Assessment structure as configuration
Internal assessment components, weightages and grading scales are configured per class and session, and the report card follows from them.
School management system · School management software for CBSE schools
Built around the CBSE calendar, not adapted to it.
A CBSE school runs on the board's rhythm: registration, internal assessment, term reports, board exam records and the documentation an affiliation inspection asks for. SquareCampus carries those formats and cycles as configuration, so the office is not maintaining them in spreadsheets on the side. ICSE and state-board schools run on the same platform with their own configuration.

Direct answer
What should CBSE school management software include?
School management software for CBSE schools should carry the board's grading and assessment structure, produce term reports in the expected formats, keep attendance registers and student records the way affiliation and inspection require, and handle the board's registration and examination cycles as part of the academic year rather than as separate spreadsheets.
SquareCampus is school management software built as a connected School OS. It covers the record-keeping and workflows schools expect from school management and ERP software, and connects them with owners, approvals and audit history on one institutional record. Read the canonical definition.
How it runs in SquareCampus
Each step has an owner and leaves a record
A module list hides the real question: does the work connect? These are the workflows as SquareCampus is designed to run them.
Term reports and report cards
Marks entry, moderation and publication produce report cards in the school's CBSE-aligned format, with a record of every change.
Registration and examination records
Student data required for board registration is kept complete from admission, so the annual export is a check rather than a scramble.
Attendance registers for inspection
Registers and percentages are produced from the daily record in the layouts inspections expect.
Timetable and substitution
Period allocation, teacher load and substitutions run against the academic calendar, with cover visible to the coordinator.
This is how SquareCampus is designed to work. Your written proposal confirms what your institution gets, and when.

What to check in any vendor
Ask these of every vendor you evaluate, including us. The answers separate a connected system from a set of modules.
- 1Are assessment components and grading scales configuration, or a custom build per session?
- 2Can report cards be produced without exporting marks to a spreadsheet?
- 3Is student master data complete enough for board registration without a data drive?
- 4Do attendance registers come out in the layout an inspection expects?
- 5Does academics share a record with fees and communication, or sit in its own module?
