Questions students ask.

It reads the BBD timetable PDF, lets you tick the courses you are taking, and shows the week you would get with every clash named. Free, and it works without an account.

Not to look. The planner works without one. An account is what saves your plan, lets friends see your week on Compare, and emails you when the timetable changes your plan. Creating one takes a minute at Get started.

It keeps your plans on the server under your roll number, so they follow you to a new device. It emails you when the department posts a timetable that changes a class in your saved plan, and it greets you by name. Sign in from the link in the header, with your roll number and a code sent to your personal email.

Pick your semester and load it in one tap. That fills your week with every course that runs the same time in every section. Where it differs, pick a time in the course list. From there you adjust: choose a lab group, add or drop a course.

Search for it by course code. Search covers every semester, and a repeat section is labelled so you do not sit in one by mistake.

Green fits your week. Red is a clash. Amber means something is still open: a lab group to choose, or credits outside the 12 to 21 range. Blue marks a hybrid course.

Recorded lectures with no weekly slot. It counts for credits, and it cannot clash with anything because nothing is booked in your week.

Some sections split into lab groups that meet at different times. One of your courses has no group picked yet, so its lab stays off the week until you choose.

Some courses need another course first, set by the scheme of study. The planner flags it when you plan a course alongside its own prerequisite. It also flags a prerequisite you have marked as a retake. CU Online checks prerequisites at registration; the planner only warns.

Press Lock to pin a course you are definitely taking. It then shows Locked, and the course list hides anything that clashes with it. Unlock it before you can remove it from your plan.

Yes. Press Ctrl+Z, or the Undo arrow next to Reset, and the course comes back with its lock. Ctrl+Y redoes it, and so does Ctrl+Shift+Z. On a Mac use Cmd instead of Ctrl. The last fifty changes are kept for as long as the page is open, and undoing a Reset brings the whole plan back.

Yes. Sign in and open Compare, then add a friend by name or roll number, or open a plan link a friend sent you and add them there. Once you both share, tick them and their classes land on your grid, in their own colour.

Open Compare. Under Friends, find them by name or roll number and press Add friend. They see your week at once, and you see theirs once they accept the request on their own Compare page. A circle does the same for a whole group with one code.

Both. Share has Save as image, which draws a PNG sized for a phone, and Add to calendar, which gives you an .ics file that Google Calendar and Apple Calendar open. Each class repeats weekly until the term ends. Send on WhatsApp opens a message with your link already in it.

Yes, at /gpa. Five short tools: your GPA this semester, your CGPA with repeats, the average you need to hit a target, the final exam score for each grade, and the admission merit aggregate. Numbers come from the Registrar's own table, and marks never leave your browser.

The quiz and assignment split inside sessional marks, on /gpa/final, is not published anywhere we could verify. 15, 10, 25 and 50 is the common pattern, so that is the default. Your own course outline wins over it.

Yes. It is saved in this browser. The link is your backup if you switch devices or clear your data, and an account keeps it on the server too.

The department's own timetable PDF for the BBD programme. A script reads it into structured data, and the date printed on that PDF is in the footer.

No. Check the noticeboard before you register. The footer says which PDF this build was read from.

Islamabad. The timetable is the one the Department of Management Sciences at the Islamabad campus prints, so every section, room and lecturer here is Islamabad's. BBD also runs at other COMSATS campuses, Lahore among them, and their timetables are separate documents that are not in here. The scheme of studies is the one exception: the Registrar issues one scheme for the whole university, so the scheme pages apply at any campus.

We rebuild from the new PDF. Your saved plan stays. If a course you had is no longer offered in your section, the planner tells you how many courses were dropped and you can pick another section for them.

The PDF lists that course without a time, so there is nothing to draw on your week. Ask the department. We do not guess a time that was never printed.

Report it and we will check. Under the week there is a list of every record the script could not read from the PDF.

The PDF is what we build from, and the portal drifts from it during the term. Tell us which one is right and we will check.

At /scheme, one page per intake. It lists every course your degree is made of, which is a different thing from this term's timetable.

What you type in Set up, if you fill it in; your current plan; and a random id kept in this browser. If you create an account: your roll number, your name, your personal email, a check of your date of birth against a peppered hash on file when you gave one (the date itself is never stored, only compared), and the plans you save. Nothing about your account is ever shown publicly. We never store your IP address.

To send you your plan link and to tell you when the timetable changes. Nothing else. If you go on to create an account, we ask for a personal email there too, for the same two reasons: your sign in code, and a note when your saved timetable changes.

A BBD student at the Islamabad campus who keeps their name off it. It is not a university project. Questions and corrections go to support@cuiplanner.tech or through the feedback page.

Not yet. This term it covers BBD only. The way it is built does not depend on the programme, so others can follow.
