Running a college is not the same as running a school. Students choose groups and subject combinations, fees change by program, many students live in a hostel or ride college transport, and parents are less involved while students want their own access. A college management system has to handle all of it.

What makes a college different

  • Programs and groups — FSc Pre-Medical, Pre-Engineering, ICS, FA, I.Com, and BS or associate degree programs.
  • Elective subjects that change which teachers and timetable a student follows.
  • Fee structures per program, often with installments, scholarships and merit concessions.
  • Board and university exams alongside internal tests.
  • Hostels and transport for students from outside the city.
  • Student portals — college students check their own attendance and results.

Core modules for a college

Admissions with merit lists

Record applications, admission tests and previous board marks, then enrol accepted applicants straight into students. See our admissions checklist.

Fees by program and installment

Separate fee structures for every program, with scholarships, concessions and installment plans, and hostel and transport fees attaching to the same challan.

Attendance and the 75% rule

Track subject-wise or daily attendance and spot students falling below the required percentage before exams, not after. Biometric devices at the gate cover both students and staff.

Timetables

Classes, sections, subjects and teacher assignment in one place — read timetable scheduling best practices for colleges.

Exams and results

Internal tests, send-up exams and term results with grades and positions, plus support for board exam preparation.

Hostel and transport

Rooms, beds, roll call and gate passes in the hostel; routes, stops and vehicles for transport — each billed automatically. See hostel management and transport management.

Accounts and payroll

Full accounting and staff payroll, including visiting faculty, so the principal and board see the college's finances clearly.

Student, parent and staff apps

One role-aware app on Android and iPhone in your college's own name: students see their own records, parents see their child's, and teachers mark attendance and enter marks.

Colleges with several campuses

Groups of colleges get every campus in one account with consolidated reports — admissions, collection and results across the group, with each campus still managing its own data.

Frequently asked questions

Can the same system run our school and college sections?

Yes. Many institutions run a school and a college together; each can have its own classes, fee structures and grade scales.

Can we host it on our own server?

Yes — on-premise or dedicated cloud hosting is available on the Enterprise plan. See pricing.
