Schedule and record an interaction#

A scheduled meeting tells the family exactly when and where to come. Recording the result keeps your decision and merit points with the application.

Your school must switch this on in Admissions › Settings › Selection. What it is called ("Interview", "Test" or "Interaction") also comes from there. This is separate from the online entrance test.

school.edii.in/admissions/application

Schedule it (at Applied, Under review or Waitlisted):

1. Choose More › Schedule interview.
2. Set Date and time. It must be in the future and within a year. The hint shows it in IST.
3. Choose How: "In person", "Online" or "Phone".
4. Fill Venue (optional), or Meeting link (optional) for an online meeting.
5. Add a Note for the family (optional) (up to 500 characters).
6. Press Schedule. You see "Scheduled".

The family gets "Interaction scheduled" with the date, time, mode, venue and your note. On the tracking page they see the card "Interaction with the school". The status detail becomes "Interaction scheduled", unless it shows "Documents pending" or "Correction requested", which stay.

Record the result (at Applied, Under review, Offered or Waitlisted):

1. Choose More › Record interview result. When the merit list is on, it is Record result and merit points.
2. Enter a Score (optional) of 0 or more.
3. Enter Merit points for each criterion, " (out of )". A criterion that takes its points from the entrance test is greyed out with "From the entrance test".
4. Check the Total merit points.
5. Add Remarks (optional).
6. Press Save result. You see "Result saved".

You need a score, a remark or at least one merit point. "Results and merit points are for staff. Families see their merit list position only after you publish the merit list." No message goes to the family. The status detail becomes "Interaction done", unless it shows "Documents pending", "Offer accepted" or "Correction requested", which stay.

If the class's merit list is published, points cannot be changed: "Unpublish the merit list for class before changing points". See The Merit list page.

Follow up and assign#

Assigning an application and logging follow-ups make sure every family gets a call back, and that the right person makes it.

school.edii.in/admissions/application

1. Choose More › Assign / set priority.
2. In Assigned to, choose a staff member, or "Not assigned". "The staff member follows up with this family."

Add a note for staff: type in Add a note for staff (up to 2000 characters) and press Add note. "Notes are seen by school staff only."

Send a message to a family#

The Messages tab shows every message sent to the family and lets you send a new one.

At the top, chips show which channels can reach this family: "WhatsApp", "Email" and "App notification". A channel that cannot be used shows "– not available" with the reason, for example "There is no contact email address." or "The family has not signed in to the parent app for this application."

The table lists "When", "Channel", "Message", "To" and "Status" ("Sent", "Queued", "Delivered", "Read", "Failed" or "Not sent"). Message names include "Application received", "Documents requested", "Seat offered", "Payment received" and "Message from the school".

school.edii.in/admissions/application

Handle a correction request#

Families cannot change a form after they submit it. Instead, they ask you to correct it, and you make the change. This keeps the submitted application safe while still fixing mistakes.

A family can ask for a correction from their tracking page or the EDII app while the application is Applied, Under review, Offered or Waitlisted. Staff in Staff to notify get "Family asked for a correction".

The application shows a banner: "The family asked for a correction on ." with the family's note. The status detail is "Correction requested".

1. Read the family's note.
2. Make the change on the Profile tab and press Save changes. If a document needs replacing, use Request documents instead.
3. Press Correction done.
4. Add a Note for the family (optional), for example what you changed (up to 2000 characters).
5. Press Correction done. You see "Correction request closed".

The family sees your note on their tracking page as "Update from the school". No message is sent. If the family had already accepted a seat offer, the status detail shows "Offer accepted" again.

Offer a seat#

Offering a seat tells the family the good news and gives them a clear date to accept by.

school.edii.in/admissions/application

1. Press Offer seat (at Applied, Under review or Waitlisted).
2. Check Family must accept by. It starts at today plus the days set in Admissions › Settings › Selection › An offered seat stays open for. You can choose today or a later date, up to 180 days ahead. The hint says "The offer ends at , 11:59 PM (IST)."
3. Add a Note (optional, kept in the timeline). It is also added to the email and the app notification. WhatsApp sends only the standard update.
4. Read who will be told.
5. Press Offer seat. You see "Seat offered".

The family gets "Seat offered" with the accept-by date. On their tracking page they see a countdown and the buttons to accept or decline (see Reply to a seat offer).

Seats never block an offer. If you offer more seats than the class has, EDII shows a warning, for example "Class 1 now has 42 offers and admissions for 40 seats".

What happens next:

An offer that was accepted, or whose admission fee is paid, never expires. Reminders and automatic expiry follow the rules in Tab 5: Selection.

To offer seats to every child who qualified in the entrance test in one go, see Offer a seat to all who qualified.

The Print menu prints A4 pages for the family's file:

• Application form (A4): your school's header, the child's photo (or "Paste a recent passport-size photograph"), every office section of the form, the fees, a documents table, the consent line and signature spaces ("Signature of parent / guardian", "Date", "Signature of admission office"). Use it for walk-in families to check and sign.
• Entrance test hall ticket (A4): while the test is scheduled or running. See Hall tickets.
• Receipt: : one for each paid fee. See Collect and record fees.

The Merit list page#

If you rank applicants by points (switched on in Tab 5: Selection), the Merit list page ranks the applicants of one class by their total merit points, and lets you show each family their own child's position.

Open Admissions › Merit list. The page shows "Admission session ".

1. Choose the Class. The page remembers the last class in this browser.
2. Check the ranking. The criteria show as chips, for example "Interaction (10)"; a criterion that takes its points from the entrance test is marked "from the entrance test".
3. Turn on Publish and confirm. The dialog says "Publish the merit list for ?" and "Families of the ranked applicants in will see their own child's position on their tracking page. They will not see the full list or other children's names."

