The goal of this script is to assign exam centers to students.

Steps

  1. Prepare input files in the specified format.
  2. Run the program and re-run if -
    • Any school has students who have not been assigned a center.
    • Distribution across centers is uneven.
  3. Perform sanity checks of distributed centers.
  4. Manually reassign impractical centers and odd lot allocations. Keep changes to a minimum.
