Custom school management software for Indian schools
CodersDuniya builds custom school management software covering admissions, fee collection, attendance, exams and report cards, timetables and parent communication on WhatsApp. A focused system usually costs ₹2.5–6 lakh (plus GST) depending on modules and number of branches, delivered in phases so the fee module can go live first.

Who it's for
Schools (CBSE, ICSE, state board), colleges and school groups with multiple branches.
Problems it solves
Fee collection is a monthly headache
Manual receipts, unclear dues and phone calls to parents. Online payment and automatic reminders fix most of it.
Attendance and marks on paper
Teachers fill registers, then someone types them up. Direct entry on a phone saves hours.
Parents keep calling the office
Fees due, homework, results and notices — sent automatically on WhatsApp or the parent login.
Ready-made ERPs don't fit
Many schools pay for big ERPs and use 20% of it. A custom system includes only what you use.
Modules
Admissions & enquiries
Online enquiry form, follow-ups, admission records and documents.
Fees
Fee structures, concessions, online payments (UPI/Razorpay), receipts and defaulter reports.
Attendance
Class-wise attendance on mobile, absence alerts to parents.
Exams & report cards
Marks entry, grade rules and printable report cards in your format.
Timetable & staff
Timetables, substitutions and staff attendance.
Parent communication
WhatsApp/SMS notices, homework and results; optional parent app.
Custom or ready-made?
Custom-built
- Fits your exact fee rules and report-card format
- One-time build cost, no per-student fees
- You own the data and the software
Ready-made software
- Lower upfront cost
- Faster to start
- You adapt to its process; per-student or annual fees
Our honest view: If a ready-made ERP fits your school well, use it. Choose custom when fee rules, report cards or multi-branch needs don't fit, or when per-student fees add up across years.
Cost
A fees-and-records system for one school usually starts around ₹2.5 lakh plus GST. Multi-branch groups with all modules are typically ₹4–6 lakh.
