Excel is a calculator, not a scheduler. It does not know if Mr. Gupta is already teaching Class 9 at Period 3, or if the Computer Lab is empty. When you edit cells manually, accidental clashes are inevitable.
Timetable Baba converts constraints into mathematical rules. The software check limits automatically, saving days of administrative work during new term setups.
