What is a student information system?

One record for every student.

A student information system (SIS) is school software that keeps one complete record for every student — admission details, family, documents, government IDs like APAAR and PEN, class history, promotion and Transfer Certificate. In Inkwelly, the office, the principal, teachers and parents all work from the same record.

Also called a student management system, student record system or student database software.

Why schools move to a student information system

Registers. Files. Excel. Or one record.

Most schools keep a child's story in five places. Inkwelly keeps it in one.

How most schools do it today

Five places. Typed again and again. Days for a TC.

  • Admission register in one cupboard, documents in another
  • The same details typed again for fees, exams and ID cards
  • Finding a child means flipping registers or scrolling Excel
  • A TC takes days because the history is scattered
  • A parent's new number reaches the office last

With Inkwelly

One record. Typed once. Every module uses it.

  • One record per child — details, family, documents and history
  • Typed once at admission. Fees, attendance, exams and ID cards use it
  • Any child found by name, father's name or mobile in seconds
  • TC printed from the record after one approval
  • Parents send corrections from the app. You approve them

Student search by name, father's name or mobile

Find any child. In seconds.

Type a child's name, a parent's name, a mobile number or an admission number. Two words work too — “aarav rakesh” finds the Aarav whose father is Rakesh. The right child shows up as you type.

The student profile: family, documents, APAAR, PEN and UDISE+

Everything about a child. On one screen.

Built the way Indian schools keep records — family, siblings, documents and government IDs, exactly where your office expects them.

  1. Father, mother or guardian, with one primary contact. Brothers and sisters are linked, so you see the whole family at once.

  2. Upload, then mark verified or rejected. See which required papers are missing — for one child or the whole school.

  3. Aadhaar, APAAR ID, PEN and ABC ID have their own fields. A UDISE+ section shows where your record and the government's differ.

  4. A meter shows how complete each record is, and exactly what is missing.

  5. Add the extra fields your school needs, in your own sections. No need to ask us.

From admission and promotion to Transfer Certificate (TC)

A record that grows up with the child.

How AI auto-fill works

APAAR, PEN, UDISE+ and RTE compliance for Indian schools

Made for Indian schools. And their paperwork.

The fields, lists and certificates that boards, UDISE+ and inspections ask for — already there.

  • APAAR, PEN and ABC ID

    Every government ID has its own field. List the children still missing one in a click.

  • UDISE+ match

    See where your record and UDISE+ differ, child by child, and choose which one is right.

  • RTE 25%

    Mark RTE admissions, then count or list them for any class.

  • Category, CWSN and BPL

    Recorded the way government forms ask for them, ready for every report.

  • Scholarships

    Scholarships stay attached to the child and carry forward at promotion.

  • TC in your board's design

    TC designs for CBSE, ICSE and State Boards. Duplicate and cancelled TCs stay on record.

Student management for the office, principal, teachers and parents

One record. Everyone on the same page.

Each person sees what their role allows — nothing more.

  • Front office

    Admissions, documents and TCs — and finding a child the moment a parent walks in.

  • Principal

    Class strength, RTE and category counts, and every approval: promotions, transfers and changes.

  • Class teacher

    Their class's students and parents' phone numbers, on the Inkwelly app.

  • Parents

    See their child's details in the app and ask for a correction. The office approves each change.

Inkwelly AI and AI Connect come with the Premium plan. Answers above are from a sample school.

One student database for fees, attendance, exams and ID cards

Type it once. Every module uses it.

Fees, attendance, exams, ID cards and transport all read the same student record. Change a phone number once — it's right everywhere.

Switching from your current school ERP or Excel

Switching from another ERP? We move your students.

Most schools come to us from another software. Moving your student records is our job, not yours.

  1. Extract

    Students, parents, addresses and class history — from an export, your Excel sheets or whatever route works. If your vendor won't share, we work from what you have.

    We do this
  2. Clean

    Duplicate siblings, dead phone numbers, students who left. You only answer a short list of questions.

    We do this
  3. Stage

    Your students in a real school you log into and check, class by class, before anything goes live.

