Public Exam Timetabling Data Sets

University of Melbourne Data Sets

Two data sets are available, with details about session restrictions and room capacities.

This data is made available with the consent of the Vice-Principal and Academic Registrar as a service to researchers interested in academic timetabling problems. To preserve the confidentiality of student records, all real student identification numbers have been replaced with arbitrary sequence numbers.

These data files are listed on this website in the exam timetabling section as MEL-F-01 (01s1 data set) and MEL-S-01 (01s2 data set).
