FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers — no sales script.

What is OneShiksha?
OneShiksha is a school management software for Indian schools, coaching classes, daycares and colleges — fees, attendance, admissions, notices, complaints and parent communication on one platform, with WhatsApp built into the core instead of bolted on later.
How much does OneShiksha cost?
You pay per student only — parents, teachers and admins are always free. Plans run from ₹36 to ₹79 per student per month against an MRP of ₹89, with no setup fees, no hidden costs, and every module included in every plan.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 90 days free, no credit card required. Import your data, run a fee cycle, and see it work on your own institution's numbers before you pay anything.
How is OneShiksha different from Fedena or Vidyalaya?
Fedena relies on third-party SMS with no WhatsApp, and Vidyalaya hides pricing behind a sales call. OneShiksha is WhatsApp-native, publishes its pricing, ships POCSO-compliant anonymous complaints, and never hides modules behind higher tiers.
Does OneShiksha work for coaching classes and daycares, not just schools?
Yes. The same platform serves schools, coaching classes, daycares and colleges. Plans are per student, so a 200-student daycare and a 2,000-student college both pay fairly.
Is parent data safe with OneShiksha?
Student data is encrypted, Aadhaar fields are never logged, every query is scoped to one institution, and anonymous complaints are built so the reporter can never be identified — required under the POCSO Act and ready for the DPDP Act.
