FET is a free and open-source time tabling app for automatically scheduling the timetable of a school, high-school or university. FET is written in C++ using the Qt cross-platform application framework. Initially, FET stood for "Free Evolutionary Timetabling"; as it is no longer evolutionary, the E in the middle can stand for anything the user prefers.[2]
Custom versions of FET are available for a variety of special circumstances.[3] Custom versions include those designed for the Moroccan school system, the Algerian school system, and a version that supports planning for block timetables (commonly used in North American and International Baccalaureate schools).
