Sections (School Admin)
Every class section in one place (e.g. Class 10 · A) — capacity, roll-number prefixes and section incharges. Sections belong to a Class and receive students from the Students page.
What this page does
A Section is a division of a Class — Class 10 · A, Class 10 · B (also called a division or batch). The Sections page is a directory of every section across your school, each showing its parent class, capacity (max strength versus current students), roll-number prefix and its incharge. Students are placed into a class and section from the Students page; sections then feed timetabling and reporting. Search by section or class name and filter by class and academic year. The Strength column shows enrolled students against the section’s max strength; the Incharge column lists the assigned class teacher(s).
Common tasks
- Click New section, choose the parent Class, and name the section (e.g. "A").
- Optionally set the Max strength (capacity cap) and a Roll number prefix (e.g. "9A-"), then Create.
- Click Incharge to appoint the section’s class teacher, with a start date and optional end date.
- Filter by class or academic year to focus on one grade; the class filter is also pre-set when you arrive from a class’s section count.
- Place students into a section from the Students page — the section then appears in timetables and reports.
A section that still has enrolled students or timetable lessons cannot be deleted — move or remove those first. The parent class cannot be changed after creation; delete and recreate the section if it is wrong.
Buttons, filters & columns
- Opens the create modal — parent Class, Name, Max strength, Roll number prefix and Description.
- Enrolled students shown against the section’s max strength (the capacity cap), e.g. "34 / 40".
- A prefix applied to roll numbers for students in this section (e.g. "9A-").
- Appoints the section’s Class Teacher, with a dated tenure. Reassigning closes the previous tenure and keeps it in history.

- Removes the section — blocked while students or timetable lessons are attached.
