EduSquares  ·  For Indian Universities & Colleges

Run your entire institution on one intelligent platform — built and proven in India for twenty years

Learning, examinations, operations and admissions on a single data spine, with AI woven into every module rather than bolted on. EduSquares is not an import asking India to adapt: it has run Indian institutions for two decades — a 20,000-student national technical network, the E&ICT Academy at IIT Kanpur, and some of the largest names in Indian education — with the exam cell, grade cards and convocation native to the platform, not retrofitted.

Section 1

The problem every institution knows by heart

Five systems, five versions of the same student — and an audit season that starts with exports.

A typical institution runs an LMS for teaching, a student-records system for registry, a CRM for recruitment, a finance system for fees, and an exams stack that lives largely in spreadsheets and email. Each holds a different fragment of the same student. Every reporting cycle, every regulatory audit, every board pack begins with exports, re-keying and reconciliation meetings — and every student feels the seams: chasing three logins, waiting days for a transcript, telling the institution things it already knows. For an Indian institution the stakes compound with scale: exam records spread across affiliated colleges, NAAC evidence hunted out of five systems every accreditation cycle, grade cards assembled by hand — not just inefficiency, but risk to statutory duties.

BEFORE: FIVE DISCONNECTED SYSTEMS AFTER: EDUSQUARES — ONE DATA SPINE LMS Records CRM Finance Exams in spreadsheets the same student, five times Learning Exams Operations Admissions Finance One student record nothing exported · nothing re-keyed · nothing reconciled
EduSquares takes the opposite approach. The enquiry an agent submitted, the contract the student signed, the module they studied, the exam they sat, the fee they paid and the credential they graduated with — one student record describes all of it. Nothing is exported, re-entered or reconciled, because nothing ever leaves the platform — and the audit trail writes itself as a by-product of daily operations.

Section 2 · The platform

Four Squares. One platform.

Every EduSquares module shares the same student record, the same academic structure and the same analytics — so nothing needs to be exported, re-entered or reconciled.

Learning (LMS) courses · live classes · resources Exam Cell OS assessments · question bank · proctoring Institute ERP fees · attendance · scheduling · HR Admissions & CRM agents · contracts · funnel One student record one login · no migration

Learning (LMS)

Teach, deliver, engage
  • Structured courses & programmes — core/elective pathways, credits, learning outcomes, topic dependencies
  • Live & flipped classrooms — integrated video conferencing, pooled licences, auto-archived recordings
  • Study resources — e-books, videos, streaming lectures, lesson plans, learning modules
  • Gamified practice — quiz zones, leaderboards, rewards that keep students returning daily
  • Standards-compliant — SCORM, LTI, xAPI with a learning-record store
  • LMS Studio — authoring with bulk creation from Word & Excel, usage analytics

Exam Cell OS

Semester exams to transcripts, end to end
  • Exam conduction — conflict-free semester & term exam planning, eligibility-driven hall tickets, invigilator rostering
  • Grades management — weighted scaling, moderation and publishing workflows, every change in a marks audit trail
  • Grade cards & results — grade-card generation and controlled results publication

Assessments

The testing engine — weekly quiz to proctored finals
  • Taxonomy-tagged question bank — topic, difficulty and Bloom's competency on every question
  • Online testing engine — high-stakes patterns, lockdown browser, AI + human webcam proctoring
  • On-screen marking — scanned scripts auto-assigned to markers, marked anonymously
  • Rich analytics — question-level strengths, cohort comparison, progress dossiers

Institute ERP

Everything after enrolment
  • Fees & payments — instalment plans, invoices, receipts, gateway collection, refunds & credit notes
  • Revenue recognition — tied to course-delivery milestones, with forecasting
  • Attendance — biometric gantry, in-class mobile roll-call, online session capture; alerts to advisers
  • Timetabling & scheduling — auto-assignment engine, room-capacity best fit, versioned rollback
  • Campus services — library, transport, inventory & course-material logistics
  • HR & faculty development — profiles, training records, outcome-linked appraisals
  • Placements & alumni — employer pipeline, offer tracking, alumni community

Admissions & CRM

Enquiry to enrolment, visible end to end
  • Multi-source enquiry capture — web, events, calls, social, bulk import, cloud telephony
  • Counsellor workflows — follow-up queues, reminders, daily funnel reports to supervisors
  • Agent management — onboarding with compliance checks, digital contracts, application portal, multi-tier commission workflows
  • Offer & contract engine — automated, regulation-compliant offer/contract generation
  • Admission tests — secure, password-protected selection testing at scale
  • Sponsorship handling — dual invoicing for student and corporate/government sponsor
  • Funnel analytics — enquiry-to-enrolment conversion and campaign effectiveness

Built-in engagement — and built-in advocacy

Gamified learning

Quiz zones, streaks, leaderboards and a rewards wallet make daily practice habitual — and every bit of that engagement shows up in the analytics.

Certificates & badges

Completions issue verifiable digital credentials — a one-click authenticity check that outlives the student's account and ends "is this genuine?" phone calls.

Shareable by design

Graduates post credentials straight to LinkedIn and social profiles — every share carries a live verification link back to your institution. Organic reach from every cohort.

