One of the most important segment of any successful school management system is the manner in which the student’s record are managed and maintained.

Each student's detailed profile is saved and all activities are recorded and made part of the personal profile of any particular student. This unification of information ensures that the management always can see the detailed history of every student any time.
Faculty Management
Like students; faculty is the second very important prong of the system. Each faculty member is assigned a unique identity and is traceable throughout the application. Complete details and in depth history of the faculty member is available at a click.

The Examination Planner helps you while assigning faculty members and rooms and doesn’t allow you to reallocate a resource twice.
Grade Management
It is a common norm for an established institution to have multiple grading system. This becomes quite a mess when not managed properly. GripAcademia® manages multi graded environment in an intelligent manger; keeping segments at bay and providing configurations to interact between each. The intelligent system assigns the grades on the basis of the marks obtained in a subject. The system manages the grades in such a manner that Previous graded results are not affected if the grading system is altered; that ensures that the fact remains as fact and no previous grades are disturbed.
Timetable Management
The most important and the most difficult segment is the management of Timetable in any school system. The intelligently designed timetable manager; allocates the class time slot carefully and doesn’t allow reallocation. More importantly against each slot a teacher is assigned and the system warns if a particular faculty member is being allocated above the threshold level. For the management of (when the teacher doesn’t come and other teacher takes class against it) that period; as par the policy the next available and in-turn faculty member is intimated and is guided to take the class.

Payroll Management
Generating staff’s payroll is a hectic job as all staff members and not the same cadre and not have the same perks and have different payroll. Some staff members are even attendance exempted and their payroll is not affected by the worked days. Thus handling all this manually is not an easy job and is surely prone to human errors; if done manually. The system; being a totally integrated one; removes all the hassle and brings simplicity and visibility to the school management. Payroll is generated automatically on the basis of attendances marked (Ref: Time and Attendance); and all calculations are done accurately and properly as per defined rules of the management.

Fees when calculated manually is like asking for trouble. No person can manually track such multi dimensioned financial values without making a mistake. Our system helps the account to and allows him to use his experience and expertise; thus making a winning combination. Dues are fed according to the subjects and grades. When the fee cycle runs; all dues are calculated automatically. If a certain additional payment is to be charged from the students this time; the account has the privilege to define a new payment head or use an existing payment head; and charge the amount either in percentage or value; and the system will add this amount to the net receivable against each student. Also the account has the authority to add additionally dues / fines against the specific students.

Management of Time and Attendance is the most important segment while managing students and schools. The system enables the management to manage this segment in a very easy manner providing optimum control of the subject. Grades that don’t require periodic and class based attendance can be marked as Singular Attendances while the management may choose to mark class based attendance of students by just selecting a single option; the rest is up to the intelligently designed attendance engine that manages all the related matters itself. Not only with respect to the students; the system is designed to handle staff time and attendances as well; in a fully integrated manner. All what the faculty has to do is to notify their attendance to the system (either swiping their card or scanning their thumb / finger or using a RFID based card; all on management’s choice) and the system will mark record of the particular member. Hassle free; error free; simplicity and control to the administration at its best. Later on methodical reports can be generated which reveal important information to the administration.
Student and Teacher Portal
Teacher and student are like bicycle wheels; the bicycle cannot move unless both wheels are moving in harmony. Thus; to provide a forum for interaction; the system has an in built portal that enables the students to post a query to the teacher either in private or as a group. Similarly the teacher can leave a post for its students; so that the students are aware of the upcoming event. This bonds the two entities together; increasing the efficiencies at both ends. The portal is accessible any time any place; so you are connected all the time.
