Set supervisor capacity and domains
Each guide gets a hard load cap and a research domain, so students are matched against real availability rather than a rumour.

Project and guide allotment for final-year students
Every final year opens with the same scramble: students chasing the popular guides, guides quietly overcommitting, and a coordinator refereeing it all over email. It is a matching problem with capacity limits, which means it is an Allotix problem.
A matching problem currently solved by who knows whom.
Guide allotment is decided in corridors and WhatsApp groups. The students with the best networks get the best supervisors, and the coordinator absorbs every complaint.
- Popular guides oversubscribed five times over
- Supervisor load caps quietly breached, then discovered in April
- Allotment shaped by proximity and politics, not preference or fit
- Students with no informal network left with whatever remains
- No record of how any pairing was decided
How it works
How Allotix runs project & guide allotment
Students rank guides and topics
Students submit a ranked list of supervisors or project topics they would accept, with eligibility gates where a guide requires specific coursework.
Run the match and publish it
The engine allots in merit order against supervisor capacity, and every student and guide receives the outcome in writing.

FAQ
Project & guide allotment — frequently asked questions
Can supervisors express preferences too?
Two-sided preference matching is on the roadmap. Today, guides set a hard load cap and an eligibility gate, and students submit ranked preferences — which already removes the oversubscription and the politics. If two-sided matching is a requirement for your department, tell us during the demo; it directly shapes what we build next.