Start anywhere. Grow module by module.

Begin with the Square that hurts most — assessments, fees, admissions — and switch on the rest when you are ready. Same login, same student record, no migration ever. EduSquares runs happily alongside an incumbent LMS (it has integrated with Blackboard in production, in Singapore) and can progressively take on more of the estate at your pace.

Section 3 · Compliance & accreditation at the core

Built for India’s regulatory reality

NEP 2020, NAAC and NBA accreditation, AICTE norms, the statutory exam cell — most platforms treat India's regulatory reality as a customisation project. EduSquares grew up inside it: the machinery below has run Indian institutions at national scale for two decades.

NEP 2020, operationalised

Multiple entry and exit needs live machinery, not a policy note: credit transfers, re-moduling and rescheduling with automatic financial consequences, core/elective pathway structures, and a credential engine that can issue a verifiable award at every exit point.

NEP 2020 lens · multiple entry & exit

Affiliated & multi-campus governance

Born multi-centre: per-college white-labelled instances with one university console, cross-campus timetabling, and centre-level analytics — the same architecture already running national multi-centre networks in India.

University lens · affiliated & constituent colleges

Fees, scholarships & Indian payment rails

Dynamic per-programme fee rules, instalments, scholarships and sponsorships with dual invoicing, gateway collection, and post-dated-cheque and cheque-bounce handling — every movement of money inside an audit trail.

Governance lens · fee transparency

Biometric attendance & AICTE norms

Cloud-direct biometric attendance with no on-site servers at any centre — 25,000+ punches ingested daily at one national network — plus in-class mobile roll-call and automated shortage alerts to advisers.

AICTE lens · attendance norms

Exam-cell integrity & NAAC evidence

Marks modifications, moderation, re-evaluation and result publication all inside audited workflows — the examination integrity and outcome evidence NAAC and NBA assessments examine, generated as a by-product of daily operations.

NAAC/NBA lens · criteria evidence

Verifiable credentials — ending fake degrees

Digitally verifiable grade cards, transcripts and certificates with one-click public verification that outlives the student's account — closing the door on forgery and the verification-letter queue at the registrar's office.

Registrar lens · credential authenticity

Why this matters beyond inspection week. The documentation burden NAAC, NBA and AICTE impose — attendance registers, examination records, outcome analytics, placement data, fee transparency — is exactly the data EduSquares accumulates as the institution simply runs its day. Accreditation stops being a season you staff for and becomes a report you print.

Proven at home.

These are not adapted-for-India promises. Every capability above is live in production in India — at a 20,000-student national technical network established in 1959, and at the E&ICT Academy, IIT Kanpur, a MeitY, Government of India initiative. Section 7 tells those stories in full.

Section 4 · The spine

The complete student lifecycle, managed end to end

One record travels the whole journey — every stage below is a native module, not an integration.

1
Enquiry & outreachCampaigns, agents, events, telephony, funnel tracking
2
Application & contractPersonalised pathways, documents, offer letters, entrance tests
3
Enrolment & inductionOnline enrolment, payments, sponsorships, capacity checks
4
Learning & teachingCourses, live classes, resources, attendance, engagement nudges
5
Assessment & progressionExams, marking, moderation, resits, credit transfer, re-moduling
6
Graduation & credentialsTranscripts, convocation, verifiable digital certificates
7
Alumni & careersPlacement cell, employer pipeline, alumni community

Because the lifecycle is one system, the hard cross-stage questions become trivial: which recruitment agent produces students who complete? Which modules correlate with withdrawal? What is the true cost-to-serve of a programme? Questions that normally require a data-warehouse project are simply reports.

Section 5 · Every seat in the house

What each of your people gets

Two experiences — iLearn for students and parents, iTeach for academics, professional services and leadership — one platform underneath. A mark entered in iTeach is what a student sees in iLearn.

Students

One app for their entire student life

  • A mobile-first learner app (150+ screens): timetable, live and recorded classes, e-books, notes, forums and announcements in one place
  • Gamified daily practice — quiz zones, leaderboards, streaks and a rewards wallet that make revision habitual
  • Instant results with question-level feedback, topper comparison and progress tracking across every assessment ever taken
  • Fee statements, instalment schedules, online payment and printable receipts — no queuing at a bursary window
  • Automated nudges before deadlines, after inactivity and when performance dips — the platform reaches out before students drop off
The win: a student experience that feels like one institution, not a federation of logins.
Academics & instructors

Less marking, more teaching

  • Question banks built once and reused for years — bulk-authored from Word/Excel, tagged by topic, difficulty and Bloom's level
  • On-screen, anonymous marking of scanned scripts, auto-assigned across the marking team
  • AI-assisted grading and content drafting with a faculty sign-off gate on everything — the academic stays the authority
  • "My Teaching Plan" dashboard: schedule, syllabus progress and cohort analytics in one view
  • In-class attendance from the instructor's own phone; engagement analytics that answer "which student needs my attention right now?"
The win: assessment cycles measured in days, not weeks — with a full audit trail.
Admissions, marketing & international office

