Abstract: The Constraint-Based Intelligent Exam Seating Optimization System is developed to automate the process of assigning seats to students during examinations in an efficient and organized manner. In many educational institutions, exam seating arrangements are prepared manually, which can be time-consuming and may lead to errors, especially when handling a large number of students. This project aims to simplify and optimize the seating arrangement process by using constraint-based techniques that ensure proper seat allocation while following specific rules and conditions. The system considers important constraints such as preventing students of the same subject from sitting next to each other, maintaining classroom capacity, and ensuring a fair distribution of students across available examination halls. By processing student information and available room data, the system generates an optimized seating arrangement quickly and accurately. Additionally, the system includes notification features that inform students about their exam seat number and room details through email and SMS alerts. This reduces confusion and improves communication between administrators and students. Overall, the proposed system helps educational institutions manage examinations more effectively by reducing manual effort, minimizing errors, and improving the overall efficiency of exam seating management.
