SchoolDeck is configured differently by board and by school shape: CBSE schools file through OASIS and LOC, ICSE and ISC schools follow Council formats, and state boards each have their own portal and report card. Multi-branch groups add shared policy with separate books.
Board choice changes assessment structure, report card format and statutory reporting. It does not change the price or the implementation timeline.
The question that shapes a school implementation is not size. It is which board you follow, because that determines the report card format, the assessment structure and which portal you file into — and those three decide most of the configuration work.
The second question is whether you are one school or several under one trust, which decides whether policy is shared and books are separate.
Less than schools expect in the software, more than vendors admit in the setup.
| Board | Files into | What changes in configuration |
|---|---|---|
| CBSE | OASIS, LOC, UDISE+ | Assessment structure and the affiliation returns calendar |
| ICSE / ISC | Council portals, UDISE+ | Internal assessment weighting and the Council report format |
| State boards | State portal plus UDISE+ | Report card format and the portal’s own data model, per state |
A single school wants everything switched on with nothing to configure for a month. A group wants the opposite: shared fee policy and one report card format across branches, with separate ledgers and staff, and a board-level view that does not require normalising four spreadsheets.
Both run on the same system. What differs is whether policy is defined once at trust level or once per school, and that is worth deciding before implementation rather than during it.
Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.
CBSE, ICSE and ISC, and the major state boards including Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu. Board choice affects assessment structure, report card format and statutory reporting, all configured during implementation.
Yes. Each school keeps its own board configuration and report card format while sharing fee policy and consolidating at trust level.
No. Pricing is per enrolled student regardless of board, and board configuration is part of implementation rather than a separate charge.
Checked by the Implementations desk on 2 September 2026. Corrections go in the page, dated, rather than quietly.
Pricing is on the page, in the open, with the counting rule written next to it. Nobody has to book a call to find out what it costs.