A recruitment machine with the funnel visible end to end

  • Every enquiry from every channel lands in one pipeline with counsellor follow-up queues and supervisor dashboards
  • Admission-season machinery — cloud-telephony enquiry capture, counsellor follow-up queues with supervisor dashboards, and secure entrance-test delivery at scale — plus full agent/consultant lifecycle management where programmes recruit through channels
  • Automated offer and admission-letter generation; document verification workflows; dynamic application-fee calculation
  • Company and sponsor handling with dual invoicing for student and sponsor
  • Conversion and campaign-effectiveness reporting down to the individual counsellor, agent and channel
The win: admission season at scale — every enquiry counted, every counsellor accountable.
Registry & examinations office

The exam cell, industrialised

  • Conflict-free exam planning, invigilator rostering and hall-ticket generation driven by eligibility rules
  • Weighted marks scaling, moderation and publishing workflows — every modification logged in a marks audit trail
  • Supplementary and resit exams, re-evaluation, credit transfers and re-moduling/rescheduling with automatic financial consequences
  • Transcript generation and publishing, including a legacy-transcript manager for historical records
  • Timetabling with a two-gate publish model (lecturer confirm + planner publish), four levels of rollback, and an auto-assignment engine that is room-capacity, session-type and travel-time aware
The win at NTTF: 1,600+ Word and Excel exam-cell documents replaced by one system — and at PSB Academy, transcript turnaround cut from 5 days to 1.
Finance office

Fees, revenue and audit-grade control

  • Dynamic rule-engine fee computation per programme and module, with exemptions, instalments and multi-currency support
  • Automatic revenue recognition tied to course-delivery milestones, plus revenue forecasting
  • Moderated workflows for discounts, credit notes, refunds and reversals — all with strong audit trails
  • Payment-gateway collection on Indian rails with instalment tracking, scholarship handling, and cheque-bounce and post-dated-instrument workflows
  • Real-time feeds to your general ledger — the platform has run production finance integrations via live database views and APIs, with zero duplicate data entry
The win at NTTF: 3,600+ fee plans feeding real-time finance integration with zero duplicate data entry.
Professional services & HR

The back office on the same spine

  • Staff attendance, workload tracking and scheduling alongside student operations
  • Faculty profiles, competency records and training with post-training assessment
  • 360° appraisals computed from real signals — student feedback, cohort exam performance and supervisor review
  • Library, transport, inventory and course-material logistics for campus operations
The win: professional services stop being system integrators between vendors.
Leadership, management & boards

Decision support, not data archaeology

  • A decision-support layer across the whole lifecycle: enquiry-to-enrolment conversion, campus/school comparison, revenue and variance, attendance-vs-performance correlation, at-risk cohorts
  • Flexi ad-hoc reporting for the questions nobody predicted
  • Board-ready dashboards that draw from live operational data — no warehouse lag, no reconciliation caveats
The win: one version of the truth, because there is only one system of record.
Compliance & quality teams

Built under regulators, not retrofitted for them

  • The NEP machinery, exam-cell integrity, biometric attendance and credential verification described in Section 3 — generating the evidence NAAC, NBA and AICTE reviews examine, as a by-product of operations
  • Attendance registers and shortage alerts from biometric and in-class capture — inspection-ready at any moment
  • Audit trails on marks, money and access throughout; role-based access control on a need-to-know basis
  • Isolated database per institution, with India data-residency and on-premise options where state or university mandates demand them
The win: accreditation cycles become queries against data you already trust.
Sponsors, parents & employers

The stakeholders around the student

  • Parent/guardian portal with performance, attendance and fee visibility; automated alerts on absence and results
  • Corporate and government sponsors handled natively — dual invoicing, progress reporting
  • Employers engaged through the placement cell — empanelment, interviews, offers, acceptance tracking
  • Digitally verifiable grade cards, transcripts and certificates — issued through the platform's credentialing engine — that any employer or university can check in one click
The win: everyone invested in the student sees exactly what they should — nothing more, nothing less.
Section 6 · The differentiator

AI as infrastructure, not an add-on

Most vendors sell AI like bottled gas — a separate product you buy, carry and connect. EduSquares pipes intelligence through the platform itself, so every module gets smarter with the same student data.

AI-assisted content & questions

Syllabus-aligned question and content drafting, auto-tagged by topic, difficulty and Bloom's level — always routed through academic review before a student ever sees it.

Personalised learning pathways

Daily goals, adaptive practice and AI-personalised nudges on deadlines, inactivity and risk — an always-on tutor grounded in your own course material.

Insight for teachers

Attention triage for academics: which student — or which seminar group — needs you most, right now, based on live engagement and assessment signals.

Governed by design. Every AI output — a grade, a question, a summary — carries a faculty sign-off gate, guardrails and cost dashboards. Your academics remain the authority; the AI does the legwork. This is the difference between AI that impresses in a demo and AI a quality committee — or a regulator — will approve.
Section 7 · Proof

Proven where you are

Two decades of national-scale proof at home — and international validation under foreign regulators.

NTTF (Nettur Technical Training Foundation) — the operating system of a national network

Established 1959 · 20,000+ students · 800+ trainers · centres across India
