MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051778 A) filed by MLR Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, Telangana, on April 23, for 'ai-based integrated academic management system for automated timetable generation, faculty substitution, and role-based learning management.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. B Murali Krishna; Mr. M Ravi Teja; Mr. M Prajith Balaji; and Ms. M Sahithi Reddy.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an AI-Based Integrated Academic Management System for Automated Timetable Generation, Faculty Substitution, and Role-Based Learning Management designed to enhance efficiency and automation in educational institutions. Conventional academic administration relies heavily on manual scheduling, fragmented communication channels, and disconnected management tools, which often result in timetable conflicts, inefficient faculty allocation, and increased administrative workload. The proposed system introduces an intelligent digital platform that integrates artificial intelligence, centralized data management, and role-based access control to streamline academic operations. The system architecture comprises a presentation layer, an application layer, and a data layer that collectively enable seamless interaction between students, faculty members, and administrators through web-based portals. The presentation layer allows users to access academic information such as schedules, assignments, and announcements, while the application layer processes requests, enforces role-based permissions, and executes institutional business logic. A core component of the system is an artificial intelligence engine that automatically generates optimized academic timetables by analyzing constraints such as faculty availability, course requirements, classroom capacity, and scheduling policies. In addition, the system includes an automated faculty substitution mechanism that identifies suitable replacement instructors during faculty absence to maintain uninterrupted academic sessions. A centralized database stores institutional data including user records, timetables, assignments, announcements, and analytics information, enabling efficient retrieval and real-time updates. By integrating intelligent scheduling, automated decision-making, and centralized academic management within a unified platform, the invention significantly reduces administrative effort, minimizes scheduling conflicts, and improves coordination among academic stakeholders while enhancing overall institutional productivity."
