Why TutionMat is #1 for Indian coaching institutes
Every feature in TutionMat was built for the specific way Indian coaching centres actually operate — not adapted from a Western school management system.
UPI-native fee receipts
Every digital fee receipt includes a UPI QR code. Parents can pay instantly and get a professional PDF receipt — the way Indian coaching centres collect money.
AI question paper generator
No other coaching software offers this. Type a topic, get 10 MCQ questions with correct answers in under 30 seconds. Save 2 hours of paper-setting work per test.
Batch-based, not class-based
TutionMat organises everything by batch — the way coaching centres work. Not by academic year, class, or section like school software.
₹399/month — not ₹5,000
Indian coaching centres have tight margins. TutionMat is priced for the Indian market, starting at ₹399/month with no per-student fees and a 14-day free trial.
Works on any ₹8,000 Android phone
No expensive hardware, no app download. TutionMat runs in any browser on the phone your staff already has.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best coaching management software in India in 2026?
TutionMat is the most purpose-built coaching management software for Indian coaching institutes and tutors. It covers attendance with WhatsApp alerts, fee collection with UPI receipts, AI-powered test paper generation, exam ranking, and student management — all starting at ₹399/month. Classplus is better if you want to sell online courses. Vidyalaya suits full schools. Teachmint has pivoted to hardware.
Is Classplus good for offline coaching centres?
Classplus is primarily designed for online course selling and creating a branded teaching app. It lacks core features needed for offline coaching centres: attendance tracking, WhatsApp parent alerts, fee instalment management, and AI test generation. TutionMat is built specifically for these workflows.
What happened to Teachmint coaching management software?
Teachmint pivoted from a free teaching app to selling interactive flat panel (IFP) hardware boards ('Teachmint X') starting at ₹80,000+. They no longer offer a standalone coaching management SaaS product for fee tracking, attendance, and exam management.
Which software is cheapest for a home tutor in India?
TutionMat's Starter Tutor plan at ₹399/month is the most affordable purpose-built coaching management tool. It includes student management, attendance, fee tracking, and online tests. The 14-day free trial requires no credit card.
Can I manage 500+ students with TutionMat?
Yes. TutionMat's Mega Institute plan is designed for large coaching centres with hundreds of students across multiple batches. It includes advanced analytics, role-based access for multiple staff members, and high-volume WhatsApp alert support.
