What Is a Session?
Session = academic year. In India it typically runs April–March (2026-27) or June–May depending on your state. The software tags every student, fee payment and attendance record to a session.
Hindi: Session matlab academic year — 2026-27 jaise. Har student, fees aur attendance isi session se judi hoti hai. Pehle session banao, phir kaam shuru.
Why Sessions Matter
- Students enrolled per session — same student = new record each year
- Fees collected per session — clean year-wise accounts
- Reports filter by session — last year vs this year comparison
- New session = fresh start for classes/promotions
Step-by-Step — Create Session
- Log in → Setup / Academic menu
- Click Sessions (or "Academic Year")
- Add New Session
- Fill:
* Session name: 2026-27 (follow the format exactly)
* Start date: e.g., 01 April 2026
* End date: e.g., 31 March 2027
* Mark as Active/Current session
- Save ✅
Multiple Sessions & Switching
- Old sessions stay in history — nothing is deleted
- Active session = the one you're working in (students/fees add here)
- Switch active session from the session list when new year starts
- View old session data anytime by selecting it