You see "Families of ranked applicants in can now see their child's position." No message is sent to families when you publish.

• Ranked applicants shows " ranked · without merit points · updated " and a Refresh button. The columns are Rank (the top three highlighted), Applicant, Stage, one column per criterion, and Total.
• Without merit points lists applicants who are "Not ranked until points are recorded with their interaction or test result."
• Not selected and Withdrawn applications are left off the list.
• Print (A4) prints the class list, marked "Published to families" or "Not published to families".
• Publish is greyed out while no applicant in the class has merit points yet.

To hide the list again, turn off Publish and press Hide from families. "Families will no longer see their child's position for on their tracking page."

If merit points are switched off in Settings, the page says "Merit points are switched off for this admission session, so no new points are recorded at interactions or tests." with Set merit criteria in Settings.

school.edii.in/admissions/merit-list

Admit with the Admit wizard#

Admitting turns an offered application into a student in your school's records, with no retyping. The family's mobile number can then sign in to the EDII app.

You can admit only at Offered, and your role needs Admission › Edit and Student › Create. Press Admit on the application page.

Before you admit#

The wizard does not insist that the family accepted the offer, paid the fees or that you verified the documents. Check these yourself first:

• Has the family accepted the seat, or told you they will take it?
• Are the fees you collect in Admissions paid?
• Are the documents verified, including a JPG photo?
• Is everything on the Profile tab correct and saved?
• If you collect the admission fee in Admissions, has your fee office dealt with the "New Student" fee head? Otherwise the family could be charged twice. See Tab 2: Fees & numbers.

Step 1: Check details#

The wizard opens with "Preparing the student record…", then shows "The student record will be created with" and every value it will use.

school.edii.in/admissions/application

1. Read every row: name, class, date of birth, parents, mobile for the parent app, address and the documents to be copied (" files").
2. Read "These details stay on the application", the answers the student record has no place for.
3. Read "Please check before admitting". These warnings do not stop you. For example:
   • "The family asked for school transport: assign a route after admission."
   • "The optional subject is not copied: set it in the student's subjects after admission."
   • "There is no photo on the application: the student record will have no photo."
   • "A student record for this application already exists (EDII ID ). Admit will link it instead of creating another."
4. If "This applicant cannot be admitted yet" shows, see When Admit is blocked or interrupted.
5. Press Next.

Step 2: Section and ID#

1. Choose the Section. Sections your role cannot add students to say "(no permission)".
2. Check the Student ID (required). It is "Suggested by your school's admission number rule." or is the "Next number from the school's student ID counter." If you change it, Use suggested ID puts the suggestion back.
3. Check the Admission form no. It is the "Next number from the school's admission form counter."
4. Check the Enrolment no. It is the "Same as the student ID unless you change it."
5. Press Next.

Each number can have up to 40 characters.

Step 3: Admit#

The last step asks "Create this student?" and shows the student, class and section, session, student ID, admission form number, enrolment number, date of admission and mobile for the parent app.

1. If warnings are listed, tick I have checked these points.
2. Read: "The student is added to –
   for , the class fees apply as for any new student, and the family's mobile number can sign in to the parent app. This cannot be undone from Admissions."
3. Press Admit student.

When it is done, you see " is now a student." with the class, section, session, student ID and EDII ID, and a toast " is now a student". Press Open student profile to see the record, or Back to application.

The date of admission is today (India time).

After admitting:

• The application moves to Admitted. The banner reads "Admitted on as student ID in –
  by ."
• The family gets "Admission confirmed" with the class and section, by email and app notification.
• The application becomes read only. Its documents and answers stay with it.

What carries into the student record#

The age rule is not checked when you admit.

When Admit is blocked or interrupted#

If the wizard shows "This applicant cannot be admitted yet", it lists the reasons. "Close this window, sort these out (most are on the Profile tab), then choose Admit again."

If the admission is not confirmed:

If you see "The server did not confirm the admission. Check whether the student was created before trying again.", press Check now. It tells you "The admission is still being processed. Check again in a moment." or "The student was not created. You can try again."

If the student was created but the application did not move:

The application shows "The student was created (EDII ID , student ID ) but this application was not marked admitted." and "Choose Mark as admitted to finish. No second student is created."

1. Press Mark as admitted.
2. You see "Marked as admitted".

Reports#

The Admissions report lists the session's applications with their stage and fee details. Use it for management meetings, fee reconciliation and follow-up lists.

Open Admissions › Reports. The page is called "Admissions report" and runs once on opening, with no filters.

school.edii.in/admissions/reports

Run a report:

1. Set Received from and Received to (DD-MM-YYYY), or press a quick range: Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, This month or Any date. A quick range runs the report at once.
2. Choose Stages, Classes and Sources if you need them.
3. Press Show report. Clear filters starts again.

The header shows " applications" and a summary of your filters with the time it was made, for example "Received 01-10-2026 to 22-10-2026 · Stage: Applied, Offered · 1 · Source: Walk-in · generated ".

What the report shows:

• An Applications by current stage chart.

It includes the application number, the child's and parents' names, phone and email, date of birth and gender, class, stage and status detail, source, assigned staff and priority, next follow-up, documents pending, both fees (amount, paid, mode, receipt number and date), interaction score, merit points, offer end date, and, once admitted, the student ID, section, EDII ID and admission date. Answers to your school's own form questions are not in the report. You can see them on each application's Profile tab. The waitlist position and the reason for Not selected or Withdrawn are not in the report either; see them in each application's key facts.
• Click a column header to sort. Click an application number to open that application. Rows without a number show Open.
• Show 25, 50, 100 or 200 rows per page.

