With the Indian education system on the expansion more and more students have been leaving their hometowns for higher studies and schools’ university and colleges are facing issues in hostel management system.

Accommodation seekers are expected to hit 31 million an almost three-fold increase from the current number of 11 million-by 2036.

But by far the greater concern remains: we currently have an estimated capacity of only 7.5 million hostel beds all across the country. So on the demand side, there is a tremendous mismatch with regard to infrastructure.

Educational institutions now require this immense smart intervention where they will be able to pool their facilities and manage hostels in a manner that is efficient, safe and sustainable-from K-12 schools to universities. That’s where Hostel Management System comes.

The Need for Smart Hostel & Boarding Management System

The traditional hostel management system has been a manual process, from the time when room allotment was written down on paper to the time when complaints were logged into a register. These methods may have sufficed decades ago however, they now simply cannot handle the scale, complexity and expectations of modern-day student life.

Let’s enumerate the issues institutes face with hostel operations from a bygone age:

• • Room allotment errors and overbooking
  • No real-time data on student attendance or location
  • Poor communication with parents
  • Missed fee payments and lack of proper tracking
  • Safety concerns due to unmonitored entries and exits
  • Maintenance and complaints not handled efficiently

And when the student population increases this will be multiplied twice n create more stress for management, parents and students.

This is where digital Hostel Management System comes, or more broadly a full-fledged Boarding Management System.

Real Stats, Real Problems, Real Solutions

According to multiple studies from the industry the landscape of education and edtech is changing rapidly.

• The gap between demand and supply for student accommodation in India is increasing at more than 10% per annum.
• Schools implementing digital visitor and attendance management systems have reduced unauthorized access incidents by as much as 40%.
• Institutions that log complaints and resolve tickets digitally report a response time of around 60% faster.
• Parents tend to trust that hostels are thrice as likely to inform them about updates regarding their child’s attendance and leave records on their phone.

These are not just numbers; they are a pressing reality that must be tackled using a technology-driven solution.
