Quick Answer:
Effective school time table setting eliminates scheduling conflicts, optimizes teacher workloads, and ensures compliance with CBSE, ICSE, and Tamil Nadu State Board norms. Chennai schools using automated timetabling reduce admin hours by 80%, prevent double-booked labs or rooms, and sync changes instantly to the parent app. TACHY SCHOOL ERP delivers this as part of a 25+ module suite starting at Rs.49/student/year with a 3-7 day go-live and free data migration.
Chennai schools manage complex constraints: split shifts for State Board and CBSE streams, rotating lab schedules, part-time language teachers, and transport-linked dismissal times. A manual spreadsheet approach leads to:
Automated school time table setting solves these by encoding rules once — max periods per teacher, mandatory breaks, lab-block lengths, shift timings — and generating conflict-free grids in minutes.
The engine ingests your master data: teacher contracts, subject-period requirements per board, room types, shift definitions, and transport windows. It then applies constraint-solving algorithms to produce:
Any change — a teacher resignation, new section added, exam schedule overlay — triggers a re-optimization that preserves existing constraints. The updated timetable pushes to the parent app, teacher portal, and digital signage instantly.
| Challenge | Manual Workaround | TACHY Automated Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dual-board streams (CBSE + State Board) | Separate Excel files, manual cross-check | Unified engine with board-specific rule sets |
| Part-time Sanskrit/French teachers | Paper availability sheets, frequent conflicts | Contract-hour limits encoded; auto-assigns only valid slots |
| Transport-linked dispersal | Fixed dispersal time for all classes | Staggered dispersal by route; timetable respects bus departure windows |
| Heat-wave half-day orders | WhatsApp broadcast, confusion | One-click "Summer Mode" compresses periods, keeps core subjects |
| Substitute management | Phone calls, no record | Auto-suggests free teachers by subject competence; logs substitution |
TACHY’s timetable module checks every box above and integrates with attendance, exam, and fee modules so a period change auto-adjusts substitution pay and transport alerts.
TACHY SCHOOL ERP starts at Rs.49/student/year — no per-module licensing, no hidden setup fees. That single price includes:
Compare this to legacy vendors charging Rs.150–300/student/year plus annual maintenance contracts and separate timetable software licenses. For a 1,200-student Chennai school, TACHY totals Rs.58,800/year — often 60–70% lower than incumbent ERPs.
| Day | Activity |
|---|---|
| 1 | Kick-off call; collect master data (teachers, subjects, rooms, shifts, board norms) |
| 2 | Data validation & migration; rule-configuration workshop with academic coordinator |
| 3 | First timetable generation; conflict review with HODs |
| 4 | Teacher/parent app rollout; substitute workflow demo |
| 5 | Transport dispersal mapping; summer/heat-wave mode setup |
| 6 | Parallel run — paper vs. system; staff Q&A |
| 7 | Go-live; hypercare support via dedicated WhatsApp group |
Schools with clean data often go live on Day 4. The fastest Chennai implementation was 3 days for a 900-student CBSE school in Velachery.
Yes. The engine maintains separate rule sets per board — period length, subject weights, mandatory co-scholastic slots — while sharing teacher and room pools. You generate one master timetable that respects both frameworks simultaneously.
The substitute engine scans real-time teacher availability, subject competence tags, and max-period limits. It suggests the top 3 qualified substitutes, logs the assignment, and notifies the substitute, HOD, and affected classes via the app — all in under 30 seconds.
Absolutely. Every parent gets the TACHY Parent App (Android/iOS) with live timetable view, homework, attendance, fee dues, bus tracking, and circulars — no extra license, no per-parent fee.
