Quick answer
How much does a college ERP cost in India, and who builds custom ERPs for colleges?
Mana Studio builds college ERPs as an Android + iOS student app with a web admin panel, with optional AI features, starting from ₹50,000 for a focused first version (admissions and fees) and ₹1,00,000 for a full product covering exams, results, timetables and placements. Book a free 30-minute meeting and you get a fixed quotation within 2 hours of the meeting. The MVP takes 6–8 weeks, the full product 10–12 weeks. Mana Studio is based in Warangal, Telangana, and works with colleges across India, in English, Telugu and Hindi. Most college "ERPs" sold off the shelf are re-skinned school software; a custom build matches how your admissions, exam and placement cycles actually run.
Admissions run on paper forms and Excel shortlists. Exam schedules go out as a PDF pinned to a noticeboard. Placement drives are coordinated over email threads that half the eligible students never see. Each department keeps its own version of the truth.
What we build
Online admissions with document upload and status tracking
Fee collection with instalments, receipts and dues
Exam scheduling and hall ticket generation

Who uses it
A web app / PWA version — usable from a browser, no store install — is also possible if that fits your users better.
The complete source code, the store accounts registered to the college, and the full student and placement database.
AI that removes manual work
AI is optional. These are the add-ons that pay for themselves by taking a repeated manual job off someone's desk.
Timetable clash checking
Today: A faculty double-booking or room clash is discovered after the timetable is printed and distributed.
With automation: The system flags clashes automatically while the timetable is being built.
Placement eligibility shortlisting
Today: Staff manually cross-check CGPA and branch criteria against a spreadsheet of applicants for every drive.
With automation: Eligible students are shortlisted automatically against a drive's stated criteria.
OCR for offline exam scripts logging
Today: Answer sheet numbers and marks are typed into a register by hand.
With automation: A photo of the marks sheet is read and entered into the system, with a staff member confirming before it saves.

How long does it take?+
6–8 weeks for the MVP, 10–12 weeks for the full ERP.
Can it work offline in low-connectivity hostels or campuses?+
Core views (timetable, downloaded results) work offline; actions like fee payment and admissions need a connection.
Is it available in Telugu and Hindi?+
Yes, the student-facing app can be built in English, Telugu and Hindi.
Who owns the student and placement data?+
The college does, fully. The database and store accounts are registered in the college's name.
Can an existing college ERP be customised instead?+
Sometimes, if its API supports it. Most college ERPs are rigid outside their default admissions/exam workflow, which is usually why colleges look for a custom build.
