Education software, website and app development for Indian schools and coaching classes
Admissions, fees, attendance and parent communication for schools, colleges and coaching institutes, built by the team behind Shiksha CRM.
Every school office in India runs on a mix of registers, Excel sheets and WhatsApp groups. Education software and app development works when it replaces that mix with one record per student, which parents, teachers and the accountant all read from. It fails when it adds a new login nobody checks.
NioDelta is a Pune studio, and we have built a school management and admissions CRM with a parent app. We know how admissions season, fee due dates and parent calls really go. We build for schools, colleges, coaching classes and online course creators across India. We would rather scope a small first release than promise everything at once.
What schools and coaching classes struggle with
Admissions enquiries get lost
Parents call, walk in and fill online forms during a few busy weeks. Without a tracked pipeline, follow-ups are missed and the seat goes to the school that called back first.
Fee collection and reminders
Fees come in instalments, with late fines, sibling concessions and transport charges. Accountants chase parents by phone, and receipts are written by hand.
Parents are not informed
Attendance, homework, circulars and exam results travel through class WhatsApp groups. Important notices get buried, and some parents never see them.
Coaching and online delivery
Batches, test series and recorded lectures need logins, access control and a way to stop shared accounts. Generic tools do not fit local batch structures.
What we build for schools, colleges and coaching institutes
School website with admissions
A clear site with fee structure, facilities, gallery and online enquiry form. Every enquiry enters an admissions pipeline with follow-up dates.
Admissions CRM
Enquiry, campus visit, test, offer and admission in one tracked flow. The principal sees conversion by source and by class.
School management system
Student records, attendance, timetable, exams, report cards and staff data. Teachers use phones, and the office uses a dashboard.
Fee management
Instalment plans, concessions, late fines and receipts, with UPI and card payment links. Parents get reminders before the due date and the accountant gets a ledger.
Parent and student app
One app for notices, attendance, homework, fee payment and leave requests. It works on low-end Android phones and supports Hindi and Marathi.
Coaching portal and LMS
Batches, timetable, test series, results analysis and video lectures with login control. We can integrate a video host instead of storing large files ourselves.
How an education build runs
Discover
We meet the principal, the office staff and one or two teachers. We collect sample fee receipts, admission forms and report cards.
Define
We settle roles such as admin, teacher, accountant and parent, then list the fee and exam rules. The written scope and quote follow.
Design
Teacher screens are designed for entering attendance in under a minute. Parent screens are simple and available in local languages.
Build
We build in stages, starting with the module that hurts most, often admissions or fees. We load a real class's data to test it before launch.
Ship & extend
We launch before a term starts, train staff and support you for one month. Exams, transport or library modules can follow later.
What it costs
A school website starts at ₹45,000. School management or a coaching LMS is custom software starting at ₹1,50,000, and a parent app starts at ₹2,00,000.
- Number of students and branches
- Modules chosen
- Fee rules and payment gateway
- Parent and teacher apps
- Data migration from old records

Questions we get asked
Can you import our existing student data?
Yes, from Excel or CSV files. We clean the columns with your office staff, run a trial import and check a sample of records together. Photos and old documents can be added in bulk. Quality of the source sheet decides how long this takes.
Does the parent app work on cheap phones?
Yes. We build with Flutter or React Native and test on low-end Android devices. Screens are light, images are compressed, and key actions such as fee payment need only a few taps. Data stays on one shared server, so there is no per-device storage burden on parents.
Can parents pay fees by UPI?
Yes. We integrate Razorpay or a similar gateway for UPI, cards and netbanking. Receipts are generated automatically, and payments are matched to the student ledger without manual entry. We also add a payment status page, so the accountant can see failed payments and retry them.
Do you support NEP-style report cards?
We can configure report card formats, grading scales and term structures to match what your board and school use. Send us a sample, and we will confirm what is feasible before you sign. The format can be edited later by the school without asking us to change code.
Is the system suitable for coaching classes?
Yes. Batches, test series, rank lists, attendance and fees can be built around how your classes run. Video lectures are usually hosted on a dedicated video service and embedded in the portal. Teachers get the same data on their phones and need no extra training.
Who owns the student data and code?
You own both. The data belongs to the institution, and the source code is handed over at the end of the project. We explain hosting and backups in the quote, so you can move later if you wish.
