Creating curricula and syllabuses is a crucial aspect of education. How well students are trained in computer science determines how good the students will be in the subject.A given course's syllabus is determined by several factors, including the objectives of the course, the resources available, the amount of time allotted, feedback from previous students, employers, and alumni, the aptitude of the learners, etc. Before developing a syllabus, course experts use a manual method that takes into account some variables and updates the syllabus as needed. Automation of the syllabus creation process is important because the needs of the software sector are always changing.This paper put out a model to make the process of creating syllabuses easier. The capability to design, modify, and store curricula will be offered by the model. Our model takes into account two factors: input from the industry and open-source course curricula from different universities. It will provide recommendations to the person who prepared the syllabus regarding its content based on these factors. The syllabus creator will finalize the contents by considering the suggestions given by the model and other attributes upon which it depends.
