School Management Software in Maharashtra

Yes — Maharashtra State Board (MSBSHSE) SSC and HSC exam patterns are fully supported. The exam structure, grade table, division criteria and pass-fail rules are configurable per class. Standard SSC patterns work cleanly: 35% pass mark per subject, the Half-Yearly + Annual + monthly Class Test pattern, the Class 9-10 (SSC) and Class 11-12 (HSC) split, the practical + written split for Science / Geography, and the bilingual English-Marathi subject naming. HSC stream-wise structure (Science / Commerce / Arts) is supported via configurable subject mapping. The same software simultaneously runs CBSE schools in Pune (Kothrud, Aundh, Hinjewadi) and Navi Mumbai, ICSE schools in Mumbai (Bandra, Powai), and SSC schools across Nashik, Aurangabad, Kolhapur, Solapur, Amravati and the smaller districts — without any code change.

Yes — Marathi (Devanagari) script is fully supported across Apna School. Student names, father / mother names, subject names, class names, fee-head labels and address fields can all be stored in Marathi. Fee receipts, marksheets, study certificates, transfer certificates and admit cards print correctly with Marathi text rendering. This matters for Marathi-medium SSC schools where parents prefer reading Marathi documents. The school can choose to print receipts entirely in Marathi, entirely in English, or bilingually with both scripts side-by-side. WhatsApp templates in Marathi are also supported for fee reminders, absent alerts and holiday notices — significantly higher engagement than English-only messages with the Marathi-medium parent base.

Yes — Maharashtra RTE 25% admission tracking is well-supported. The student record carries the RTE flag (Yes/No), caste category (General / OBC / SC / ST / VJNT / SBC / EWS), religion and aadhaar / SR number as first-class fields. The fee module is RTE-aware so the school can configure a fee waiver / concession profile for RTE-25% students, and the fee receipt prints with the correct RTE concession line for state-government reimbursement audits. RTE-wise enrolment reports are one-click. Maharashtra’s online RTE-25% lottery process and the subsequent state-government reimbursement workflow rely on accurate RTE-flagged data — Apna School delivers exactly that. For broader UDISE+ alignment see UDISE+ software.

Yes — the platform is designed for multi-section, multi-stream Mumbai / Pune / Nagpur schools. Plans scale by student count: START (≤ 250), SMART (≤ 500), SUPER (≤ 800) and PREMIUM (≤ 1,500). For schools above 1,500 students or multi-campus chains, custom enterprise pricing is available — contact us for a quote. The cloud infrastructure handles concurrent class-teachers marking attendance, fee clerks issuing receipts, principals viewing dashboards and parents using the parent app simultaneously without degradation. For Class 9-10 SSC + Class 11-12 HSC dual-section schools, the configurable class ladder handles both stages on the same database. Multi-academic-session support means rolling 1,500 students from one session to the next happens in one screen.

The Apna School subscription is a flat ₹4,999 / year with all modules unlocked — works out to about ₹8 per student per year for a 600-student school. Every module is included: students & attendance, three-tier exam system with SSC / HSC / CBSE / ICSE-conformant grade tables, fee collection with thermal-printer receipts, transportation, staff & payslip, accounting cash book, guardian directory, free parent app and free admin app. A free WhatsApp + SMS starter bundle is included. Compare this to competitor school ERPs charging ₹200–₹500 per student per year (which is ₹1.2L+ for a 600-student school in Mumbai or Pune) and the savings are obvious. The flat-yearly model also avoids the seasonal-cash-flow trap of monthly billing. See full details on the pricing page.

Yes — UPI fee collection is integrated. The school configures its own UPI ID (e.g. school@hdfcbank, school@axisbank) and prints / displays the QR. Parents pay from any UPI app — PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, BHIM, HDFC Mobile Banking, ICICI iMobile, Axis Mobile, SBI YONO — by scanning the QR or entering the school VPA. The office records the receipt against the student with the UTR / UPI reference, the receipt prints, the cash book auto-posts, and the parent gets an instant WhatsApp confirmation. There is no per-transaction payment-gateway fee — the school keeps 100% of the fee. For Mumbai and Pune schools collecting at scale, the saving over conventional payment gateways adds up significantly over a session. Read the full UPI playbook in UPI school fee management.

Most onboarding is handled remotely in English / Hindi / Marathi — the software is 100% cloud-based, so we don’t need to install anything physically. The team conducts onboarding over video call / WhatsApp, walks the school admin through configuration, supports the bulk Excel import, and stays on phone-support for the first 30 days. For Maharashtra schools that prefer in-person setup, our team can travel to Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, Aurangabad, Solapur, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Kolhapur and Amravati under the PREMIUM plan (up to 3 days of live or on-site training included). SUPER and SMART plans get remote training. For Maharashtra-school-specific quotes including dedicated Marathi-language onboarding, contact us.

Three concrete reasons. (1) Honest yearly pricing: Apna School is ₹4,999 / year flat with everything unlocked — many Mumbai-based competitors charge ₹25,000–₹1,00,000+ per year with per-module add-ons. (2) Built for Indian-school operational realities: RTE flag, caste category, religion, sibling guardians, UDISE code, MSBSHSE / CBSE / ICSE board patterns, thermal-printer receipts, Marathi-script marksheets, multi-academic-session promotion in June — none of these are afterthoughts. (3) Both apps included free: the admin app for principal / teachers / staff AND the parent app for guardians are both included in the ₹4,999 yearly subscription — most competitors charge ₹100–₹300 per parent per year extra for the parent app, which adds up to ₹60,000–₹1.8L for a 600-student school. For Maharashtra schools, the Apna School value is among the strongest in the market.
