Background of the Study
Efficient allocation of examination halls is essential for maintaining academic integrity and optimizing resource utilization. At Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, Birnin Kebbi LGA, traditional methods of exam hall allocation often lead to scheduling conflicts, underutilized facilities, and administrative inefficiencies. To address these issues, the design of a smart examination hall allocation system is proposed. This system leverages real‑time data analytics, automated scheduling algorithms, and IoT sensors to optimize the assignment of examination halls based on factors such as hall capacity, course enrollment, and exam duration (Okafor, 2023; Chinwe, 2024). By integrating with the university’s academic calendar and existing resource management systems, the smart system is capable of dynamically adjusting to changes in exam schedules and facility availability. The automated system reduces human error and minimizes the administrative burden by generating optimized timetables that avoid conflicts and ensure equitable distribution of resources. Additionally, features such as real‑time notifications and feedback mechanisms allow for continuous monitoring and adjustments, ensuring that any discrepancies are promptly addressed. Despite its advantages, the implementation of such a system faces challenges including data integration, system interoperability, and user acceptance. Pilot studies in comparable institutions have demonstrated that smart allocation systems can significantly improve resource utilization and enhance the overall exam experience for both students and staff. This study will evaluate the design, implementation, and operational performance of the smart examination hall allocation system, providing a framework for digital transformation in academic scheduling and resource management (Adeyemi, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
The current examination hall allocation process at Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, relies on manual scheduling methods that are inefficient and prone to errors. This leads to frequent scheduling conflicts, underutilization of available halls, and an increased administrative burden. Manual allocation often results in delayed processing and inconsistent resource distribution, negatively impacting the smooth conduct of examinations. Although a smart examination hall allocation system offers a promising solution by automating scheduling through real‑time data integration, its implementation is hindered by technical challenges such as ensuring accurate data capture from disparate systems, achieving interoperability with legacy systems, and securing user acceptance. Additionally, concerns about system reliability and the scalability of the proposed solution further complicate its deployment. This study aims to bridge the gap between traditional allocation methods and modern, automated solutions by evaluating the performance of a smart allocation system. It will compare the outcomes of the new system with the existing manual process, identify key operational and technical challenges, and propose strategies for effective system integration and stakeholder engagement. The objective is to create a robust, efficient, and user‑friendly framework for exam hall allocation that enhances resource management and ensures smooth examination operations (Chinwe, 2024).
