You should explain a little bit better what you need.

A good exercise would be to try to know which are the constraints you have (are students of the same sex allowed in one room?) once you've got all your constraints, then you should start thinking on the database needed, how to store the data, which is the exact data you need, relationships between tables...

Once you've got this, then you should think on the GUI of your program... what do you want the user of the program to be able to do...

After that you will need to think of the algorithm that will access the data using the input from the user and that will give you results at the end.

In a few words: divide the problem in layers and then divide the layers in mini-problems. Then you'll be able to make it.

PS: This smells like homework...
