University ERP- Bridging The Gap Among Students, Faculties, & Parents

Posted on April 30, 2019July 15, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

Communication is power, it creates a better relationship, builds trust and avoids disposal of improper information.

Even in education industry communication is very important. We are aware of the importance of connectivity and synchronization between faculties and students. But there are many more dimensions to cover to fill this communication gap.

It is prevalent that parents want to be involved in their children’s lives especially when it comes to academic performance. They want to be aware of how their kids are being taught, how they are performing, is there any behavior that needs to intervene, etc.

Not only between parents and student but communication also plays an important role between faculties and students. If a student is updated with all the lessons, assignment details, faculty’s availability and other related information; his awareness will increase and he will perform better. Same goes for faculty.

Here comes the need for a proper system that can enhance the connectivity among all the stakeholders of an institute.

What is University ERP?

University ERP is a software programme that manages all the academic processes within a university campus. It is also known with various names around the globe e.g. University Management System, Campus Management Software or Student Information System.

It manages complete student life cycle from inquiry to graduation till placement. A University Management System streamlines all academic operations with the help of many advanced features.

How a University ERP is connecting students, faculty, and parents?

A University ERP or University Management System such as Academia SIS provides an exclusive portal for parents, faculty, and students. These portals help them to see all the information they require.

With the help of Parents Portal, parents can check the details of their children such as marks obtained, lessons taught, absentees, outstanding payments, disciplinary actions, etc. They can also track which faculty is running behind in his/her lesson plan and which one is performing better.

If parents stay aware of the performance of their children, they can take the required actions. Moreover, students perform better if their parents are aware of their academic activity.

If there are any inadequacies in performance or any other areas, parents can play their role to correct it.

Faculty with the help of Employee Portal can give assignments, homework to every student; individually or in a group which gives them the power to keep an eye on every student.

What are the benefits of University ERP?

In the olden days when our parents in college, their parents weren’t getting any academic or non-academic performance report of their children, only the mark sheet. Now the time has changed. With the help of Education ERP, parents can be aware of everything their children’s activity from beginning to end, which builds a meaningful and strong relationship among students, parents, and institutions.

Education ERP is the future

It is well known that Education Technology is going to replace all traditional and manual academic processes in the future. University ERP or Student Information System (SIS) brings the parents and institution on the same page, that ultimately leads to a healthy and successful student life cycle.

But is there anyone who can answer how efficient is an intelligent school system? Does an intelligent school influences the development of children? Or is it just another trick to score better than traditional schools?

Let us try and answer all your questions here so you can decide why it’s imperative to introduce smart classes in schools.

Let’s start with the million dollar question: What is an Intelligent School?

Intelligent school is a technology-based teaching-learning facility that prepares Multimedia tools such as movies, photos, audio, slides, etc. to make the learning process more effective. Unlike traditional schools, the curriculum and guidelines are not rigid, and teachers can use a variety of multimedia tools to improve their learning.

The definition of intelligent schools seems to be simple. However, the impact of introducing smart classes in schools should be considered. Most of today’s smart schools use advanced technologies to transfer the traditional school curriculum. In other words, these schools follow the traditional curriculum and only use new technologies to disseminate information. On the contrary, some educational institutions use intelligent education systems to change education processes completely and overcome the traditional education system.

Intelligent school goals – that makes a difference!

Today’s goals determine the actions of tomorrow. That’s why the goals of Intelligent school are future-oriented and better aligned with the era of information and communication technology (ICT). Intelligent school system focus on the holistic development (physical, mental, emotional and psychological) of the students. It has been proven that there are no two identical persons. How can we achieve miraculous results if all students are treated equally? Intelligent schools are designed to recognize and enhance an individual’s ability to excel in the area of their choice. One of the key objectives of intelligent school systems is to promote students’ participation. In doing so, students must overcome their fears as they learn to express their opinions that prepare them for the outside world.

9 Benefits Of Implementing A Fee Management System

Posted on March 4, 2019July 15, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

Student Fee Collection and Management are very vital as well as a critical task for any Educational body. The higher management of institutes invests a lot of time and manpower to handle fee management. Fee Management System is one of the key mechanism in running Universities, Educational Institutes, Coaching/Training centers, and Schools. FMS is one of the most computerized fee calculation components of any ERP system. Other than being computerized at the same time it is sufficiently flexible to accommodate the changeable nature of fee expenditures that most of the educational institutions face day to day. Fee calculation is done on different parameters depending on individual Educational body.

Fee module robotically calculates the entire fee cycle like of individual student like; pending fees, previous fee payment information, deductions, concessions, etc. The calculation of fee for each student varies from student to student depending upon the category they fall in. Adding up to the above, the user (Student / Parent) is also given different options of fee payment like; per month fee, per quarter fee or depending on the monthly cycle fixed by the institute.