Choose the columns: press Columns to show or hide columns (" of shown"). At least one must stay. Your choice is remembered in this browser. Show all columns brings them all back.

• Print (A4) prints the table with your school's name, the filter summary and the totals. With more than 7 columns it prints in landscape.

If the report does not load, you see "Could not load the report. Please try again." with Try again.

Online entrance tests#

Run your admission entrance test online, at a time you choose, with no papers to print and no answer sheets to check. You build the question paper once, families take the test in the EDII app or on admission.edii.in, and EDII marks every answer straight away so you can rank children, offer seats and add merit points the same day.

How it works at a glance#

Everything in this chapter works on one admission session: the one chosen in Admission session at the top right of every Admissions page. Check it before you start. Admissions are usually for next year, so it is often not the session the rest of EDII is showing.

Making papers, scheduling and fixing tests needs Admission › Edit; seeing papers and results needs Admission › View. See Who can use Admissions.

Step 1: Switch on the entrance test#

Switch the test on once for the admission session. Two new pages, Entrance tests and Test results, then appear in the Admissions tab bar.

1. Open Admissions › Settings.
2. Open the Entrance test tab.
3. Turn on Online entrance test. It now reads On for 2027-2028 (your session).
4. Optional: in Instructions shown before the test starts, write what every child should read before starting, for example "Keep a pencil and rough paper ready." Plain text, up to 2000 characters. "Used when the question paper has no instructions of its own": a paper's own instructions are shown instead when it has them.
5. Press Save settings.

The box Classes that take the test helps you with the next steps. Until a class takes the test it says "No class takes the entrance test yet." and lists the four steps of this chapter: save these settings with the test on, make and publish a question paper in Entrance tests, choose the paper and dates for a class on the Classes tab, then schedule the test from the Pipeline. After that it shows one line per class, with the class, the paper and the test window. Its buttons take you to the next steps: Go to Classes (Change in Classes once a class takes the test) and Open Entrance tests. If you have unsaved changes, it shows "Save these settings first, then open Entrance tests." and a Save settings button instead.

school.edii.in/admissions/settings

Step 2: Build a question paper#

A question paper holds your sections and questions. One paper can serve one class, or several classes can share it. Children always take the last version you published, so you can keep improving a paper without disturbing a test that is running.

Start a new paper#

1. Open Admissions › Entrance tests. The first time, the page says "No question papers yet." Press Make the first paper (later, New paper).
2. Fill in Paper details (table below).
3. Press Save. The first save keeps the paper as a draft: "The paper is saved as a draft."

Paper sections#

A new paper starts with one section, "Section 1". Sections let you group questions, for example "English", "Maths" and "General knowledge". Children see them as tabs on the test screen, and you see a score for each section.

• Type the section's title in its title box (up to 80 characters).
• Add section adds another one. A paper can have at most 10 sections.
• Use Move up and Move down, or drag a section, to change the order.
• Delete section removes the section and its questions when you save. An empty section goes without asking.

Add questions#

Under a section, press Add question and choose the kind of question.

Every question also has:

• Marks: 0.5 to 100, in steps of 0.5. A new question gets 1 mark.
• Topic (optional): up to 80 characters, for your own sorting.
• Question: the question text, up to 2000 characters.

An option can have up to 500 characters. A blank's answer can have up to 100 characters. There is no negative marking: a wrong or unanswered question gets 0.

Each question shows a header line: its number ("Q3"), the start of its text, its kind, its marks, a picture icon when it has a picture, "Needs a fix" when something is missing, and "Reviewed" or "Not reviewed". Click the header to open or close the question. Open all and Close all in the tools box do this for every question.

At the foot of each question you can Move up, Move down, Duplicate or Delete question. A paper can have at most 200 questions.

Add pictures#

Each question, and each option, can have one picture. Pictures help with maps, shapes, counting objects and "what is this" questions for young children.

1. Save the paper first. A picture needs a saved question.
2. Open the question and press Add picture.
3. Choose a JPG or PNG file of up to 2 MB.

Use Change picture or Remove picture to change it later. For a picture on an option, save your changes to the question first. An option needs text, a picture, or both.

Import from your question bank#

If your school already has multiple-choice questions in its EDII question bank, you can bring them into the paper instead of typing them again.

1. Press Import from question bank in the tools box, or From question bank under a section.
2. Type the Class and the Subject exactly as they are written in your question bank, for example "6" and "Maths". Add a Topic (optional) to narrow the list.
3. Choose the section in Add the questions to.
4. Press Show questions.
5. Tick the questions you want. You can add up to 100 at a time, or as many as the paper still has room for. Tick all and Clear help.
6. Press Import with the number of questions, for example Import 25 questions.
7. Open each imported question, check it, and tick Reviewed (see Mark every question as reviewed).

Rules to know:

• Only questions with one correct option can be imported.
• Pictures are not imported. Such a question shows "Picture not imported". Add the picture yourself if the question needs it.
• A question that cannot be imported shows the reason, for example "Only one-answer (MCQ) questions can be imported" or "The answer does not match any option".
• No questions found? Check the spelling of the class and subject, or leave the topic empty.

The import adds questions to the saved paper. If you have unsaved changes, EDII asks "Save the paper first?". Press Save and continue.

Paste questions from Excel#

You can type many questions in Excel and paste them in one go.

