Minors & Honours

Minor and honours track allocation for universities

Minor streams and honours tracks are the most oversubscribed choices on campus, and the most politically sensitive to allot. Allotix runs them on ranked preferences and a transparent merit order, so the result holds up when it is questioned.

The most contested seats on campus, allotted the least rigorously.

Everyone wants the same three minors. Capacity is real, demand is not evenly spread, and the decision is usually made in a spreadsheet by one overloaded coordinator.

Demand concentrated on a handful of popular streams
Cohort caps that must not be exceeded under any circumstances
Eligibility gates tied to CGPA or prerequisite coursework
Appeals that the coordinator has no audit trail to answer
Multi-year tracks, so a bad allotment follows the student for years

How it works

How Allotix runs minor & honours allocation

Define the tracks and their caps

Set up each minor or honours track with its cohort capacity and any CGPA or prerequisite eligibility gate.

Collect ranked track preferences

Students rank the tracks they qualify for, seeing eligibility requirements and capacity before they commit.

Allot on a defensible merit order

Allocation runs in CGPA order against the ranked lists, so the most contested tracks fill by a rule you can state out loud.

What you get

Cohort capacity caps per track

FAQ

Minor & Honours allocation — frequently asked questions

Can we set a minimum CGPA for an honours track?

Yes. Eligibility rules are evaluated before allocation, so a student below the threshold never sees the track in their preference list and cannot be allotted to it. The gate is enforced by the backend, not just hidden in the interface.

How do we handle a minor that everyone wants?

That is precisely what preference-based allocation is for. Students rank alternatives, so when the most popular track fills, the engine moves each remaining student to their next viable choice rather than leaving them stranded. The demand report then tells you whether to open more capacity next cycle.
