Managing tasks is a universally essential practice across all professions. In academics, where managing information overload is key, organizing when and what to study becomes critical to a student’s success from school through university. The idea for b1tSched originated from personal experience in the first semester at UITS, where task management began with Google Keep. Despite its simplicity, it allowed the developer to stay ahead of academic responsibilities, often even reminding class representatives (CRs) about forgotten assignments.

However, as academic complexity increased, Google Keep's limitations became evident—its single-line list structure was insufficient for detailed tasks. The switch to Google Tasks brought improvements: multi-line descriptions and multiple task lists. Still, the broader issue remained—there was no centralized system where students could view all essential academic updates and deadlines.

Inspired by the flexibility of Google Forms and Sheets as anonymous collaborative tools, the concept of using Forms for input and Sheets for dynamic task management was born. This led to the creation of the first prototype: http://ouits-scheduler.netlify.app. Building on that concept, b1tSched was developed as a complete academic dashboard—combining routines, calendars, advisor info, and task tracking—all accessible in one place for students. b1tSched is a centralized academic management platform built for students of UITS. It provides several academic facilities including department-wise routines, academic calendars, advisor lists, and a dynamic task scheduler. The goal is to reduce academic confusion and improve task tracking and information access through a unified, user-friendly interface.
