School Result Management System

Yes — auto-grade computation happens the moment marks are saved. The school configures its grade table once (e.g. CBSE-style A1 91–100, A2 81–90, B1 71–80, B2 61–70, C1 51–60, C2 41–50, D 33–40, E below 33), and every subject result is graded against it on save. No separate “run grade computation” batch step, no formula errors, no Excel rounding bugs. Each grade carries a configurable description (Excellent / Very Good / Good / Average / Working towards) which prints on the marksheet alongside the grade letter — perfect for NEP 2020 / HPC competency-style reporting.

Two stock printable marksheet formats are shipped today, both pulling from the same exam data. Format 1 is the compact grade-table marksheet preferred by schools that want a clean A4 print with subject, max marks, marks obtained, grade, and overall result. Format 2 is the detailed CBSE / NEP-style marksheet with three-tier breakup (Exam + Class Test + Unit Test), practical-vs-written split, grade with descriptor, and division. The school admin picks which to print; both can be printed on plain paper or pre-printed school stationery. A fully board-locked PARAKH HPC printable template is on our active product roadmap and rolling out shortly — details in our HPC software guide.

Yes — practical + written split is built into the class-subject mapping. For science, computer, art, music, physical education and any other subject with a practical component, mark the subject as practical-enabled on the mapping and split the max marks (e.g. Science: 70 written + 30 practical = 100 total). Marks entry then captures both components separately; the marksheet shows the breakup; the grade is computed on the combined total. This pattern is essential for ICSE schools (where practical-vs-written reporting is standard), for CBSE schools running computer / science / vocational subjects with practicals, and for state board schools with subject-wise practical exams. Same product, configurable per class-subject pair.

Yes — admit cards / hall tickets are generated from the same exam configuration with a single click per class. The admit card includes the school name, UDISE / affiliation number, exam name, student photo, name, class, section, admission number, roll number, exam date-and-time-wise schedule per subject, and the school stamp / signature block. Print all admit cards for a class in one PDF; distribute or hand over to parents at PTM. The same backbone supports admit cards for the formal Half-Yearly / Annual exams as well as for class tests and unit tests where the school wants a printed schedule. No separate exam-management software needed.

The three-tier exam system models how Indian schools actually run assessments under NEP 2020: (1) Exam — formal Half-Yearly / Annual / Quarterly exams with full subject-wise written and practical marks; (2) Class Test — monthly tests scoped to one or two chapters per subject; (3) Unit Test — lesson-level micro-assessments after each unit / chapter. Each tier has its own list of exams, max marks, grade table, division criteria, marks-entry workflow, and printable marksheet. The data feeds a unified term-end report card. This three-tier model is what makes continuous comprehensive assessment (NEP 2020’s headline ask) administratively manageable. Details in NEP 2020 school management software.

Yes — per-class grade tables and division criteria are supported. Primary classes (Nursery to Class 5) often use a softer grade table with descriptors (Excellent / Good / Working towards / Needs improvement) and no pass-fail; middle classes (6 to 8) use the standard CBSE A1–E grade table with division (First / Second / Third / Pass / Fail); senior classes (9 to 12) often add a stricter pass mark of 33% per subject. Apna School lets each class configure its own grade table and its own division criteria; the same exam configuration can therefore output age-appropriate marksheets for each class. This flexibility matters for HPC at primary stages and for board-conformant marksheets at higher classes.

Yes — result publishing happens through three channels: (1) the Android parent app (parents see marks + grades + division as soon as the school publishes the result for that exam), (2) WhatsApp result delivery (the school can broadcast a result-ready notice with a link to the marksheet, or push the marksheet PDF directly), and (3) printed marksheets (PDF generated from the dashboard, printed and distributed at PTM or fee-counter). The school controls publishing per exam — results are not auto-released; they go live only when the principal / exam controller clicks Publish. Until then, marks entry continues in the back-end without parent visibility, which is exactly the workflow Indian schools want.

Yes — the system is fully board-agnostic. CBSE schools get the A1/A2/B1/B2 grade table, the three-tier continuous assessment model, and the HPC data backbone. ICSE schools get the practical + written split per subject, ISC-style total computation at higher stages. RBSE / UP / MP / Bihar / state board schools get bilingual (Hindi-friendly) marksheet output, RTE-aware student records, and pass-fail at lower classes. The same product runs all three patterns — the difference is in configuration, not in code. For board-specific guidance see our CBSE school management software guide.