1. In Excel, make one row per question with these columns, in this order: kind, text, A, B, C, D, E, F, answer, marks, topic.
2. Copy the rows.
3. Press Paste questions in the tools box, or Paste under a section.
4. Choose the section in Add the questions to, then paste into Rows.
5. Read the live check under the box: how many rows were read, how many are ready to add and how many have a problem. Each problem is listed under its row number, with the reason, for example "The answer must be true or false."
6. Press Import.
7. Open each pasted question, check it, and tick Reviewed.

For a blanks question, put the answers in the answer column in the order of the blanks, separated by a straight bar, for example 1947|New Delhi. Give 1 to 3 answers.

The paste box shows this example, which you can copy as a starting point:

kind,text,A,B,C,D,E,F,answer,marks,topic
option,"Which is the largest planet?",Earth,Jupiter,Mars,Venus,,,B,1,Space
boolean,The sun rises in the east.,,,,,,,true,1,Directions
blanks,"India became independent in ____ and its capital is ____.",,,,,,,1947|New Delhi,2,History

More rules:

• A first row with the column names is fine.
• If you type the rows by hand with commas, put a cell in "double quotes" when it has a comma inside.
• Paste at most 200 KB of text at a time. If the paper does not have room for all the rows, EDII tells you how many more it can take.
• EDII checks the rows again when you import. Rows it cannot add are listed under "Rows not imported", with the reason.

school.edii.in/admissions/tests

Preview as the child sees it#

Press Preview as the child sees it in the tools box. You see the paper the way a child sees it: the instructions, Start the test, one question at a time, and Previous and Next.

• The preview shows the paper as it is on your screen now, even before you save.
• Answers are hidden and nothing you choose is saved.
• When the paper shuffles, each child gets a different order. The preview shows one example.

Press Close preview to go back.

Print the paper#

Press Print paper (A4) and choose:

• Question paper: the paper without answers, with lines for the child's name and application number. Useful for your records.
• With the answer key: every question with its correct answer. Useful for a second teacher to check your answers before you publish.

If you print with unsaved changes, the print says "Includes changes that are not saved yet." Printing must be enabled for your school.

Mark every question as reviewed#

A paper can be published only when every question is marked as reviewed. This makes sure a teacher has read each question and its answer at least once.

1. Open a question and read it with its answer.
2. Tick Reviewed: the question and its answer are correct.
3. Save.

The save bar shows how many questions are not reviewed yet, for example "3 not reviewed". Questions you import or paste always arrive not reviewed.

Save and publish#

1. Press Save. If something is missing, the page lists it ("Fix these 2 problems before saving") and marks each question that needs a fix.
2. Press Publish. (After the first time the button reads Publish changes.)
3. Read the check:
   • No questions yet: "Add at least one question, then publish the paper." (From the papers list the check is titled "Add questions first".)
   • Some questions not reviewed: "Mark every question as reviewed first". Press Show the first one to jump to it.
   • All good: "Publish Class 6 entrance test?" The first time it says that all the questions are reviewed and that children can take the paper once a class uses it and the test is scheduled. Later it says "This publishes your changes as version 2. Tests that have already started keep the version they started with."
4. Press Publish. You see "Version 1 is published." (or the next number).

Publishing uses the saved paper. If you have unsaved changes, EDII offers Save and continue first.

If someone else saved the same paper while you were working, EDII says "This paper was changed by someone else". Choose Reload the paper to see their version (your changes on the page are lost), or Keep my changes.

school.edii.in/admissions/tests

The papers list: duplicate and close#

Admissions › Entrance tests lists the session's papers, open papers first. For each paper you see its Name, Classes, Language, Questions, Total marks, Duration, Status ("Draft", "Published" or "Closed", with its version, for example "v3"), Used by (the classes that take it) and when it was Updated.

• Open opens the paper in the editor.
• Publish appears for drafts and for papers with unpublished changes.
• Duplicate saves a copy named "Copy of …" as a new draft, with all questions, answers, pictures and review ticks, and opens it. Use it to make next class's paper from this one.
• Close stops a paper for good. A closed paper cannot be changed and no new test can start on it. Tests already running finish normally. You cannot close a paper while a class uses it: choose another paper for that class in Settings first.

A session can have at most 30 question papers, closed ones included. All paper limits are in Entrance test limits.

school.edii.in/admissions/tests

Write fill-in-the-blank questions that mark fairly#

EDII marks blanks on its own, the moment the child submits. It compares each typed answer with the one answer you gave for that blank. It cannot guess what the child meant. So write every blank so that only one answer can be right.

• One exact answer per blank. You can give only one correct answer for each blank. There is no list of other accepted answers, no synonyms and no allowance for spelling mistakes. If two answers could both be right, make it a multiple-choice question instead.
• Ask for one word or one number. Short answers leave little room for a different but correct wording.
• Say how to write it. Add a hint in the question, for example "(write the number in figures)" or "(one word)".
• Avoid words with more than one common spelling, such as names that families write in different ways.
• Make the blanks and the answers match. The child gets one answer box for each answer you add, whatever your question text shows. EDII does not count the ____ in your text for you. If the question has two ____, add exactly two answers.
• Keep to three blanks or fewer. A question can have 1 to 3 blanks. Each blank is worth an equal share of the marks. For example, a 3-mark question with 3 blanks gives 2 marks when 2 blanks are right.
• Preview and print. Use Preview as the child sees it and Print paper (A4) › With the answer key before you publish.

What EDII forgives, and what it does not:

EDII also treats curly and straight quotes, and the different kinds of dash, as the same.

Step 3: Set the test for a class#

Each class can have its own paper, its own dates, its own time and its own pass mark. Several classes can share one paper.

