Prime Timetable vs Sonet Examination Management System

Prime Timetable provides automatic and manual timetabling for schools, universities, and similar institutions. Users can schedule multiple weeks at flexible times, move timetable cards in master and individual views, and divide classes into groups for electives. Its generator can account for pinned cards and forbidden time slots, then optimize teacher and student loads, gaps, room use, and building moves. Timetables can be customized, accessed from any device, printed as master or individual schedules, and exported to formats and apps. Data can be imported by copy and paste. The maker says timetables are backed up every 24 hours and the service is used in over 120 countries. The free plan is for evaluation and includes a web app for all devices, premium support, and a 30-day trial period; it requires an internet connection. Commercial plans enable offline work. Basic is for small and medium schools with up to 40 teachers, while Premium is for larger and campus schools with up to 100 teachers. Both commercial plans offer a web app and premium support, with pricing dependent on the selected plan duration.

Sonet Examination Management System is a cloud-deployed web system for handling examinations at educational institutions. It automates timetable creation, seating plans, marks entry and validation, result processing, and digital mark sheets. Timetables use course enrolment, faculty availability, and room capacity, and affected slots can be recomputed when enrolment or room availability changes. Seating plans consider room capacity and invigilator assignments and can separate students from the same class or section across rooms and floors. Internal and external marks can be checked against validation rules before results are affected. Grades and CGPA follow the institution’s grading scheme, including credit-weighted programmes with backlog handling. After finalization, the system produces digital transcripts and mark sheets for portal download. Students can submit and track re-evaluation requests. Sonet also describes AI support for question generation, answer evaluation, and anomaly flags, while faculty retain final decisions. Pricing is on request.
