What is a homework management system?
Set once. Seen in every home.
A homework management system is school software where teachers set homework, assignments and projects for a class — with a due date, files and marks. Parents get it on their phone, children hand it in as a photo or on paper, and the teacher marks it and gives feedback — while the school sees who has done it and who hasn't.
Also called a homework app for schools, an online homework system or assignment management software.

Why schools move from homework diaries and WhatsApp groups to a homework app
Diaries. Groups. Piles. Or one homework.
On paper, homework is copied off the board, asked about in the parents' group and checked from a pile. In Inkwelly it's set once and followed to the last child.
How most schools do it today
Copied off the board. Asked about at night. Checked from a pile.
- Homework written on the board and copied into diaries — and some copy it wrong
- Parents ask “aaj ka homework kya hai?” in the class WhatsApp group
- No one knows who saw it and who didn't
- A pile of 42 notebooks, with no record of who handed in
- The principal hears about unchecked copies from parents
With Inkwelly
Set on the app. Every home told. Every copy counted.
- Set once on the app, with a photo of the worksheet
- Parents get it on WhatsApp, SMS, email or the app
- Read receipts show who opened it — and who didn't
- Photos and paper copies both counted; marks and feedback in one place
- The principal sees submission rates and the checking backlog, live
Give homework on the teacher app in a minute
Set it tonight. Home by 8 am.

Track homework submissions, read receipts and paper copies
Who opened it. Who handed it in.
Read receipts fill in as children open it, and photos come in through the evening. Notebooks handed in on paper are ticked and recorded in one go — so every copy counts.

Sample class. Late work is marked late — and a copy received on paper can be back-dated to when it came in.
Grade homework online — marks, grades and feedback
Check a copy. Or the whole class.
Open the photo, zoom in, and give marks, a grade and a line of feedback — or send it back for revision. Bulk grade fills a whole list and saves once. Aarav sees it in his app.
The Grade submission dialog beside Aarav Sharma's photo of his notebook, zoomed in: marks 9 out of 10, grade A, feedback “Great work. Recheck Q4 — to divide, multiply by the reciprocal.”, then Save grade. Aarav's app shows the homework as Graded, with Marks 9, Grade A and the teacher's feedback.
Sample class. No message is sent when work is graded — families see the marks and feedback in the app.
Homework dashboard for principals: submission rates and the checking backlog
The whole school. One health score.
How much homework goes out, how much comes back and how much is still to check — class by class and teacher by teacher, for the whole session.
Homework dashboard, session 2026-27: 1,904 homeworks (18 draft, 96 live, 1,712 closed, 78 archived), submission rate 87.4%, grading backlog 214 with 12 older than a week, average score 74%, and a health score of 84, Excellent; 23 due today, 118 this week, 9 overdue.
Sample school. Rates count every published homework × every child it reached; drafts never count.
One homework, from the teacher's phone to the marks
Set on Tuesday night. Checked by Friday.
Follow one maths homework through a week in Class 6-B. Every step is in the product — and the family can see it.

Homework for Indian schools: paper copies, Hindi messages and the 33% pass mark
Made for Indian schools. And their notebooks.
The way homework really works in India — notebooks, family phones, electives and evening messages — already handled.
Paper copies count too
Many children hand in a notebook, not a photo. Tick them as handed in — back-dated if needed — and they count like any other.
Messages in English or Hindi
Parents get the homework on WhatsApp, SMS, email or the app, in English or Hindi.
8 am, not 9 pm
Set homework at night and schedule it for 8:00 am, so it reaches families with the school day.
The 33% pass mark
On the teacher app, give marks out of 10, 20, 25, 50 or 100 and the pass mark starts at 33% — or leave it ungraded.
Your chapters, your board
Link homework to the chapter and topic in your lesson plan — whatever books your board uses.
Electives and split sections
Sanskrit or French? Homework reaches only the children who take that subject, not the whole class.
Homework for subject teachers, the principal, parents and students

Each person sees what their role allows — nothing more.

Sets homework on the app in a minute, sees who opened it, records paper copies, and grades one copy or the whole list.

Homework management system: questions schools ask.
A homework management system is school software where teachers set homework, assignments and projects for a class — with a due date, files and marks. Parents get it on their phone, children hand it in as a photo or on paper, and the teacher marks it and gives feedback, while the school sees who has done it and who hasn't.
On the Inkwelly app or the web. On the app it takes three steps: Set up (chapter, type, due date and marks, already filled from the lesson plan and the last homework), Write (title, instructions and a photo or file), and Review — exactly what the class will see. Then publish it, or schedule it.
Yes. When homework is published, the parents of every child it's for get a message on WhatsApp, SMS, email or the Inkwelly app — in English or Hindi, on the channels your school has switched on. It carries the subject, the title and the due date.
Yes. On the teacher app, choose Now, 8:00 am tomorrow, or any date and time. Until then it stays hidden from the class, and it goes out within a few minutes of the time you picked — with the parents' message.
From the Inkwelly app or the student portal: open the homework, add photos or files of up to 50 MB each, add a remark if needed, and submit. If the teacher returns it for revision, they can hand it in again.
The teacher ticks the child as handed in — one at a time or many together — and can back-date it to when the copy came in. It counts like any other submission, and the child's app shows that the teacher noted it down.
Yes. Read receipts show who opened it, when and how many times, and a Not opened filter lists the children to follow up with.
Only if the teacher allows it. With Accept late work on, work after the due time is accepted and marked late until the late deadline; otherwise submissions close at the due time. Staff can always record a copy — it's marked late if it came in after the due time.
Open a submission, look at the photos or files, and give marks, a grade and feedback — or return it for revision. Bulk grade fills marks, grades and feedback for a whole list and saves once.
Yes. Leave marks off and the homework is simply handed in or not, and you can still add a grade or feedback. With marks, the teacher app offers out of 10, 20, 25, 50 or 100, and the pass mark starts at 33%.
Yes, in the Inkwelly app: the status, marks, grade and the teacher's feedback appear on the homework. No separate message is sent when work is graded.
Yes. When the class's subject has a syllabus in Lesson Plans, the teacher picks the chapter and topic, and the class sees it on the homework. The app starts with the chapter being taught now.
Yes. Take a photo of the board, a page or a worksheet on the app, or attach PDFs and other files. Students and parents open them right inside the app.
Yes. Homework is set for a subject batch, so it reaches only the children who take that subject — an elective, a stream or a combined section — and only their parents are told.
A homework dashboard for the whole session: total homeworks, the submission rate, the grading backlog by age, the average score and a health score — plus classes below 70%, the teachers who assign and check most and least, a due-date calendar and alerts.
Yes. Unpublish takes it back to a draft and hides it from the class — messages already sent can't be recalled. Close stops new submissions but keeps it visible; Archive files it away as a read-only record.
Yes, on plans with Inkwelly AI. Ask “aaj kaun sa homework due hai?”, “who hasn't handed in homework in 6-B?” or “Aarav ka homework kaisa hai?” in English, Hindi or Hinglish, and get names, numbers or an Excel. It can publish a draft too — only after you approve.
Yes. Inkwelly works in English and Hindi, and parents get homework messages in English or Hindi.
Homework is in the Standard plan, at ₹99 per student per year (GST extra). Plans run ₹49–₹199 per student per year, with ₹0 migration, training and setup. WhatsApp message fees are billed at cost.
No. Homework starts fresh: classes, subjects and teachers come from Academics, so teachers can set homework the day you go live. Setup and training are ₹0.
