Quick answer: Schools and coaching institutes in India usually need two things: an LMS for teaching (classes, recorded lectures, assignments, tests) and an ERP for running the institution (admissions, fees, attendance, certificates). Fedena is an established school ERP. Classplus gives coaching educators their own branded app. Edmingle is an LMS for training businesses and online academies. Moodle is free, open-source and highly flexible. Google Classroom is free for qualifying institutions and simple to start. MizUp EOS (MizUp LMS) combines LMS and school ERP for schools and coaching institutes on one student record. Teachmint has shifted its focus to classroom hardware.

Start free See the demoLMS, school ERP or both?
An LMS handles teaching and learning: live and recorded classes, homework, tests and progress. A school ERP runs the office: admissions, fee collection and receipts, attendance, timetables, staff, ID cards and certificates. Read what an LMS is for a full explanation.
Many Indian institutes end up with two systems and enter every student twice. If your team handles both admissions and teaching, a combined platform saves hours every week. If you only sell courses online, a course platform or LMS alone is enough.
What to look for
- Batches and classes that match your timetable
- Live and recorded lectures that students can open on low-cost phones
- Assignments and tests with marks feeding report cards
- Fee collection with UPI links, receipts and reminders
- Attendance for students and staff
- Parent access to attendance, fees and results
- Certificates and ID cards with verification
- Content protection if you sell recorded courses
1. MizUp EOS (MizUp LMS)
MizUp EOS is the education operating system in the MizUp platform by BrandMiz Private Limited.
What it covers: teaching tools for my classes, live classes, recorded lectures, assignments and projects, and substitute teachers; plus admissions, fees with UPI links and receipts, attendance, tests and report cards, QR-verified certificates, ID cards and a parent portal.
Where it fits: schools and coaching institutes that want teaching and administration on one student record, with WhatsApp messaging and GST billing available on the same platform.
Consider: it is not a course marketplace with a branded store app for selling to the public. Independent creators focused on selling courses may prefer a dedicated course platform.
Pricing: free for up to 50 students; paid plans start at ₹10 per student per month. See MizUp EOS pricing.
2. Fedena
Fedena, by Foradian Technologies in Bengaluru, is a school ERP that says it is used by 40,000+ institutions.

Pricing: the software is free to download and host yourself. MoodleCloud hosting starts at $170 per year for 50 users.

What it covers: assignments and rubrics, grading, practice sets, originality reports, Google Meet, guardian summaries and Gemini features.
Pricing: free with Education Fundamentals for qualifying institutions; Education Plus is on request.

Important: Teachmint's own website states that its fee management module is no longer available. If you are looking for school ERP or fee software, check with Teachmint what is currently offered before shortlisting it.
