Support for additionals

  • For now, nothing extra needs to be done, as the script already scrapes whatever course you are free to choose (based on vacant slots), and these courses could be chosen as either additional or breadth. This would be more relevant once the webapp is developed so that there can be a clear distinguishment between electives and additionals in your generated timetable (see 3rd point here) Support for minors
  • To the best of my knowledge, there's no better way than manually defining the required courses, which can be found in ERP from Academic -> Subjects -> Minor Curricula (New Curricula) (it's a PDF). Something similar has been done in what-slot here
  • Once the courses are defined, some method can be used to specify in the final output (list of all courses) the courses that are required for a certain minor (for example, a new column could be added to display this info) Reflect the above on webapp
  • This can be ignored for now as the webapp is still under development

Further queries/follow-ups can be done on Slack.
