Model each club with its real capacity
Load every club, society or extracurricular with a hard membership cap, optional category quotas, and any eligibility gates (year of study, department, prior experience).
Clubs & societies
Club allocation software for student clubs and societies
Student clubs, cultural societies and extracurriculars have the same shape as electives: limited seats, ranked preferences, eligibility rules, and a result students will contest. Allotix runs club allocation on the same preference-based engine — so the cultural committee stops refereeing WhatsApp lists and starts publishing a fair allotment.
Limited club seats, unbounded student demand — decided in a group chat.
Popular clubs fill by who messaged first or who knows the coordinator. Membership caps get breached, quieter students get left out, and there is no record when someone asks why they were refused.
- Popular clubs oversubscribed many times over every semester
- Membership caps set on paper, then quietly exceeded
- First-come signup races and informal waitlists
- Year, department or skill eligibility checked by hand
- No audit trail when a student or parent questions the outcome
- Coordinators redoing the same scramble every intake
How it works
How Allotix runs club allocation
Open a preference window, not a signup race
Students rank the clubs they are eligible for. Submitting on day one confers no advantage over day last — which removes the stampede and the informal queue.
Allot against capacity and publish
Run allocation in a stated priority order — merit, seniority, lottery, or a rule your institution agrees — fill each club to its cap, and publish outcomes with the deciding rule attached.
What you get
Built for this allocation, not adapted to it
- Hard membership caps per club or society
- Ranked student preferences over eligible clubs
- Eligibility gates by year, department or prerequisites
- Configurable priority (merit, seniority, lottery, or custom)
- Coordinator-wise allotted member lists, emailed automatically
- Unallocated breakdown so leftover demand is visible for the next cycle
FAQ
Club allocation — frequently asked questions
What is student club allocation?
Club allocation is the process of assigning students to limited-capacity clubs, societies and extracurriculars based on the preferences they submit. Because popular clubs have hard membership caps and demand is uneven, allotment is a capacity-constrained matching problem — the same shape as open elective or internship slot allocation.
Can we limit who is eligible for a club?
Yes. Eligibility rules are evaluated before preference collection, so a club that is only open to second-year students, or to a specific department, never appears in an ineligible student's list and cannot be allotted to them.
Do we have to allot clubs on CGPA?
No. The priority basis is configurable. Many institutions use year of study, a lottery among equal-priority students, or a seniority rotation so the same cohort does not always fill the popular clubs. Whatever rule you choose is published with the result, which is what makes the outcome defensible.
Is club allocation different from open elective allocation in Allotix?
Mechanically, no — both are ranked preferences against capacity with eligibility gates. Club allocation is the same engine pointed at societies and extracurriculars instead of courses: membership caps instead of seat matrices, club coordinators instead of instructors, and a priority rule suited to student activities rather than academic merit alone.
