Using AI in Scheduling Courses Registration Timetables to Reduce the Challenges in University Systems

Abstract

The registering for courses and the registration department are facing some issues and challenges in making the registration process or the enrolling process smooth. The registration department is the most important part of the student’s journey. The student should plan his graduation by deciding what courses to register for each semester. As the number of students increases, there is some lack of sections, and it’s becoming harder to manage all these requests in a short time. As the registration department is getting a lot of graduating students, there are not enough sections for the graduates, and the technique of registering the courses for students is still not updated due to the huge number of students who are enrolling, so the students start registering early, and some students are having trouble registering for courses through the college app. This study aims to investigate the effect of the number of students and class sections on the registration process. This research has been conducted with information based on data collected from three randomly selected universities located in the UAE. The sample that has also been chosen for the study is 150 students using the probability sample technique. The way applied to the selection of the sample was based on important variables such as the different students’ genders and nationalities, as well as the different groups ages. The research study highlights the existence of obstacles in the course registration process, which has a detrimental impact on the academic performance of employees at institutions in the UAE. Nevertheless, UAE institutions are currently facing issues that can be effectively addressed by efficient management and adherence to organizational directives.
