There is nothing worse during Iqra University course registration than carefully selecting your subjects, only to realize that your classes overlap or you are stuck on campus from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM with massive dead gaps.

Because the standard IULMS interface just lists courses in a table, spotting time clashes requires manual mapping. Here is how to fix it.

## The Manual Way: Mapping Timings

If you want to build your schedule manually before hitting register on IULMS, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Check Prerequisites. Make sure you have cleared the required courses for the subjects you want. If a prerequisite is locked, IULMS will block registration anyway.
• Step 2: Draw a Grid. Grab a piece of paper. Write Monday to Friday across the top, and hours (8 AM to 6 PM) down the side.
• Step 3: Block out timings. Write down the exact start and end times for the theory classes AND the labs. Labs are usually the biggest cause of overlaps.

### Watch out for "Dead Hours"

A clash isn't just when classes overlap. A "Trap Schedule" is when you have a class at 8:30 AM, and your next class isn't until 2:30 PM. You lose your entire day waiting on campus. Try to group your classes back-to-back or with a maximum 1-hour lunch break.
