University Timetabling Problem: An analysis of the state of the art

The University Course Timetabling Problem is regarded as one of the most significant administrative activities in academic institutions. It is framed as a combinatorial optimisation problem involving the scheduling of courses, students, lecturers, and classrooms, making it extremely complex. This work presents an analytical study of the Timetabling Problem, including its classifications, techniques, advantages, disadvantages, and a case study based on the model implemented at the Instituto Tecnológico de Ciudad Madero.
