Thanks for raising this issue. Tester seem to misunderstood the 2 files that are being compared. The purpose and usage of the 2 files is entirely different. The file on the top is after the user has finished running the allocation algorithm and data is saved to an external file in the mentioned format. The file on the bottom is the format that the user should stick to when uploading data of a large batch of students as clearly stated in the UG. Tester seem to stick with the idea of iP
where data generated through the program will be saved and allowed to be pass through the program again (Closed Loop System). However, as mentioned at the start of the UG under Pre-Usage Guidelines
, the allocation results file is not meant to be re-inputted into the program. The program is design to have one input and one output where the output cannot be used as input (Open Loop System).
[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]

:question: Issue duplicate status
Team chose to mark this issue as a duplicate of another issue (as explained in the Team's response above)
Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
in the txt file save by the program, it shows the following format
in the documentation it shows a different format
