Study timetable generator
This study timetable generator builds a weekly plan around the subjects you actually type in, not a generic band by class. Add each subject, mark the ones your child finds weak, say how many hours are realistically available on a school day, and it works out a proper day-by-day, subject-by-subject breakdown.
Weak subjects get counted twice as heavily as the rest when the time is divided up, and Sunday is always a shorter day that only covers the weak ones. If you want generic study-hour bands by class instead, see the separate study timetable guide - that page answers “how long should study take”, this one answers “what does my child’s own week actually look like”.
Build your study timetable
Build your timetable
Add your own subjects, mark the weak ones, and pick how many hours you actually have. Nothing you type here is sent anywhere.
Leave this blank for a plain weekly plan with no countdown.
This stays on your device. Your subjects and exam date are never sent to us or to anyone else. The whole plan is worked out inside your own browser, and nothing is saved when you close the tab.
Every subject gets its own block every weekday. Sunday is a shorter revision day on its own.

How the weighting actually works
Four subjects, two hours a day, Maths and Hindi marked weak. Here is exactly how that turns into minutes.
- Weight each subjectEvery weak subject gets a weight of 2, every other subject gets a weight of 1. With Maths and Hindi marked weak alongside Science and English, the weights are 2, 1, 1, 2, which add up to a total weight of 6.
- Turn hours into minutes, then work out one unit's shareAt 2 hours a day that is 120 minutes. Divide that by the total weight of 6 and one unit of weight is worth 20 minutes, comfortably over the 10-minute line that decides whether subjects get split every day.
- Give each subject its share, rounded to a clean 5 minutesMaths and Hindi (weight 2) each get 40 minutes. Science and English (weight 1) each get 20 minutes. Add them up and the day comes to exactly 120 minutes, with nothing left over.
- Give Sunday a shorter, weak-only revision slotSunday only covers the weak subjects, Maths and Hindi, at half the usual daily total: 60 minutes, split evenly at 30 min each.
| Subject | Weak? | Weight | Monday minutes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maths | Yes | 2 | 40 min |
| Science | No | 1 | 20 min |
| English | No | 1 | 20 min |
| Hindi | Yes | 2 | 40 min |
This table is produced by the same calculation the tool above runs, so it cannot drift out of step with it.
Why weighting weak subjects matters
An even split quietly wastes the strongest hours of the day
The instinctive way to build a timetable is to divide the available time equally across every subject. That treats a subject a child is already comfortable in the same as one that is actively holding them back, which means the weak subject gets exactly the same short block as everything else, week after week, and never catches up. Weighting fixes this directly: a subject marked weak gets counted twice, so it draws roughly twice the time of an ordinary subject, without disappearing from the rest of the week either.
This is also why the generator does not simply hand all the time to weak subjects and drop the rest. A child who stops touching their stronger subjects for weeks tends to lose ground there instead, and a timetable that quietly creates a new weak subject to fix an old one has not actually helped. Doubling the weight is a real tilt without being an all-or-nothing one.
Splitting and rotating are answers to different problems
With a generous number of hours and a handful of subjects, every subject can get a real, separate block each weekday, and that is what the tool does. The trouble starts when there are many subjects and not much time: divide 30 minutes six ways and each subject gets five minutes, which is barely enough to open a book, let alone work through anything. Past that point, splitting every day stops being useful, so the tool switches to a rotation instead: a smaller number of subjects each day, cycling through the full list over the week, with weak subjects coming round twice as often as the rest. Fewer, longer sessions beat more, shorter ones that are too brief to hold a child’s attention.
Why Sunday is deliberately different
Every day in this plan except Sunday follows the same weighted logic. Sunday breaks from that on purpose: it covers only the subjects marked weak (or, if none are, the full list), and it runs at roughly half the length of an ordinary day. A week that never lets up eventually gets abandoned altogether, and a single lighter day that still targets the genuinely weak spots does more for a struggling subject than an identical extra weekday would.
How this differs from the study-hour bands
The separate study timetable guide on this site answers a different question: roughly how long should study take at a given class, independent of which subjects a child actually has or which ones give them trouble. That is a reasonable starting point, particularly if you have never timed a study session before. This tool picks up from there. Once you know roughly how many hours are realistic, use this page to turn that number into an actual week, built around your child’s real subjects and their real weak spots rather than a class-wide average.
Using the plan well
- Re-mark weak subjects every few weeks. A subject that stops being weak should stop drawing double time.
- Set hours you can actually keep, not the maximum you can imagine. A 45-minute plan followed daily beats a 2-hour plan abandoned by Wednesday.
- If the rotation branch kicks in, that itself is useful information: it means there is not enough daily time for the subject count, and something on the list may need cutting back rather than squeezed in.
- Print the sheet at the start of the week rather than checking the screen each day. A pinned paper copy gets followed more often than a browser tab.

About the study timetable generator
How is this different from the study timetable guide already on this site?
The study timetable guide gives generic hour bands by class, for example around an hour a day for Class 3 to 5. It does not know your child's subjects or which ones are weak. This generator does the opposite: you type in your own subjects, mark which ones need more attention, and it builds an actual weekly timetable with real minutes against each subject.
Why do weak subjects get double the weight instead of, say, triple?
Doubling is a large enough tilt to be felt in the plan without crowding out everything else. A subject weighted three or four times as heavily starts pushing every other subject down to a token few minutes, which usually means a child stops touching their stronger subjects altogether and those slip instead. Doubling keeps every subject present every week while still giving the weak ones noticeably more room.
Why does the plan sometimes rotate subjects instead of splitting every day?
Splitting only makes sense when each subject's share works out to a usable block. With many subjects and few hours, an even split can fall under 10 minutes per subject, which is too short to actually study anything. Past that point the generator instead rotates a smaller number of subjects through each day, still weighting weak subjects to come round twice as often, so each session that does happen is long enough to matter.
Is my child's exam date or subject list stored anywhere?
No. Nothing you type into this tool is sent to us or to anyone else. The subjects, the hours per day and the exam date all stay inside your browser, the timetable is built there too, and everything disappears the moment you close or refresh the tab. Print it if you want to keep a copy, and see the privacy policy for how the rest of the site handles data.
How many hours a day should I actually set?
Set what is realistically available, not what sounds ambitious. If you are unsure what is reasonable for your child's class, the separate study timetable guide gives typical bands by class, from around 30 minutes at Class 1 to two hours by Class 9 and 10. Use that figure here, then let the tool decide how to split it across subjects.
Still weak in the same subject after a timetable?
A timetable fixes routine, not a genuine gap. If the same subject stays weak week after week even with extra time, message us and we will point out what to check before adding more hours to it.
