How to Log Into Your Account

Don't worry if you have never used school software before! Logging into Nermala ERP is as simple as unlocking your smartphone. We provide separate, safe doorways (called Portals) for everyone.

1
Select Your Correct Portal

When you open the login page, look at the top selector buttons. Make sure to click the portal that matches your role in the school:

Enter Your Username & Security Code

Type your username (or email) and your password provided by the school office. You will also see a small picture with 5 colorful numbers—this is a security check called a CAPTCHA.

Noob Tip: If the numbers in the security CAPTCHA box look blurry or hard to read, simply click the blue circular reload button next to it to instantly get an easy new code!

Navigating the Dark Blue Sidebar

Once inside, you will see a stylish dark blue menu on the left side of your screen. Simply click on any word (like Students, Attendance, or Library) to open that tool. If a menu has a small downward arrow, clicking it will unfold more specific sub-tools!

Teacher Daily Operations Guide

As a teacher, your three main daily tasks are taking student attendance, distributing homework assignments, and entering exam marks. Here is how to accomplish all three in just a few clicks!

Student & Parent Portal Walkthrough

Our dedicated portals empower students to keep up with classes and enable parents to remain deeply connected with their child's educational journey and fees.

1
Checking Weekly Timetables & Lectures

When a student logs in, their dashboard greets them with their current attendance percentage and immediate upcoming class schedule. Clicking Timetable in the menu reveals the entire week's schedule with teacher names and classroom numbers!

2
Viewing Fee Dues & Receipts (For Parents)

Parents can check all pending school installments directly without visiting the accounts office. Click on the Fees menu item to view a complete breakdown of paid receipts (in green) and pending dues (in red).

Online Payments: If online fee collection is enabled by the school, parents will see a convenient blue Pay Now via GetePay button next to unpaid bills to securely complete payments using UPI, Cards, or Net Banking!

Guide for School Staff & Custom Roles

Nermala ERP is built with dynamic Custom Role authorization. Whether you are an Accountant, Librarian, Receptionist, Transport Officer, or HR Manager, the software intelligently simplifies itself for you!

Library Officers

When logged in, your sidebar will display Library Management. You can add new books, check current stock inventories, and smoothly record when a student borrows or returns a book using their Student ID.

Accountants & Fee Collectors

Your dashboard features financial income line charts and rapid access to Fee Collection. You can search any student name, select their due fee installment, receive cash or cheque, and generate an official printable PDF fee receipt immediately.

Transport Managers

Access the Transport menu to manage school buses, assign verified drivers, set bus route pickup stops, and link students to their specific daily bus schedules.

HR & Administration

Through the HR & Staff section, administrators manage employee payroll, approve staff leave applications, and maintain employee daily attendance logs.

Custom Permission Notice: If you ever click a menu item and see a "403 Access Denied" notice, it simply means your user account role has not been granted that module permission yet. Ask your school Super Admin to tick that permission box for your role in the Roles & Permissions matrix!
