How a school is set up
WISCA is set up for a school, not by a single teacher. The school's administrator does three things:
- The school year. The school year runs from April to March, for example 2026-27, and one button creates the current one.
- A sheet of teachers. Email, name, class, section and subject.
- A sheet of students. Name, class, section and roll number, with an optional ID.
WISCA checks each sheet and shows a preview before anything is saved. It then creates the classes. One press makes a login for every student in a class, and WISCA prints sign-in slips, eight to an A4 page, each with the school code, a username and a temporary password. The student chooses their own password at first sign-in.
The time setup takes depends on how ready the sheets are, so no number of days is promised. A demo shows the steps with a class like yours. A next-year file moves students on instead of making them again, so their place carries forward.
Who sees what
| Role | What they do and see |
|---|---|
| School administrator | Sets up the school, makes logins, decides whether the optional assistant is on. Sees counts only, with no teacher or student named or ranked. |
| Head of department | Sets how verified a question must be and what papers may be given as. Sees syllabus coverage by chapter across the sections. |
| Teacher | Makes, approves, prints and marks papers for their own classes, and sees those classes' marks. |
| Student | Answers a printed paper. Sees their own result, and what to practise next, once the teacher has shared it. |
| Parent | Reads. Sees their child's shared results and the school's notices. The school makes parent logins, after it records the parents' consent. |
How papers are controlled
Nothing is given to a class until a teacher approves it. Approving lets the teacher give the paper, students and their parents are told, and an approved paper cannot be changed. A head of department can set how verified a question must be before a paper may use it.
Every mark has a history. When a mark changes, WISCA keeps who changed it, when and why, in a record that cannot be edited afterwards. Nothing that names a child is copied into that record.
What a school needs
- A list of its teachers and a list of its students.
- A way to print A4 pages.
- For each teacher, a phone or a computer with a current web browser, and a phone camera or an office scanner for scanning.
Students do not need a device. Papers are printed and answered on paper, and a teacher can turn on answering on screen for a paper. WISCA covers CBSE only, Classes 6 to 12.
More than one school
WISCA is set up one school at a time, and each school's data stays its own. If you run a group of schools, write to ceo@wisca.io and say how many and where, and the team will say what is possible.
The next step
There is no self-serve free trial. A demo is how a school sees WISCA: the team sets up a class and subject like yours and takes one paper from the first question to the last mark. Book a demo, or write to ceo@wisca.io.
Common questions
How does a school get started with WISCA?
A school is set up in three steps: the school year, a sheet of teachers and a sheet of students. WISCA then creates the classes and can print a sign-in slip for each student.
What does a school need to run WISCA?
A list of its teachers, a list of its students and a way to print A4 pages. Teachers need a phone or a computer with a browser, and a phone camera or an office scanner for scanning.
What does a principal see in WISCA?
Counts only. No teacher or student is named or ranked in a report.
Does WISCA work for a group of schools?
WISCA is set up one school at a time and each school's data stays its own. For a group, write to the team and say how many schools and where.