1. Open Admissions › Settings and the Classes tab.
2. On the class card, press Entrance test. While the test is on, the card shows a short summary, for example "No entrance test", "No question paper chosen", "Test window not set", or the paper and its window. A draft paper shows "(not published yet)".
3. In the dialog Entrance test for Class 6, turn on the switch. It now reads "Applicants of Class 6 take the entrance test".
4. Fill in the fields (table below).
5. Press Apply.
6. Press Save settings on the page. Apply alone does not save.

The dialog reminds you: "Families never see the answers or the correct answers."

What families see after the test, for each choice:

The dialog warns you, without stopping you, when the paper is not published yet, when it is closed, when it has changes that are not published (children get the published version), when the pass marks are more than the paper's total, or when the window has already ended.

school.edii.in/admissions/settings

Once a class takes the test, families see it on your admission page before they apply. On admission.edii.in the class shows the test window and how long the test takes. In the EDII app it shows "Entrance test on" and the date.

Step 4: Schedule the test#

Scheduling tells every family when and how to take the test, and puts the test on their application. You can schedule a whole class at once, or only the applications you choose.

Who can be scheduled#

An application can be scheduled when:

• it is at Applied, Under review or Waitlisted (not an enquiry, and not a form that is still being filled in);
• its class takes the entrance test, with a published paper and a test window;
• the class's test window has not ended;
• the child is not exempt; and
• the child has not started or taken the test.

Schedule a whole class#

1. Open Admissions › Pipeline.
2. Press Schedule entrance test for class….
3. In Schedule the entrance test for a class, choose the Class. It schedules "Every applicant of the class at Applied, Under review or Waitlisted who has not taken the test yet."
4. Check the line under The test: the window, the minutes and the pass marks.
5. Optional: add a Note for families (optional), for example what the child should keep ready (up to 1000 characters). It is added to the message.
6. Press Schedule for Class 6.

A class with more than 1,000 applications at these stages cannot be scheduled in one go. You see "Class 6 has more than 1000 applications to schedule. Please choose them in groups of 200." Schedule them from the Pipeline table instead, 200 at a time (see below).

school.edii.in/admissions/pipeline

Schedule chosen applications#

1. On the Pipeline, switch to Table.
2. Tick the applications (up to 200 at a time).
3. Press Schedule entrance test in the bar that appears.
4. The dialog Schedule the entrance test says how many will be scheduled, and lists the ones that will be skipped with the reason.
5. Add a note if you like, then press Schedule for with the number of applicants, for example Schedule for 12 applicants.

You can also schedule one child from the application page: open the Entrance test tab and press Schedule entrance test, or use More › Schedule entrance test.

How families are told#

Families get the Entrance test scheduled message by email (when they gave an email address) and by app notification (when they use the EDII app). It is never sent on WhatsApp. The message gives the date, the time window and the time allowed, and says to open the application and press Take the entrance test when the test opens. Your note is added as "Message from the school". The dialog shows who will be told. If the message is switched off in Admissions › Settings › Messages & staff, it says "The message for a scheduled test is switched off in Admission settings, so families are not told. Tell them yourself."

After scheduling: call the families with no email#

The result shows how many were scheduled, and groups the others by reason. A box These families have no email: call them lists each such child with the application number and the mobile number. "The test is scheduled for them. Families who use the parent app also get a notification, and the test shows on their application when they sign in."

Reasons a child is not scheduled#

The reasons that start with "Class …" stop every child of that class. They also show as a note at the end of the result.

Scheduling again#

Scheduling the same class again is safe. Children who are already scheduled with the same details are skipped as "Already scheduled". New applicants are scheduled.

If you changed the window, the time allowed, the pass marks or what families see, scheduling again updates each child's test ("Schedule updated") and sends the family the message again with the new details. If you chose a different paper for the class, tests not yet started on the old paper are cancelled and the children are scheduled on the new one.

Hall tickets#

A hall ticket shows the child's name and photo box, application number, class, date of birth, the test window, the time allowed, where to take the test and how. To print one, open the application's Entrance test tab and press Hall ticket, or use Print › Entrance test hall ticket (A4). It is available while the test is scheduled or being taken.

Families can open their own hall ticket on their application too: on admission.edii.in they can print it, and in the EDII app they can share it. See The hall ticket.

Follow the tests on the Pipeline#

While the test is on, a card or row on the Pipeline shows "Test:" and the status once the child has been scheduled. In the table view the column is called Fee, documents & test. The application page shows "Test scheduled" or "Test done" beside the stage.

Children who are not scheduled yet show no test line on the Pipeline. To find them, open Test results and choose Status › Not scheduled.

Before test day: a checklist#

• The test is switched on for the right admission session, and the settings are saved.
• The paper is published, every question is reviewed, and the papers list shows no Changes not published badge on it.
• A second teacher has checked the answers on the With the answer key print.
• Each class is set: paper chosen, Test opens and Test closes, Time allowed (minutes), Pass marks and What the family sees after the test, and Save settings pressed.
• The checklist on the Online admission tab shows the entrance test lines ticked.
• Every applicant is scheduled, including late applicants (schedule the class again; those already scheduled are skipped).
• Families with no email have been called, using the list shown after scheduling.
• The mobile number on each application is right. Families sign in with the mobile number on the application to see the test.
• Families know to start early. A child who starts late gets less time, because the test always ends when the window closes.
• Merit points are ready, if you want them: a merit criterion that takes its points From entrance test, and the class's merit list not published yet (otherwise the test points wait).
• Messages are on, if you want them: Admissions › Settings › Messages & staff › Entrance test scheduled and Entrance test result.
• Hall tickets are printed for families who will need them.

