A school ERP that respects how Indian schools actually work.
CBSE, ICSE and State-board ready. 35 modules — attendance to admissions, payroll to PTM. Mobile-first because principals work on a phone. ₹10 per student per month, and the first month is free with no student limit.
Updated 11 July 2026What is a school ERP?
A school ERP is one application that holds the records a school otherwise keeps in registers, Excel sheets and someone's head — the student roster, daily attendance, fee dues and receipts, exam marks, staff records and payroll. Instead of each register living with one person, everything sits in one database, and each role sees only what it should: the class teacher marks attendance, the office collects fees, the principal watches both, and parents see their own child.
For an Indian school, the ERP also has to speak Indian: UDISE+ returns, board formats for CBSE, ICSE and State boards, fee collection over UPI, and payroll that produces EPF, ESI and TDS filings rather than just salary slips. Acadovia is a school ERP built specifically for that. It costs ₹10 per active student per month, and the first month is completely free with no student limit.
What does a school ERP cost in India?
Most vendors make this question hard on purpose — per-student prices, per-module surcharges, "request a quote" forms. Ours is one number: ₹10 per active student per month on the Standard plan, everything included, ex-GST, no setup fee. Schools that want fewer modules can take a Custom plan at a flat fee instead. Here is the arithmetic:
| School size | Monthly | Per year | Per student per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 students | ₹2,000 | ₹24,000 | ₹120 |
| 500 students | ₹5,000 | ₹60,000 | ₹120 |
| 1,000 students | ₹10,000 | ₹1,20,000 | ₹120 |
Whatever ERP you evaluate, ask for the all-in annual number — licence, GST, setup, data import, training and every module you actually need — before you compare anything else.
Which modules are included?
Acadovia has 35 modules: 9 core modules every school gets from day one — the student roster, classes, the principal's dashboard, settings and support among them — and 26 optional modules you switch on as your school needs them. The optional list covers attendance, fees, staff, notices, exams and report cards, payroll with EPF/ESI/TDS compliance, double-entry accounting with Tally export, admissions, UDISE+ and CBSE compliance exports, timetable, library, hostel, inventory, discipline, health records, leave, homework, the NEP Holistic Progress Card, PTM scheduling, ID cards and marksheets.
One honesty note, because module lists are where ERP marketing usually lies: everything above is live today. What is not live: WhatsApp and SMS delivery is on our roadmap — today notices reach parents in-app and by email (live since July 2026, opt-in per user). Better to read that here than find out in month two.
How do parents pay fees — do you need a payment gateway?
No gateway is required. Parents pay by UPI — they scan the school's own QR code from the parent portal or at the fee desk, pay from any UPI app, and submit the UTR number. The office verifies the UTR and the payment posts to the ledger with a receipt, automatically. Because the money moves straight from the parent's bank account to the school's, there is no gateway commission on any payment. Cash and cheque are recorded in the same ledger, so all three channels reconcile in one place. Gateway-style online payment links (via Razorpay) are on our roadmap; they are not live today.
Where does your school's data live?
On Indian servers — AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1) — encrypted with TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest, with daily backups and 7-day point-in-time recovery on every school's data. Access control is enforced in the database itself, not just the interface, and the product is built with the DPDP Act 2023 in mind. Your UDISE+ return draws from the same records, so the roster you run the school on is the roster you file.
