One platform for ICSE, CBSE and state-board schools
Kolkata has a long tradition of ICSE and ISC schools, a fast-growing number of CBSE schools, and WBBSE and WBCHSE schools across the city and its suburbs. Each board has its own exam pattern and report-card expectations.
In Aksharum your school defines its own classes, subjects and exam terms. Teachers enter marks once, an admin reviews and approves them, and every student gets a PDF report card with marks, grades, attendance and remarks the moment results are published — whichever board you follow.
Built around the Kolkata school year
The long Durga Puja break, Poila Baisakh, summer vacation and the occasional rain-day closure all reshape a Kolkata school's calendar. Aksharum keeps one school-wide holiday calendar that syncs with attendance and timetables, so nobody is marked absent on a day the school was shut. When plans change at short notice, a single broadcast reaches every parent, teacher and student in the affected classes.
Fee collection parents can trust
Many Kolkata schools still reconcile fees from bank deposit slips, cash registers and handwritten receipts. With Aksharum, parents pay online from any device, receipts are generated and sent automatically, and the accounts office sees collected and pending amounts in real time — with automatic reminders before and after every due date.
Smoother school commutes
From Salt Lake and New Town to Behala and Garia, a school bus in Kolkata can spend a long time in traffic. Live route tracking shows parents where the bus is, and delays trigger automatic notifications — so the school office isn't fielding a flood of calls every morning.