On the test day#

What families do#

Families take the test on a phone or a computer, in the EDII app or on admission.edii.in. They sign in with the mobile number on the application. On the website they get a one-time code on WhatsApp. In the EDII app, a parent who already uses the app is usually signed in straight away; others get the same WhatsApp code.

1. They open the application: on the website, the school's tracking page on admission.edii.in (the link on the hall ticket); in the app, Admissions › My applications, or the notification.
2. On the Entrance test card they press Take the entrance test when the window opens, then Start the test.
3. They answer one question per screen, and press Submit when done. After submitting, answers cannot be changed.

Every screen the family sees, with its messages, is described in Take the entrance test. Use it when a family calls you on the day.

The clock#

The website shows the child how much time is left before they start, for example "Start by 10:15 am to have the full time." or "If you start now, you will have 30 minutes."

Saving and automatic submit#

Every answer is saved as the child gives it, and a dropped connection does not lose answers already given. A test can be continued on another device, and copying question text is blocked inside the test.

When the clock reaches zero, the test submits the saved answers on its own. EDII accepts answers for one extra minute after the time ends, to cover a slow connection. After that, only the answers already saved count.

If the child simply closed the page, EDII still submits the saved answers: it checks every 5 minutes for tests whose time is over. Such a test shows "Submitted when the time was over" in Test results, and "The answers were submitted automatically when the time ran out." on the application.

What the family sees afterwards#

The result screen, and the test card on the application, show only what the class setting allows (see Step 3): "Qualified", "Not qualified", the score, or "Submitted. The school will inform you." Families never see the answers, the correct answers or the flags.

Unless the class is set to Nothing, the school will inform them, families also get the Entrance test result message by email and app notification, for example "Entrance test result: Qualified". With no pass mark, the message is headed "Entrance test received" and gives no result (with Score and result, it still gives the score). With Nothing, the school will inform them, no result message is sent.

What you see while the test runs#

Open Test results and press Refresh. Statuses move from "Scheduled" to "Taking the test" to "Result ready". Marking is immediate, so the score and rank appear as soon as a child submits.

The Flags column counts how often a child left the test page, left full screen or went offline. Flags are for staff only. They never change the score, and families never see them. Treat a high count as a reason to look closer, not as proof of copying.

Children who did not take the test#

A child who never started the test before the window closed is marked Absent automatically, every night at about 12:20 AM (India time). Families are not sent a message. The family's application shows "The test window ended before the test was taken. Please contact the school."

You do not have to wait for the night. On Test results, press Mark absent for all who missed (see below).

Test results#

Admissions › Test results shows every applicant of the classes that take the test, with their status, marks, result, time taken and rank.

school.edii.in/admissions/test-results

Filters and summary#

• Class: All classes, or one class that takes the test. The page remembers the last class in this browser.
• Status: All, Not scheduled, Scheduled, Taking the test, Submitted, Result ready, Absent, Exempt.

Each class has a summary card: Scheduled, Submitted, Result ready, Qualified, Absent, Exempt and Average (the average percentage).

The results table#

Click a column header to sort by it. Rank is worked out within each class, for results that are ready: the higher percentage comes first, and for equal percentages, the earlier submission.

Excel and print#

• Excel downloads every applicant that matches the filters, in the order shown, with the start and submit times (India time), the flag counts and a "Summary by class". The file is named like "entrance-test-results-2027-28-05-11-2026.xlsx".
• Print (A4) prints the summary and the table on landscape A4 pages.

Printing must be enabled for your school.

Mark absent for all who missed#

Use this after a window has closed, so you do not have to wait for the night.

1. Choose the class in Class, and All in Status.
2. Press Mark absent for all who missed. The number in brackets is how many children it will mark.
3. The dialog says how many children were scheduled, did not start and have a window that has ended. It lists the children it skips under Skipped, for example a child whose window is still open, with the date it ends.
4. Optional: add a Note (optional, kept with the test).
5. Press Mark with the number, for example Mark 4 absent.

Families are not sent a message. "If a child should take the test after all, use Reset attempt on the Entrance test tab of their application."

Offer a seat to all who qualified#

Use this to offer seats in one go to every child in the list who passed and whose result is ready.

1. Choose the class in Class, and All in Status.
2. Press Offer a seat to all who qualified. The number in brackets is how many children it will offer.
3. Set Family must accept by. It starts at today plus the offer days from Settings. The dialog shows when each offer ends (India time).
4. Optional: add a Note (optional, kept in the timeline).
5. Press Offer with the number, for example Offer 12 seats.

Each child gets a real seat offer, the same as Offer seat on the application. The family gets the Seat offered message on the channels switched on in Settings. Children already offered or admitted are skipped, and so are applications your role cannot change.

Both bulk actions work on at most 200 children per run, a few at a time, and show a line per child at the end: done, skipped with the reason, or not done. If there are more than 200, run it again for the rest.

One child's test on the application page#

Open an application and its Entrance test tab (or click the child's row in Test results). This is where you see everything about one child's test and fix problems.

school.edii.in/admissions/application

What the tab shows#

• The status and a sentence, for example "Scheduled. The test opens on 05-11-2026, 10:00 AM." or "Submitted. The result is ready." The status is one of "Not scheduled", "Scheduled", "Taking the test", "Submitted", "Result ready", "Absent", "Exempt" or "Cancelled".
• Details: "Question paper", "Test window", "Time allowed", "Scheduled on", "Started", "Submitted", "Time taken", "Score" (for example "12.5 / 20"), "Percentage" and "Result" ("Qualified", "Not qualified" or "No pass mark"). For an exempt child: the reason, who exempted and when.
• During the test: the counts "Left the test screen", "Left full screen" and "Went offline", and an Activity list with the time of each event, such as "Started the test", "Came back to the test", "Back online" and "Submitted". These are for staff only.
• Earlier attempts: each reset, with its reason, who did it, when, and the score at that time.
• Answers: one table per section with "No.", "Question" (with any picture and the options), "Answer given", "Correct answer", "Result" and "Marks". The result is "Correct", "Partly correct", "Wrong", "Not answered" or "Could not be marked".

