Educational institutions conducting multiple choice question (MCQ) examinations face significant challenges in organizing efficient and fair seating arrangements that minimize cheating opportunities while maximizing space utilization. Traditional manual methods are time-consuming, error-prone, and fail to optimize resource allocation effectively. This paper presents an automated web-based system for generating optimized MCQ examination seating arrangements using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript technologies. The system implements intelligent constraint-satisfaction algorithms to distribute students across examination halls based on multiple parameters including hall capacity, subject distribution, anti-cheating spacing requirements, and administrative preferences. The user interface provides intuitive controls for examination administrators to input parameters, configure constraints, and generate seating charts automatically. Implementation results from testing across multiple institutional scenarios demonstrate significant improvements: approximately 85-90% reduction in manual administrative effort, improvement in average hall utilization from 78.5% to 92.3%, complete elimination of allocation errors, and high user satisfaction ratings (4.3/5.0 for ease of use, 4.5/5.0 for practical applicability). The system successfully handles diverse examination configurations including multiple halls, varying capacities, different examination schedules, and complex student grouping requirements. Performance testing validates scalability up to 1,000 students across 20 examination halls with sub-minute processing times. This research contributes to educational technology by providing a practical, cost-effective, open-source solution that can be deployed in institutions of varying sizes without requiring specialized hardware, expensive software licenses, or extensive IT infrastructure.
