Abstract

An invigilator is a person who supervises students during examinations in educational systems. Assigning invigilators to exams is an important phase in the exam scheduling process. The problem has its own constraints and a multi-objective structure. Hardly any mathematical models have been used in the past. Mostly, heuristic approaches are used to assign invigilators to exams.
