Getting Started
What is a University Management ERP?
A University Management ERP is a single integrated system that manages admissions, students, academics, attendance, examinations, finance, HR and payroll, research, accreditation data, campus operations, placements and alumni, so that every office works on the same data instead of separate registers and spreadsheets.
Is it suitable for private universities?
Yes. The platform is designed for private universities, including multiple schools, campuses, fee structures and approval hierarchies.
Is it suitable for deemed-to-be universities?
Yes. Deemed and autonomous universities can configure their own academic regulations, examination rules, statutory bodies and reporting requirements.
Does it support multiple campuses?
Yes. Each campus can run its own operations with campus-level permissions, while leadership sees consolidated university-level reports.
How many students can it handle?
The platform is designed to scale from a single institution to multi-campus universities. Hosting resources are sized according to your student and user numbers during the proposal stage.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on modules, number of users, campuses, integrations, apps and hosting. We share a customized proposal after understanding your requirements.
Academics & Examination
Does it support CBCS?
Yes. Credits, electives, open courses and grading under the Choice Based Credit System are supported and configured to your regulations.
Does it support NEP 2020?
The academic structure can be configured in line with NEP 2020, including credit-based programs and multiple entry and exit options. Exact rules are configured to your university's approved regulations.
Does it support Outcome Based Education?
Yes. Course outcomes, program outcomes and program-specific outcomes can be defined and mapped, and attainment can be calculated from assessments.
Can it manage examinations end to end?
Yes, from registration, hall tickets and secure question papers to evaluation, revaluation, results, transcripts and degree certificates.
Can it manage PhD programs?
Yes. The PhD module covers admission, supervisor allocation, coursework, RAC reviews, synopsis, thesis, plagiarism check, viva voce and award.
Research & Accreditation
Can it manage research?
Yes. Research projects, grants, consultancy, publications, patents, incubation and ethics committee approvals are managed in the research module.
Can it manage NAAC data?
Yes. The accreditation module provides tools to organize criteria-wise data and evidence for SSR and AQAR. It does not guarantee an accreditation grade; outcomes depend on the institution and the assessing body.
Can it manage NIRF data?
Yes. Data needed for NIRF parameters can be collected from the relevant modules and compiled. Rankings depend on the institution's performance and the ranking body.

Yes. Employer registration, drives, shortlisting, offers and internships, along with an alumni directory, events, mentoring and donations.
Technology & Integrations

Can it be hosted on the cloud or on our own server?
Both are possible: cloud hosting or on-premise deployment on the university's own servers.
Is role-based access available?
Yes. Access can be controlled by role, campus, department and document, with audit logs.
Implementation & Support
Can existing data be migrated?
Yes. Student, faculty, course, fee, result, library and HR data can be migrated. The approach depends on your current system and data quality and is agreed during discovery.
Can we replace our existing ERP?
Yes. We plan a phased migration from the current system to avoid disruption during admissions and examinations.
Can the system be customized?
Yes. Rules, workflows, forms, certificates, reports and roles are configured to your university, and new modules can be developed for unique processes.
How long does implementation take?
Timelines depend on the modules, number of campuses, integrations and data migration. A phased plan with milestones is part of every proposal.
