School Admission Enquiries CRM
CRM for Schools K12 and Admissions Offices Across India
Never lose an admission enquiry again.
A parent picks up the prospectus in December, and no one calls them back. The admission form is filled online, but the test date is sent to half the parents. Two parents call about the same Class 6 seat, and each gets a different answer. Right now that runs across a register, a website inbox and an Excel sheet only one clerk understands, and a parent who paid the admission fee still gets a reminder call. CIPHER CRM puts every enquiry, form, test and fee on one screen, made for how an Indian school actually runs.

Success stories What Education teams say about CIPHER CRM
Our clients are mostly IT companies in Hinjewadi, and their accounts teams send back any invoice with a missing GSTIN or a number out of series. Ours carry their GSTIN and our own running number, with GST worked out line by line, so they clear the first time.

Question: 3
Does a CRM help Schools & K-12 Institutions teams follow up faster?

Question: 4
How do Schools & K-12 Institutions teams track quotations and payments?

4.8 What Education teams say about CIPHER CRM
Many families at a demo class in April tell us they will decide after the board result. The counsellor sets a reminder for result week and calls while they are still choosing a batch.
Anuj Maheshwari Founder Director, ManagementKota
For boarding admissions we hear from parents in Delhi and the Gulf, and their enquiries used to sit in different registers. Website ones now land in one list by themselves, and the office adds the calls and gate walk-ins. Each family has one of us looking after it.
Garima Negi Coordinator, AdmissionsDehradun
It is always the second fee instalment that slips. Once we record the first part, the bill shows Partially Paid, and it flags Overdue when the date passes.
Tabrez Alam Office Manager, AccountsPatna
Students pay our service fee in rupees, but our commission invoices to colleges in Canada and the UK go out in dollars and pounds. Both sit in CIPHER CRM under the right student or college, and my accountant has stopped keeping a separate sheet for the foreign ones.
Harjot Sandhu Senior Partner, ManagementJalandhar
My mobilisers go village to village signing up young women for sewing machine operator and general duty assistant courses, and the signal comes and goes. They still add each candidate in CIPHER from the browser on their phones, and the entries go through once they reach the main road.
Rashmita Padhan Team Lead, MobilisationSambalpur
Session notes from our therapists go into the chat on each child's record instead of a WhatsApp group. When a mother calls on Thursday, Monday's notes are there.

No parent fills our nursery form without seeing the classrooms first. Every visit goes on the CIPHER calendar, so nobody promises a slot that is already taken.
Bansari Shukla Principal, ManagementVadodara
We teach French up to DELF, and students keep asking to shift to an evening or weekend batch. Level, batch timing and exam session sit in fields we added ourselves, so the front desk answers from the record.
Arul Savarimuthu Centre Manager, AdminPuducherry
When the state's engineering counselling opens, we bring in temporary staff to take parent calls, and our plan costs the same however many we add. Each one sees only the enquiries we give them, so a new hand cannot open someone else's list or touch a student's fee bill.
Padmaja Yarlagadda Deputy Registrar, AdmissionsVijayawada
A guitar student's family moved to Guwahati partway through the term, after I had already billed her for all of it. I made a credit note for the classes she would miss and refunded it that same evening.
Ibadahun Nongrum Founder, ManagementShillong
One counsellor left during placement season, and I took over her students. Her mock interview feedback was on each student's record, so nobody had to repeat their story.
Tushar Vyas Senior Counsellor, PlacementIndore
Every course we build for a client is a project in CIPHER, and each module is a task whose checklist runs through script, voice-over, animation and client review. When a client says we are late, I open the project and can point to the module sitting with their reviewer.
Debolina Sarkar Production Head, ProjectsKolkata
I was not sure the acharyas at our pathshala would take to a CRM at all. The support team explained it to them in Hindi and moved our old admission list across from Excel for free.
Shivendra Tripathi Office Superintendent, AdminVaranasi
We sell our online maths programme to private schools. I share the quote link, and once the school clicks Accept, I turn it into the invoice.