    We do this
  4. Pick a date

    You approve and choose the day. Go-live can be the next working day.

    You do this
  • ₹0

    To move

    ₹0 migration, ₹0 training, ₹0 setup. Data extraction from your current system — or from Excel if the vendor won't cooperate — is on us.

  • Next day

    Go-live

    Go-live can be the next working day. You pick the date; we don't need months of parallel running to get there.

  • 90 days

    Pilot

    90-day paid pilot on your real data. If it isn't working at day 90, pro-rata refund and your data back in standard formats.

  • India

    Your data

    Your data is stored in India, with daily database backups and role-based access on every screen.

Student information system: questions schools ask.

  • A student information system (SIS) is school software that keeps one complete record for every student — admission details, family, documents, government IDs like APAAR and PEN, class history, promotion and Transfer Certificate. It is also called a student management system or student record system. In Inkwelly, the office, principal, teachers and parents all work from the same record.

  • A student information system (SIS) holds the student record — admission, family, documents, class history and TCs. A school ERP runs the whole school: fees, payroll, transport, exams and more. In Inkwelly, the SIS is one module of the full school ERP, so fees, attendance and exams all read the same student record.

  • Yes. Students come in through a CSV import where one row creates the full record — child, class, parents and address. Send us an export from your current software or your Excel sheets and we'll do the import for you, at no cost.

  • Yes. APAAR ID, PEN and ABC ID have their own fields, and you can list the children still missing any of them. Each record also has a UDISE+ section that shows where your data and the government's differ.

  • Yes. Mark a child as RTE, then count or list RTE students for any class. Caste category, CWSN and BPL are recorded too.

  • Start a transfer, withdrawal or migration from the student's record. Once it's approved, print the TC in your board's design. Every TC you issue stays on record, including duplicates and cancelled ones.

  • A guided wizard: pick the classes, check who is eligible, place students in their new sections, carry forward fees, transport and scholarships, then approve. If something goes wrong, you can undo it.

  • Parents can ask for a change from the Inkwelly app — personal details, parent details, address or bank details. The office sees the old and new value side by side and approves or rejects each one.

  • Yes. Siblings are linked on each record, so you see the whole family, and you can list the students who have a brother or sister in the school.

  • The record stays, marked transferred, withdrawn or graduated, with its full history. If a child comes back, you re-admit them with that history intact.

  • Your data is stored in India, with daily database backups and role-based access on every screen. Every module exports to standard CSV, Excel or PDF — including a full financial year for your accountant — and if you leave, we extract everything for you in those same formats. Staff see only what their role allows, and a deleted record goes to Trash first, so it can be restored.

  • Yes. Inkwelly works in English and Hindi.

  • Yes. One trust can run several schools in Inkwelly, each with its own students, and the people who manage more than one can switch between them.

  • Yes. The student record and the Transfer Certificate designs work for CBSE, ICSE and State Boards, and you can add any extra fields your board or state asks for.

  • On plans with Inkwelly AI, ask “Which students have no APAAR ID?” and get the names with their parents' numbers. Schools using the UDISE+ module also get a board of every student missing an Aadhaar, APAAR ID or PEN, with reminders to parents.

  • Once your UDISE+ data is synced, each student record has a UDISE+ section that shows, field by field, where your data and UDISE+ differ. For each field, use the UDISE+ value or keep yours, and the record is corrected.

  • Yes. The quick import takes one Excel sheet per class — profile, address, father, mother and bank details on the same row — and can download each child's photo from a link in the sheet. Every row is checked first, so you see problems before anything is saved.

  • Yes. Add the extra fields your school needs — house, bus stop, previous board or anything else — in your own sections of the profile, without asking us.

  • By your own rules. Set the format and prefix for admission numbers and student IDs once, and every new admission gets the next number in your series.

  • Yes. Pick the columns you need — class, parents, mobile, category and more — save the report as a template for next time, and download it as a spreadsheet. Inkwelly AI can also make the Excel for you from a plain question.

  • Student Information is included in every plan, from Lite at ₹49 per student per year (GST extra). Plans run ₹49–₹199 per student per year, with ₹0 migration, training and setup.
