How to Generate and Print Result Cards

In EDUBase, result cards are produced by setting up subjects, test types, weightage and grading once, entering marks on award lists per class, subject and exam, then printing themed result cards in your school's branding, with grades, positions and pass rules applied automatically.

What must be set up before result cards can print?

A result card is only as correct as the exam setup behind it. In EDUBase the Examinations module asks you to define these things once per session, after which every exam of the year reuses them.

Most schools complete this setup during onboarding and then only adjust weightage or grade bands when policy changes.

  • Subjects, subject groups and subjects in classes, so each class carries the right subject list
  • Test types such as monthly test, mid-term and final, with weightage for term totals
  • Grading policies — school-wide or class-specific grade bands and pass marks
  • Subject allocation for students taking optional or elective subjects
  • Branding: logo, colour theme and footer signatures applied to cards and reports

How are marks entered for a class?

Marks go in through award lists. You create an award list for a class, a subject and an exam, and the teacher or the exam clerk enters or updates the marks on that screen. Combined award lists cover several subjects at once when that suits the school.

Marks SMS can be sent to parents in the same step as entry, so families hear the result without a separate task. Every award list can be printed or exported to Excel if the school also keeps a paper record.

  • Create the award list per class, section, subject and exam
  • Enter or update marks; corrections are made on the same list
  • Send marks SMS from the entry screen if the school wants it
  • Print or export the award list for checking and signatures

How do I generate and print the result cards themselves?

Once marks are entered, result cards are generated from the Examinations menu. EDUBase offers themed result cards and report designs — month-wise, subject-wise, term-wise and combined — all carrying school branding and custom signatures.

Positions and pass rules are applied by the system. Class and section positions can optionally be counted only among students who passed every subject, so a strong average does not outrank a student who cleared all papers.

Cards print as branded PDFs, so they can be printed in batches for a whole class or section and handed out at the result day or PTM.

  • Choose the report design: month-wise, subject-wise, term-wise or combined
  • Grades come from the grading policy; term totals come from test-type weightage
  • Class and section positions are calculated, with the optional all-subjects-passed rule
  • Print as a branded PDF or export the underlying report to Excel

Can I hold results back until PTM?

Yes. Examinations includes a setting to show or hide marks in the Parents App. Staff can complete data entry days in advance and release the results to parents only when the school is ready — commonly at the parent-teacher meeting, so the conversation happens with the teacher rather than over the phone.

Printed cards and app release are independent: you can print the cards for the file and still keep the app view closed until the release date.

  • Enter marks now, release to the Parents App later
  • Send marks SMS at the moment the school chooses
  • PTM invitations and class sittings are planned in the PTM module

What else prints around exam time?

The same Examinations menu handles the paperwork that surrounds a results cycle, so the exam office does not need a separate system.

For a per-child picture beyond the result card, Student 360° puts marks, position, attendance, fee standing, conduct and PTM notes for one period on one screen.

  • Date sheets built and printed per class
  • Exam roll numbers, exam hall allocation and roll number slips
  • Examination Reports: class, section, subject and term views with grades and positions
  • Teacher Performance: pass rate, averages and term trend per teacher
  • Certificates and letters from your own print templates when a leaver needs documents

Frequently asked questions

Can result cards carry our school's logo and signatures?
Yes. A branding screen applies your logo, colours and footer signatures to result cards, ID cards and reports, and themed result card designs are available in the Examinations module.
Do positions count students who failed a subject?
That is your choice. Class and section positions can optionally be counted only among students who passed every subject.
Can teachers enter the marks themselves?
Marks are entered on award lists per class, subject and exam. Staff logins are controlled by per-user, per-screen and per-action privileges, so the school decides who may enter or update marks.
Can parents see the result in the app instead of on paper?
Yes. Results can be released to the Parents App, and marks SMS can be sent from the award list screen. The show-or-hide setting lets you keep results closed until PTM.
Can we export results to Excel?
Every award list and examination report can be printed or exported.
Do we have to re-enter subjects and grading for each exam?
No. Subjects, subject groups, test types, weightage and grading policies are set up once and reused by every exam that follows.