User-specified fee configuration and grouping can be maintained easily along with the computerized bill generation option which helps in enhancing the system reliability. Acceptance of fee in the form of “Fee Receipt” can be printed or generated by the system with few mouse clicks. At any point of time, if a user wants to verify his / her collections made and outstanding, this can easily be possible with such kind of system.

By implementing the Fee Management System institute can be benefited in the following ways:

Creation of Fee Plan: With the help of FMS we can create a different kind of fee plans depending on different parameters and categories. Fees plans can also be precisely divided into categories like Academic (Admission, Program, Exam, Courses) and Services (Transport, Hostel).
Auto bill generation: In such kind of system Fee bills are automatically generated as per the defined time like; Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly, etc..
Voucher & Receipt creation: FMS generates and issues a receipt for each transaction made with adjustments. Once a student pays the fees system creates individual vouchers along with the receipt which is to be handed over to the individual. It generates and print receipts of fees along with fee receipt no.
Discounts Management: FMS helps in managing discounts till individual student level depending upon different category decided by the management. And the system helps in auto settling the generated bill with the applied discount.
Auto settlements: This feature of FMS helps the student to get entire details about the fees paid. For example, if a student paid x amount of fee for Admission process he/she can get the entire bifurcation of the amount paid for the admission by settling the bill against the receipt.
Fee Due Alerts: This feature is very helpful for both parents and Management. It generates fees due statement with the exact net due-fees of each student. It also displays backlog payment of each fee head like Tuition, Services etc.
Online Payment: In today’s scenario mostly both the parents are working and it is very difficult for them to visit the school/ institution for fee payment as it is a time-consuming process from parent’s point of view. Here comes in picture Online payment through FMS, this helps parents to pay the fee from their home or office at their convenient time.
Productivity: A massive lumber of educational management process related to fee management is moped out with the help of the Fee Management System. It also helps in reducing the dependency of each individual for the manual process.
Accessible 24/7: There is no fixed time for accepting fees as the software works 24/7 which means fee management transactions can be made from anywhere at any time.

Impact Of Globalization In The Indian Education Sector

Posted on October 25, 2018July 11, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

Education is the backbone of any nation. It helps the population develop itself and attain skills to represent the nation in a global job market. This is a very big reason why nations around the world make large investments in the education sector. Apart from its apparent role in improving the financial status of people, education has a multi-faceted approach to transforming the lives of people.

Indian Education System

The education ecosystem of India has come a long way from gurukuls to modern educational institutes. We can definitely say that globalization has a big role to play in it. For centuries globalization has led to the progress of the world. It has changed the way we travel, trade, migrate, spread information and cultural norms, disseminate knowledge, and more.

Needless to say, the Indian education system we see today is an amalgamation of decades and decades of globalization. Today, the Indian education system is composed of three components — Primary education, Secondary education, and Higher education.

In the current scenario as well, the Indian education system is changing with the impact of globalization, liberalization, and privatization. This exchange is helping it become competitive and evolve in all spheres. This includes conquering the three biggest challenges of the Indian education system — expansion, excellence, and inclusion. Also, globalization has led to a shift in focus from traditional and cultural education to more emphasis on scientific and technological education.

Impact of Globalization on Indian Education

It is an undeniable fact that countries that were emerging from poverty and weak economic structure had a great reliance on the private sector for providing education. This has led to some degree of commercialization of the education sector, thus making it an industry.

With this, globalization is giving way to a free market philosophy, and that too explicitly. Commercialization of the sector has led to a spike in specialized institutes offering skill-based education. In view of globalization, many universities and colleges have started to up their education offerings – beating government institutions. This did increase the interest of students to study in private institutes. However, once the institutions start self-financing, there are no breaks or government provisions available to benchmark the prices they are putting on the courses. Meanwhile, the government struggles to keep up the quality of education and make education affordable.

In this disparity, education becomes more accessible to the top layer of society, ignoring the need to uplift the social and economic status of people from all walks of life. As the job market becomes more narrow and precise about the skills it entertains, the polarization between the elite and non-elite becomes more and more apparent.

Growing competition for seats

Meanwhile, there are entry barriers for the non-elite in the private institutions imposed due to the price factor; the number of available elite institutes adds up to another. There are very few globally accredited or recognized institutions, and hence there is very high competition among students for each seat. This has resulted in students looking for education opportunities abroad.

Furthermore, universities and institutions abroad see India as a great market opportunity. They are likely to bank up the long-standing issues in the education sector and want to partner with Indian universities to increase their profits.

Other challenges

One of the biggest problems with the education sector in India is the mindset itself. The nation seems to still work on the principle of producing workers and industrial laborers. In short, they do not focus on knowledge workers but rather are happy with their image of being service providers. For India to combat the race of globalization, they need to change its viewpoint and make some informed decisions about changing its curriculum. They must keep evolving their curriculum to match the market.