If a question could not be marked with the answer key, the tab says how many were counted 0, and asks you to correct the answer key to mark the test again.

What you can do here#

The buttons appear only when the action is allowed for this child.

The quick reasons offered are:

• Reset attempt: "Connection problem during the test", "Device problem during the test", "Wrong child took the test".
• Mark absent: "Did not take the test in the window", "Family said the child will not take it".
• Exempt from test: "Sibling already studies here", "Admitted under a quota", "Medical reason", "Took the test in another session".

Giving a child another chance after the window#

A reset keeps the child on the same window. If that window has ended, the child cannot start. Then:

1. If the child started or finished the test, press Reset attempt on the Entrance test tab first. (A child marked absent does not need a reset.)
2. Open Admissions › Settings › Classes, press Entrance test on the class, set a new Test opens and Test closes, press Apply and Save settings.
3. On the Pipeline table, tick only this child and press Schedule entrance test. (Or press Schedule entrance test on the application.)

Other children keep their own window until you schedule them again.

Correct the answer key#

Found a wrong answer after children took the test? Correct it once, and EDII marks every test that has that question again.

1. Open the question in the paper editor and press Correct the answer key at its foot, or press Correct the answer key in the Answers table of a child's application.
2. Read the question and "Answer on the paper now".
3. Choose the right answer: the Correct option, True or False under Correct answer, or the Answer for blank boxes.
4. Press Correct and mark again.
5. EDII shows "The answer key is corrected." and how many results were marked again.

What it changes:

• The paper, every published version that holds the question, and every test that has the question.
• Results already worked out are marked again, so scores, results and ranks update.
• Test points on the merit list update too. If the class's merit list is published, the new points wait until you add them (see When test points wait).
• Families are not sent a new message. Where the class shows them a result, they see the new one the next time they open the application.

Before you can correct an answer, the paper must have no unsaved and no unpublished changes. Publish or discard them first. A closed paper with unpublished changes cannot be corrected here.

Merit points from the test#

If you rank applicants on a merit list, the test score can become merit points by itself. You do not type them.

To set it up, give one merit criterion Points come from › From entrance test on the Selection tab, and press Save settings (see Merit list criteria). For example, add Criterion 1 "Entrance test" with Maximum points 50. Other criteria stay Entered by staff.

How the points are worked out#

Points = the test score ÷ the paper's total marks × the criterion's maximum points.

For example, a child who scores 36 out of 40 on a criterion worth 50 points gets 36 ÷ 40 × 50 = 45 points. The points are added when the test is marked, for applications at Applied, Under review, Offered, Waitlisted or Admitted.

When staff record other points with More › Record result and merit points, the test criterion is greyed out and shows "From the entrance test". It cannot be typed in. An exempt child gets no test points.

On Admissions › Merit list, the test criterion's column is marked as coming from the entrance test. Publishing works as described in The Merit list page.

When test points wait#

While a class's merit list is published, its points are locked. A test marked after you published (or marked again after a reset or an answer key correction) cannot add its points. Such children show the badge Test points waiting on the Merit list and in Test results. The Merit list also says how many applicants are waiting, and the child's Entrance test tab says "The test points are not in the merit list yet."

To add the waiting points:

1. On Merit list, choose the class and turn off Publish ("Hide from families").
2. Open each marked application's Entrance test tab and press Add test points.
3. Turn Publish on again.

Messages families get about the test (Entrance test scheduled, Entrance test result, and Seat offered after a bulk offer) are listed in Messages families get. No message is sent when a child is marked absent, exempted, reset or marked again after an answer key correction, or when you publish the merit list.

If something goes wrong with the test#

Apply on admission.edii.in#

You can apply to a school, upload documents, pay the form fee and follow every step of the admission on admission.edii.in, from your phone and without a password. This chapter walks you through it in order, from finding the school to accepting a seat.

What you need before you start#

Keep these ready. They make the form quick to finish.

• A mobile number with WhatsApp. Your one-time password (OTP) comes on WhatsApp, not by SMS. Use the same number every time: it is how the website finds your applications.
• Your child's details exactly as on the birth certificate: first name, last name, date of birth and gender.
• Clear photos or scans of the documents the school asks for. A recent passport-style photo of the child is usually one of them.
• An email address (optional, but useful). Some updates, such as payment receipts, the entrance test date and the admission confirmation, come only by email and in the EDII app, never on WhatsApp.
• UPI, a debit or credit card, or net banking, if the school asks for a form fee online.

Find the school#

There are two ways to reach the school's admission page.

From the school's link. Many schools share a link such as admission.edii.in followed by the school's code. Tap it and the school's page opens straight away.

By searching:

1. Open admission.edii.in.
2. Under Schools open for admission, type at least 2 letters of the school's name or your city in the box marked School name or city. The school's code works too. The results update as you type.
3. Each school card shows its name, city, the session (for example Session 2027-28), how long applications stay open, and Open classes:.
4. Tap the school's card to open its admission page.

The card's chip tells you how much time is left:

If nothing matches, you see No school found with Show all schools. Check the spelling, or search by your city.

admission.edii.in

Read the school's admission page#

The school's page tells you everything before you apply: the dates, the classes, the fees, the age rule, the documents and any entrance test. Read it once from top to bottom.

