MeetUp: An Appointment Booking System using Flutter and Django Framework : MeetUp: Meetings Made Easy

A ubiquitous problem faced by students and teachers of an educational institute is to arrange for meetings in an effortless manner and at a time which suits both. Teachers usually have a fixed time table for their regular classes, but they often get busy with impromptu meetings, extra classes, official work, etc. Since these situations are frequent and unpredictable, students willing to meet the teachers outside the regular class time often find it difficult to do so. To reduce the hassle of waiting for teachers and searching for them around the campus, this paper proposes a teacher-student appointment system named ‘MeetUp’. This application allows a teacher member to upload their timetable from which free slots of the teacher will be extracted and shown against the respective teacher on the student portal, which will help students request for an appointment time that is viable for both the members. This system not only benefits the students but also helps the teachers manage their time as students would only show up with prior appointments and the teachers have the authority to accept an appointment request at their convenience. Meetup is built for native android users using Dart language based Flutter framework and python based Django Framework.
