Vawsum in Sikkim
Vawsum is a school ERP and parent engagement platform built by Vawsum Schools Pvt. Ltd. of Kolkata. In Sikkim it runs in four schools: Delhi Public School Gangtok and St. Xavier's School Pakyong in East Sikkim, and Namchi Public School and Sikkim Public School Ravangla in South Sikkim. Each runs the mobile app for parent communication alongside attendance, fee collection with online payments, marksheets, certificates and ID cards. Support is delivered in person by a Vawsum team permanently based in North Bengal.

A dash means the module is available in Vawsum but is not part of that school’s current implementation.
Support Comes from North Bengal, Not from a Distant Head Office
The practical reason Vawsum is a natural fit for a school in Sikkim
North Bengal is the road gateway into Sikkim, which is what makes this arrangement practical rather than nominal. A school evaluating an ERP is really asking two questions: does the software do the job, and who turns up when something goes wrong in the middle of a fee cycle. Most vendors answer the second question remotely.
Vawsum Schools Pvt. Ltd. serves more than 1,000 institutions across India, with over 250 of them concentrated across West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam and Nagaland. Sikkim sits inside that belt rather than at the edge of a national footprint – the product has been shaped by schools working under the same boards, the same fee collection practices and the same terrain.

How Schools in Sikkim Use Vawsum
What the modules above actually do day to day
Talking to parents
The app carries circulars, homework, absence alerts, results and fee reminders. SMS covers families without a smartphone, so nobody is left out of an urgent notice. Teachers and parents message through the platform rather than swapping personal numbers, which keeps a record with the school and keeps a teacher’s evening to themselves. See Vawsum Connect.
Collecting fees
Parents pay by UPI, net banking, or debit and credit card, and counter collections land in the same ledger – so the cashier’s day-end and online receipts reconcile against each other instead of being totalled separately. The school holds its own merchant account with the gateway or bank, and settlement goes straight to the institution. See the Fee Management System.
Producing records
Marksheets cover mark entry, tabulation and printed report cards on CBSE and CISCE templates, printed in-house without special stationery. Transfer certificates, bonafide letters and character certificates pull from the same student record instead of being retyped, and ID cards come off that record too.
Delhi Public School, Gangtok: the widest deployment
DPS Gangtok runs four modules the others have not adopted. Its report cards are NEP-aligned holistic progress cards, recording scholastic and co-scholastic development rather than marks alone. Inventory tracks uniforms, books and consumables against the same student database. Hostel and transport cover its residential and bus operations – the kind of load a larger Gangtok campus carries and a smaller school usually does not.

Getting Started
How a Sikkim school moves onto Vawsum
The Vawsum team handles setup and data migration rather than leaving it with the school office: a requirement discussion to establish what needs fixing first, module selection, migration of existing student, staff and fee records, configuration of fee heads, grading schemes and report card templates to the school’s own structure, training for administrators, teachers and the accounts office, testing, then release to parents. Support afterwards runs in English, Hindi and Bengali – and in Sikkim, in person from the North Bengal team.
Frequently asked questions
School management software in Sikkim
1. Which schools in Sikkim use Vawsum?
Delhi Public School in Gangtok and St. Xavier’s School in Pakyong, both East Sikkim; Namchi Public School in Namchi and Sikkim Public School in Ravangla, both South Sikkim.
2. How does Vawsum support a school in Sikkim?

3. Which boards does Vawsum support?
CBSE and CISCE templates are built in, along with NEP-aligned holistic progress cards. Vawsum also covers West Bengal state board institutions, and works across English, Hindi and Bengali medium schools.
4. Does Vawsum support online fee payments?
Yes. Vawsum integrates with Razorpay, PayU, SabPaisa and Easebuzz, plus the gateways of eight banks including ICICI, HDFC, Axis and Bandhan. The school holds its own merchant account, negotiates its own transaction rates, and settlement goes directly to the institution.
5. Does Vawsum support NEP-compatible holistic assessment?
Yes. Vawsum generates NEP-aligned holistic progress cards recording scholastic and co-scholastic development alongside marks. Delhi Public School Gangtok uses this capability.
6. Can a school choose only the modules it needs?
Yes, and the four Sikkim schools are an example: all run the core set, while DPS Gangtok has additionally taken NEP holistic marksheets, inventory, hostel and transport.
7. Do we have to replace our existing biometric machines or payment gateway?
Almost certainly not. Vawsum works with eSSL devices through eTimeTrack and eBIOServer, connects to the gateway your accounts office already uses, and integrates with Tally, MapmyIndia and Streamax. Send the model numbers and we will confirm before you spend anything.
8. Is there a mobile app for parents and students?
Yes. Parents receive circulars, absence alerts, homework, results and fee reminders in the app and can pay fees from it. Students access study material, assignments and online tests through the same app, without a separate login or a school-issued device.
