Exam hall seating arrangement is a complex task when allocation is to be done to numerous students. Maintaining a proper exam hall setup is one of the major concerns in many institutions. Automating this will reduce manual work and less paperwork. Our proposed work implements a PHP application with CRON job using an open-source package – PHP Mailer to send notification through email one-day prior to the exam date. This work also includes auto-allocation of seats based on the exam dates and timings, thereby ensuring no two students are allotted to the same seat. This project implements staff management, student management and hall seating management. Report generation is not achieved in many applications, and it is manually done. This is achieved in our project using the TCPDF open-source package, by generating PDF of the seating arrangement. The hall invigilating staff receive a mail with a PDF report showing details of every student assigned to the hall. The students receive a mail one-day prior to the exam and also an hour before the start of the exam starting their exam date, allotted hall number and block details.