Some of the other challenges imposed by the globalization of education are:

Faculty shortage
Quality of education
Incentive structure

Significance of Campus Management System in Education

Posted on September 14, 2018July 11, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

Growth and expansion in the technology domain are positively impacting the education industry. It is allowing colleges to become more sensitive toward the needs of the student and increase their outreach to improve profitability.

In this blog, we would be discussing the role of college/campus management software and why you must consider getting one for your university.

Campus management system

Rather than seeing tech adaptation as a choice, it is important to make it mandatory. The reason is the low efficiency, and opaqueness found in the system. Education being one of the oldest sectors, it is still governed in the traditional ways, meanwhile, other industries are thriving through technological innovations. After COVID-19, the perception towards technology has changed and now more and more institutes are adapting to it.

Campus management software is an advanced technology toolset that allows you to digitally transform your college. It allows the monitoring and management of all internal and external tasks digitally through web and mobile applications.

This allows you to improve transparency in the operations and improve efficiency across the college. Similarly, we cannot ignore the ease it brings to the lives of students and faculty. With dedicated web and mobile applications, they can perform academic and non-academic tasks easily.

Significance of Campus Management Software in a College

A campus management system vigorously transforms all the operations and processes in your college. The main objective of Campus ERP software is to make operations speedy and bring down operational costs significantly.

The software is loaded with features and functionalities that bring automation and transparency to all operations, be it – admissions, attendance, examinations, resource management, fees and receipt management, or even student record management.

Some of the most significant features of the software solution are:

A centralized database of student information

This allows easy sharing of student information in academic and administrative departments to perform various operations. The efficient database gives real-time updates if there is any change in the information and boosts decision-making.

User-friendly and needs the least training

Although technology is usually confused as something complicated, these advanced technology tools are highly user-friendly. The modern solutions guide a user throughout the application and communicate to them at every point with in-app notifications to uncomplicate digital operations.

Also, AI-driven chatbots, multi-language tools, and other solutions help a user shorten the learning curve and familiarize themselves with the software faster.

No communication gaps

Communication gaps between parents and teachers are huge. People cannot wait for a monthly or bi-monthly meeting to know the progress of their children. With parent mobile applications and dedicated parent web portals, there can be direct and faster communication between the two stakeholders.

Also, communication is omnichannel. Meaning, you can communicate through SMS, in-app chat options, emails, etc.

Profits and higher return on investment

Besides providing you with qualitative results, the software solution is a proven solution to reduce the cost of operations. This helps you in gaining more profit and improved return on investments.

Concluding

College ERP software is one of the best things to happen to universities. Given the challenges after COVID-19, you can easily plan for countermeasures and execute profitable strategies to revive your business in the market.

Education Is Wisdom And Wisdom Is Required To Modernize Education

Posted on September 6, 2018July 15, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

Education is one of the greatest needs of the day. An upgraded and student-friendly curriculum which is also closely connected with the practical needs of the day is indispensable for the survival of the fittest.

The scenario of education has broadened in the past few years. Now…..it is no longer confined to the four walls of the classroom or for that matter four walls of the school itself. The education has evolved from the primitive times beyond leaps and bounds. From the era of Gurukul to the current era of international schools, education has gone through different phases of revolution. When we talk in the context of India, the transformation is quite evident. We earlier had only state-boards, ICSE and CBSE boards. Gradually the idea of public schools set in. The Gurukul evolved into day cum boarding schools where students experienced overall and holistic development. Globalization entered into the education industry as well. Foreign exchange programs, the Cambridge board, and the International Baccalaureate bridged the gap that existed on account of cultural differences. Education is another term for integration, an integration of thoughts, morals, cultures, and passions thereby making the world a better place to live in.

Change as they say is the law of nature and henceforth this law is equally applicable to academics and education. It is for this reason that it has changed significantly with the change in time. The idea of education is not to make the students book smart thereby enabling them to earn a living but to make them street smart thereby preparing them to fit for life.

In the thoughts of Robert Frost, “vocation and avocation must be combined”. Vocation refers to the job and avocation is the hobby. The present-day education system intends to do the same. It enables the student to identify their latent potentials and passion for which they have a flair culminating them to integrate those passions into professions, which is what we call vocational education.

Being educated and being literate are two different things, although literacy being a part of education. When one gets literate, he safeguards himself, whereas when one gets educated, he safeguards others thriving in the same society. Education is a dynamic phenomenon where stagnation must never set in if we want to evolve over time. Modernization and up gradation are two accompaniments of education without which the academics would perish.

The success of any major phenomenon is evaluated in terms of the quality of output it generates. The same happens in education too. The number of students that have been successful in their endeavors has been consistently on a rise. So many new avenues of professions have been generated. One major branch for say engineering has emerged into so many branches further and the same has happened with other professions too. This is what we call specialization and it has created a buffet of professions where one makes his own choice. This is how education has helped and fostered the young generation to make wise choices. Education is wisdom and wisdom is required to modernize education.
