Our Research Focus
- Our cross-functional team of academic operations consultants, engineers, product owners, product designers, customer success managers and data scientists works to build intelligent solutions that address academic and placement operations automation, with the aim of improving student success and administrative efficiency.
Academic operations is an allocation problem
Every process we automate, building and operationalizing a multi-programme timetable, standardizing an elective bidding round, slotting Day 0 interviews, placing students with partner universities is the same class of problem underneath: allocating scarce resources against competing preferences and hard constraints. Most of these problems are NP-hard. We treat them that way.
Research, then engineering.
very module begins as a problem formulation, identifying decision variables, hard constraints, objective function even before a line of interface code is written.
Validated against institutional history
New solvers are benchmarked on your own past terms and cycles, so improvement is measured against what your office actually produced, not a synthetic dataset.
Built with programme offices, not for them.
consultants, product owners and customer success teams sit inside live cycles bidding windows, timetable freezes, placement days where the real constraints surface.
Proven at institutional scale.
Deployed at IIMA, IIMB,IIMC, ISB, XLRI, SDA Bocconi, IIT Bombay, Ashoka University, SNU Noida, NLS Bangalore, IISc Bangalore and 40+ higher education institutions.
NP-hard Problems
We treat timetable generation not as an administrative chore but as a core algorithmic challenge that confers operational advantages if addressed with automation. Our R&D team developed hybrid optimization methods that produce conflict-free, preference-aware schedules across thousands of variables.
Academic Operations Optimization
From the moment a student begins their academic journey to the day they graduate, we are building intelligent automation across every operational layer of higher education eliminating manual bottlenecks, reducing administrative overhead, and enabling institutions to focus on pedagogy rather than paperwork.
User Experience Optimization
User experience is not a design afterthought, it is a research discipline. We study how students, faculty, and administrators interact with academic systems, then engineer interfaces and interaction models that reduce friction, build confidence, and surface the right information at precisely the right moment.
Transform Your Academic Operations
Automate course bidding, timetable scheduling, placements, and student exchange processes. Improve operational efficiency while enhancing the student experience.

Powering Outcomes in Global Institutions
Streamline processes & improved operational efficiencies.
Accessing those insights in real-time enabled me to assess my elective options and determine the optimal maximum bid points required to secure them.
The real-time insights we received were instrumental in preventing potential mistakes and significantly aided our decision-making process regarding elective courses.
Viewing the real-time data of active bidders, MRB, and rank helps me decide whether to add more bidding points or switch to a different course.
Real-time insights allowed me to quickly adjust my bidding strategy, understand competition, and make better decisions to secure my desired courses.
EDTEX - Skynet Placement Automation Product Team have rendered their services and support for the Placement Process at IIM Bangalore since March 2020. The software has been successfully implemented and rendered
I had the pleasure of using EDTEX Skynet for conducting placement operations for SIPs & final placements. Skynet is customizable, allowing us to design the platform entirely around our specific processes. The team is knowledgeable & experienced in managing placement processes for top B-schools. What truly sets them apart is their 24x7 support. Any issues we encountered were resolved promptly, even under tight deadlines. I highly recommend Skynet to any institution running placement processes.
We are happy to recommend the Course Bidding System software, which was developed by our student and alumnus Mr. Anil Kumar Vishwanadhula for IIMA.
We had an exceptional experience with the Skynet portal, developed by EdTex, during the placement process at IIM Lucknow. The platform's automation of scheduling interviews and GDs played a pivotal role in ensuring a smooth and seamless placement process. A special mention to Shrikant, Abdullah, and Anil for their unwavering support throughout the placement season. Their availability, even at odd hours like 12 AM, ensured a hassle free experience for both students and recruiters.
EDTEX did an excellent job of integrating and automating all the activities of our admissions process including shortlisting, scheduling of personnel interviews and generating the list of final selected candidates in an extremely user-friendly product.
I strongly recommend EDTEX to anyone who is looking for software solutions related to any academic and placement related activities. Their team will be there to support you always, their solutions are also fool proof.
Had a really positive experience using this portal for my colleges placement process. The team was also very helpful in resolving any issues ASAP.
IIMB is extremely satisfied with the efficient support being provided by the EDTEX team during the Course Bidding rounds and while scheduling the term Timetable.
EDTEX Skynet transformed our placement process by digitalizing workflows and making key data easily accessible. For the Placement Office, its interactive dashboards provide actionable insights, improving placement outcomes and student preparation. For students, it’s a one-stop platform for tracking progress and accessing placement data.
