Abstract

Automatic seating arrangement is a way of conducting examination with little or no stress for either the students or the invigilators. This research aimed at developing a system for the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro, to simplify the problem of allocating and seating arrangement for students. The system allocates invigilator to a particular hall and generate seat for students based on their departments and matriculation numbers. The system was implemented using initial solution, the neighborhood exploration and the termination criteria which involve the registration /allocation, log-in and questionnaire pages. Programming languages such as SQL, PHP, HTML and CSS were all incorporated into the main function of the algorithm, the output web page was developed using LARAVEL – a framework of PHP programming language. The system showed clearly an efficient and faster approach to management of seats and examination halls as well as minimizing the occurrence of seat redundancy in the examination hall with avoidance of duplication of student or staff record pertaining to examination. The system is therefore recommended for use at the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro since the database was populated with records of students and staff of the institution meanwhile an adaptation to any other institution is possible.
