Frequently asked questions
Answers about SchoolKonnect: what it does, how parents and teachers use it, data security, setup and support.
Getting started, pricing and demos
What is SchoolKonnect?
SchoolKonnect is cloud school management software for Indian K-12 schools. Admissions, student records, attendance, timetable, exams and report cards, fees, payroll, front office, transport, library and parent communication share one set of records, with a parent app and SIA, an AI assistant for staff.
Who makes SchoolKonnect?
SchoolKonnect is built and run by Intigate Technologies, A-119, First Floor, Sector 63, Noida, Uttar Pradesh 201301.
How much does SchoolKonnect cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the school and the modules it uses. Contact us for a quote; we will tell you exactly what is included before you decide.
Can we see it before we buy?
Yes. Book a free walkthrough and we will show SchoolKonnect with a demo school set up using your own classes and fee heads, so your team can see how a normal day would run.
Which schools is it for?
CBSE, ICSE/ISC and state-board schools, from a single campus to a school group. Exams, terms, grading and report cards are configured for each school, so the structure your board expects can be set up.
Can we use only some modules?
Yes. The school turns modules on or off under School Settings → Modules & plan. A module that is off is hidden from every menu, for staff and parents alike.
Modules and features
What does SchoolKonnect include?
Admissions and enquiries, student records, student and staff attendance, timetable, exams and report cards, fees with concessions and late fees, HR and payroll, front office (visitors, early leave, item hand-over, postal log), transport, library, communication, certificates and ID cards, live online classes, school MIS reports and the parent and student portals.
Can parents pay fees online?
Yes, once the school connects a payment gateway under School Settings → Messaging & payments. Parents see what is due in the parent app and pay there; the payment is matched to the invoice and a receipt is issued. Counter payments are recorded the same way.
Does it handle concessions and late fees?
Yes. Concessions such as sibling or staff-ward discounts are defined once and granted per student. Late fees follow bands of days overdue that the school sets, so they are charged the same way for every family.
Can the school build its timetable in SchoolKonnect?
Yes. Set the bell schedule, assign subjects and teachers to periods, validate, then publish. Clashes are flagged before you publish, and each teacher then sees their own timetable.
Can we design our own certificates and ID cards?
Yes. Documents → Templates has a designer for certificates, letters, receipts and ID cards. You can start from blank or import your existing certificate or letterhead as the background, and each issued document carries a verification link.
Does transport include live GPS tracking?
No. SchoolKonnect manages routes, stops, buses, trips, riders and transport billing. Live GPS tracking is not part of the product today.
Parents, teachers and students
Do parents need to install an app?
No. The parent portal runs in any modern phone browser. Important alerts can also go out by WhatsApp, SMS and email, using the channels the school switches on.
How does a parent sign in?
At the school’s own address, <your-school>.schoolkonnect.com. The username is any of their children’s admission numbers, and the first password is given by the school and must be changed at first sign-in. Parents with more than one child at the school see all of them under one sign-in.
What can parents see?
Their child’s attendance, homework and class diary, notices and messages, fees due and paid, published results and report cards, transport route and stop, and early pick-up requests. Results appear only after the school publishes them.
Can parents message teachers?
Yes. Parent–teacher conversations happen inside SchoolKonnect, so staff never need to share personal phone numbers.
How long does it take a teacher to mark attendance?
Usually under a minute: mark everyone present, then change the few who are absent, late or on half-day. Students can also be marked by scanning the QR code on their ID card.
Can teachers see only their own classes?
Yes. Teachers work from My Teaching, which shows their day, their classes and their students, and they can only act on their own classes.
Do students get their own login?
Yes. The school creates a student login from the student’s record. Students see their timetable, homework, the date sheet, published results and their progress, and hand in homework online.
Data and security
Where is our data stored?
SchoolKonnect runs on Microsoft Azure in India, and each school’s records are kept in a separate database of their own.
Who can see what?
The school decides through roles. Each role is built from a list of permissions, so a teacher sees their own classes, an accountant sees fees, and the Owner sees everything. Parents and students only ever see their own records.
Is there an audit trail?
Yes. Important changes, such as logins created, roles changed and payments reversed, are recorded with who made them and when, under School Settings → Audit trail.
Can we export our data?
Yes. Your data belongs to your school. Student lists and reports can be exported to Excel or CSV.
How does SchoolKonnect help with the DPDP Act?
Role-based access, an audit trail, records kept in India and parents seeing only their own children support the school’s duties under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act. Our guide explains what the Act means for schools.
SIA, the AI assistant
What can I ask SIA?
Everyday questions about the school, in plain English: who is absent today, fees collected this month, fee defaulters above ₹20,000, how much a particular student owes, or what is pinned on the notice board. Each answer links to the page where you can act on it.
Does SIA see data a user is not allowed to see?
No. SIA answers with the same permissions as the person asking, and it says so when a module is switched off.
Can SIA show me how to do something?
Yes. Ask, for example, “How do I mark attendance?” and SIA offers the matching guided tour, which highlights the real buttons on the real page one step at a time.
Setup and moving from another system
How long does it take to start?
Most schools start with student records, attendance and fees in the first weeks, then move exams and the other modules once staff are comfortable. Starting at the beginning of a term is easiest.
Can we import our existing student data?
Yes. Students can be imported from an Excel sheet: upload, validate and review, then import. The import checks for problems such as duplicates before anything is saved.
Who sets up the school?
The school’s Owner login sets up the school from School Settings, following the ten setup steps in our user manual. Our team helps with classes, fee plans and staff roles, and trains office staff and teachers.
Do staff need training?
Very little. Each role sees a menu built around its own work, and in-app guided tours walk new staff through each screen the first time they open it.
Support
How do we get help?
Email hello@schoolkonnect.com, Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM IST. Inside the app, Help & Support and the guided tours are available to every user.
Who resets a forgotten password?
If the school has set up an email provider, users can reset their own password from “Forgotten your password?” on the sign-in page. Otherwise the school office resets it under School Settings → Roles & users.
Still have a question? Read the user manual and the product guide, or email hello@schoolkonnect.com (Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM IST).
