Built for academic teams running real allocation cycles

Course & elective allocation software for universities

Run open electives, NEP-2020 baskets, minors, specialisations and sections without spreadsheet chaos. Allotix collects ranked student preferences, enforces your capacity and eligibility rules, and produces a fair allocation you can actually defend in a committee meeting.

One engine, every allocation

Every allocation your institution runs, in one platform

If more people want a seat than there are seats, and the decision has to be fair and defensible, Allotix can run it. The mechanism is the same every time: ranked preferences, eligibility rules, capacity limits.

How it works

How course allocation works in Allotix

From academic setup to published results in one guided workflow.

1

Configure event data

Import departments, courses, seats, eligibility rules, and student records for the allocation cycle.

2

Collect preferences

Open the student portal and collect ranked course preferences with clear submission tracking.

3

Allocate and publish

Run capacity-aware allocation, publish results, and export reports for academic teams.

Purpose-built portals

Admin and student portals built around the allocation cycle

Two separate portals: one for administrators managing the cycle, one for students submitting preferences.

Admin teams

Full control over every phase of the cycle.

  • Lifecycle control
  • Academic data management
  • Allocation operations
  • Reports and analytics

Students

A guided experience from login to results.

  • Verified access
  • Course discovery
  • Ranked preferences
  • Clear results

Report generation

Generate allocation reports your academic teams can act on.

After allocation, Allotix shows which courses are in high demand, which are under-selected, and where seats should be increased.

Allocation you can explain

Reports that explain every allocation decision

When a student asks why they didn't get their first choice, the answer should be a rule, not a shrug. Every run produces a distribution you can put in front of a committee.

The unallocated column is the one that matters. Allotix surfaces those students with a reason before you publish, so you intervene on purpose instead of discovering the problem afterwards.

5 phases

Every event moves through an explicit lifecycle, and the backend refuses actions that are invalid for the current phase.

Data stays in India

Student and institutional records are stored and processed in Indian data centres.

Every outcome

Traceable to a rule: the merit order, the preferences submitted, and the seat state at the moment of allotment.

Verified listing

Allotix reviews from verified users

Allotix is listed and verified on SaaS Browser. Reviews are submitted and approved there, so what you read below is not ours to edit.

Built for institutions

Security, access control and data residency for institutions

Allotix separates roles, scopes data to events, protects routes at the backend, and runs on cloud infrastructure that fits production deployments.

Role-separated portals

Purpose-built admin and student journeys keep responsibilities clear across every phase.

Backend-enforced phases

API guards prevent allocation, result publication, and reporting actions at the wrong time.

Firebase foundation

Firebase Authentication, Firestore, Cloud Run, and Cloud Tasks support a production-ready deployment.

Built-in communication

Email workflows keep students, departments, instructors, and administrators aligned.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about allocation software

What is course allocation software?

Course allocation software assigns students to limited-capacity courses based on the preferences they submit rather than on who registers first. It collects ranked preferences, applies eligibility rules, respects seat capacity, resolves the result in a stated priority order such as CGPA, and produces a record explaining every outcome. Allotix does this for open electives, NEP-2020 baskets, minors, specialisations and sections.

What kinds of allocation can Allotix run?

Anything shaped like 'more people than seats, and the decision has to be fair'. That includes open electives, NEP-2020 MDC, AEC, SEC and VAC baskets, minor and honours tracks, specialisation and branch allotment, section and lab-batch splits, student club and society allocation, project guide allotment, internship slots, hostel rooms and faculty workload.

How does Allotix decide who gets which seat?

Students are processed in a stated merit order, usually CGPA. For each student the engine walks their ranked preference list from the top and allots the first course they are eligible for that still has a free seat. The rule is published with the result, which is what makes the outcome defensible when a student appeals.

Is Allotix an ERP, or does it replace our student information system?

Neither. Allotix does one thing: it runs the allocation. It imports your academic data from Excel, produces the allotment, and exports the result back for whatever ERP or student information system you already use. It sits alongside your existing stack rather than replacing it.

Where is our student data stored?

In India. Student and institutional records are stored and processed in Indian data centres. Student access is authenticated through Firebase, admin routes are protected by JWT, data is scoped per allocation event, and direct client access to the database is denied by rule. The backend is the only path to institutional data.

Can Allotix replace first-come-first-served MDC and elective allotment?

Yes, and that is the usual reason institutions move. Most colleges already ask students for three ranked MDC preferences, then allot seats first-come-first-served and discard those preferences, so the outcome is decided by connection speed. Allotix runs the allocation after the preference window closes, which means submitting first confers no advantage. Preferences are resolved on your stated merit order against real seat capacity, and every outcome comes with the reason attached.

What data does Allotix need to run an allocation?

An Excel import of the academic data you already maintain: departments, courses with their seat capacity, eligibility rules and prerequisites, and the student list with whatever field your merit order uses, usually CGPA. Allotix collects the preferences itself through the student portal, then exports the allotment back to Excel for your ERP, noticeboard or student information system.

How is Allotix priced?

By allocation credit. One credit covers one student included in a completed allocation run, from ₹25 to ₹40 per student depending on the pack. Setting up events, importing data and collecting preferences cost nothing. Credits are only consumed when an allocation actually runs, and they never expire.
