  It is the efficient use of resources expected from an exam scheduling
application. There are various criteria for efficient use of resources and for
all tests to be carried out at minimum cost in the shortest possible time. It
is aimed that educational institutions with such criteria successfully carry
out central examination organizations. In the study, a two-stage genetic
algorithm was developed. In the first stage, the assignment of courses to
sessions was carried out. In the second stage, the students who participated in
the test session were assigned to examination rooms. Purposes of the study are
increasing the number of joint students participating in sessions, using the
minimum number of buildings in the same session, and reducing the number of
supervisors using the minimum number of classrooms possible. In this study, a
general purpose exam scheduling solution for educational institutions was
presented. The developed system can be used in different central examinations
to create originality. Given the results of the sample application, it is seen
that the proposed genetic algorithm gives successful results.1
