winning course if you have placed bid points greater than zero.
   • If the MRB is indicated as zero, you can reduce your bid points to zero and withdraw from a winning course.
8. When can I withdraw from a winning course post a bidding round?
   • You can withdraw from a winning course after the bidding round is completed during the confirmation round.

Bid Points Management

• Will my bid points be reimbursed if I lose a course in the bidding auction?
  • Yes, the points will be reimbursed.
• Can I win a course with zero bid points?
  • Yes, if the demand for a course is less than the total available seats, you may win a seat with zero bid points. However, some institutes might require you to place a minimum bid of one point, so please check the policy.
• Will my remaining bid points be carried forward to future semesters?
  • It depends on the policy of the university if it allows bid points to be carried forward.

University staff often face numerous challenges due to the lack of IT and automation systems for efficient timetable generation and management. Here are some key pain points:

• Time-Consuming Manual Processes:
  • Manual creation and management of timetables is highly time-consuming.
  • Staff have to handle large volumes of data, including course schedules, room availability, and instructor preferences.
• High Risk of Human Error:
  • Manual entry increases the likelihood of errors, such as scheduling conflicts, double bookings, and missed classes.
  • Correcting these errors is often tedious and can disrupt the academic schedule.
• Complex Coordination:
  • Coordinating between different departments, faculty members, and administrative units without automated systems can be chaotic.
  • Miscommunication and delays are common, leading to inefficiencies.
• Difficulty in Handling Changes:
  • Last-minute changes, such as faculty availability, room changes, or student enrollment shifts, are hard to manage manually.
  • Updating timetables quickly and accurately becomes a major challenge.
• Limited Data Analysis:
  • Without IT systems, it is difficult to analyze data for optimization, such as identifying underutilized resources or peak usage times.
  • Lack of insights can lead to inefficient use of resources and facilities.
• Inadequate Communication:
  • Informing students and faculty about timetable changes manually is inefficient and prone to delays.
  • Ensuring everyone is up-to-date requires significant effort.
• Reduced Flexibility:
  • Manual systems are rigid and make it difficult to accommodate special requests, such as personalized schedules for students with special needs.
  • Flexibility in course offerings and scheduling is often compromised.
• Resource Allocation Issues:
  • Proper allocation of classrooms, labs, and other facilities is challenging without automated systems.
  • This often results in some resources being overbooked while others remain underutilized.
• Inconsistent Documentation:
  • Keeping accurate and consistent records of timetables is difficult.
  • Inconsistent documentation can cause problems for future planning and auditing purposes.
• Increased Workload:
  • Administrative staff experience increased workloads due to the repetitive and manual nature of timetable management tasks.
  • This can lead to staff burnout and decreased job satisfaction.
• Student Dissatisfaction:
  • Errors and inefficiencies in timetable management directly affect students, causing dissatisfaction and potentially impacting their academic performance.
  • Difficulties in accessing up-to-date schedules can inconvenience students.
• Lack of Scalability:
  • As universities grow, managing timetables manually becomes increasingly impractical.
  • Scalability issues hinder the institution’s ability to expand and adapt to new requirements.

Addressing these pain points through the implementation of IT and automation systems can significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of timetable generation and management in universities.
