Abstract: The present disclosure provides method of scheduling multiple coils in PLTCM. The method comprises classifying the multiple coils groups and generating an adjacency matrix corresponding to the multiple coils. Further, creating a set of coils by selecting a coil from each group. Subsequently, selecting and adding first coil from the set of coils and remaining coils from group associated with the selected first coil in sequence for forming a path. Further, sequentially adding selected subsequent coil and remaining coils of a group associated with the selected subsequent coil. Further, a position of two consecutive coils are swapped in the path on the directed graph. Subsequently, a new path of coils is obtained. Steps from selecting the first coil to obtaining the new path of coils is iteratively performed. Consequently, a final path of coils is selected having a maximum number of coils among the obtained new path of coils.
