Abstract:

Exam timetabling problems is one of the most popular problems in academic environment. These schedules can sometimes be done manually, so students might face lots of problems such as; having more than one exam in the same time slot or in the same day. In this research, exam timetabling problem is tried to be solved considering the demands of both lecturers and students. For exam timetabling problems, a new mathematical model is generated. However, this mathematical model can not solve large size problems in a short time, so a new heuristic method based on the mathematical model is constructed. In this research, Xpress-MP software which is one of the most popular programmes in optimization is used. Moreover, the heuristic method is applied to Fatih University dataset.
