Inventor(s) include B Deepa; D Vinoparkavi; S Lakshmi Narayanan; T Jagan; T Kishore; R Malathi; and S Kiruthika.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The Automated Exam Hall Seat Allocation System introduces an Al-powered platform designed to intelligently generate fair, balanced and conflict-free seating arrangements for large student populations across multiple departments. The invention integrates a Genetic Algorithm based Optimization Engine that processes hall capacities, departmental distribution, student data and institutional seating rules to produce malpractice-resistant seating layouts in real time. This engine ensures maximum hall utilization, prevents clustering of students from the same department and eliminates duplicate seat assignments, thereby overcoming the limitations of manual or spreadsheet-based seat allocation methods. In addition, the system incorporates a Student Navigation and Access Module powered by a Graph Neural Network (GNN) capable of modeling the campus layout as a graph and guiding students to their designated exam halls. The MERN stack based web interface provides secure access for administrators to configure exams, schedule halls and generate seating, while students receive personalized seat information and hall details. The invention offers significant operational advantages, including reduced administrative workload, real-time automation, scalability for multi-campus deployment and enhanced examination transparency. This integrated system presents a comprehensive, intelligent and future-ready solution for modernizing examination management in educational institutions."