Top of the page#

• Admissions 2027-28 and the school's name and address.
• Admission for session, only when the school takes applications for more than one session. Tap the session you are applying for.
• Applications: with the dates, for example "1 Nov 2026 to 31 Jan 2027", and a chip from the table above. Outside the admission dates the page says Online admission is not open for this school (see If admissions are closed).
• Three buttons:
  • Apply now (only when at least one class is open).
  • Track my application (always).
  • Ask a question (only when the school takes enquiries).

How to apply lists the steps for this school. The payment step appears only when the school takes the form fee online.

Classes and fees#

On a phone, each class is a card. Here is how to read it.

Further down the page#

• Document formats lists each document with its file types and size, for example "Birth certificate: JPG, PNG or PDF, up to 5 MB".
• Instructions from the school is the school's own note for families. Read it before you start.
• Have a question? shows the Admission desk phone and email, when the school has set them, with Apply now and Ask a question.
• The bottom of every page shows the Admission desk and the School office contacts.

Sign in with your mobile number#

There is no password. You prove your number with a one-time password (OTP) sent on WhatsApp. The same number then opens all your applications, at every school, on any device.

Tap Apply now or Apply for a class. The sign-in shows first.

1. Under Mobile number, type your 10-digit number. "+91" is already in front of the box.
2. Tap Send OTP.
3. Open WhatsApp. You get a 6-digit OTP.
4. Come back, type it in the OTP box and tap Verify and continue.

5. First time only. If this number has no admissions account yet, a red message says "Please read and accept the consent to continue". This is normal. The same screen now shows:

   • Parent or guardian name: type your full name.
   • EDII's account consent in a box. It explains that EDII keeps your number, your name and the children you add, and shares an application only with the school you send it to.
   • The tick box I am the child's parent or guardian and I agree to the above.

   Fill in your name, tick the box and tap Verify and continue again. You do not need a new OTP.

6. You are signed in. A first-time account sees "Your mobile number is verified."

OTP rules

If the OTP does not work

How long you stay signed in#

You stay signed in on that phone or computer while you keep using it. If you do not open the website for several days (at most a week), you are asked to verify your number again. If the sign-in ends while you are filling the form, an amber note asks you to verify your number again. The answers you had not saved yet stay on the page and are saved once you sign in.

admission.edii.in/yourschool/apply

Choose the class and the child#

After sign-in, the apply page asks two questions.

On a computer or a wide tablet, a Before you start panel sits beside the page. Once you pick a class it shows that class's form fee, admission fee, age rule, seats and Documents to upload, each with its file types and size. Until then it shows Documents to keep ready (and, on the sign-in screen, Classes and form fees too).

If you have applied to this school before, Your applications at this school comes first. Tap Continue to finish a form you started, or View to see one you already sent.

Which class are you applying for?#

Tap the class. If you came from a class's button, it is already chosen. Each class shows:

• Form fee ₹500 or No form fee, or Notify me for a class that is not open yet.
• The dates of birth that fit, for example "Born between 1 Apr 2022 and 31 Mar 2024".
• The seats left, when the school sets a limit.

Which child is this application for?#

• Tap a child you saved before. Each shows the name and "Born" date and gender.
• Or tap Another child ("Add a child who is not listed") and fill in First name, Last name, Date of birth and Gender. The hint says: "Enter the child's details exactly as on the birth certificate."

A child you add here is saved to your account for next time. You can save up to 10 children.

Then tap Start application. For a class that is not open yet, the button reads Notify me when applications open (see If admissions are closed).

If the age does not fit#

Under the form, "Age rule for Nursery: born between …" reminds you of the rule. If the date of birth is outside it, an amber warning appears. If you still tap Start application, the school's rule decides and a red message explains, for example: "Not eligible for Nursery: children born between 01-04-2023 and 31-03-2024 can apply. Age on 31-03-2027: 4 years 2 months." No application is created.

Check the date of birth, or choose the class that fits.

If your child already has an application here#

You cannot make two applications for the same child at the same school for the same session.

Fill in the form#

The form is the school's own. It is split into steps, one section per screen. The usual sections are Child details, Parents and guardian, Address, Previous school and Contact, but your school may use different ones. After the sections come Documents (when the class asks for any) and Review and submit. If the school takes the form fee online, a last step, Pay form fee, opens after you submit.

On a phone, the top shows "Step 2 of 5", the next step's name and a progress bar.

It saves as you go#

Each answer is saved when you leave a box, change a choice or move to another step. The top of the form shows where things stand:

At the bottom of each step, tap Save and continue to check the step and move on, or Back to go to the previous step. The note there says it plainly: you can close the page and finish later with the same mobile number.

What is already filled in#

• The child's name, date of birth and gender come from the child you chose.
• The contact mobile number (usually labelled Mobile number for updates) is the number you verified. It has a lock icon and cannot be changed here.
• If you applied before with this number, or a child of yours already studies at an EDII school with this number on the school's record, some family details such as parents' names, phone numbers and address may already be filled in. Check them. Aadhaar and PAN are never copied.

Rules the form checks#

Required fields carry a "*". The child's first name, date of birth, gender and contact mobile number are always needed, whatever the form shows. At least one of the father's, mother's or guardian's name is needed: "Enter the father's, mother's or guardian's name."

A field with a problem shows a red message once you leave it, such as "Enter a valid 6-digit PIN code." Any help text from the school shows under the field. The rule for each kind of answer (mobile number, Aadhaar, PAN, PIN code, email, dates, text and numbers) is in Form field rules.

Upload the documents#

The Documents step lists each document the class asks for. Photos taken on a phone are fine.

Each document card shows its name, its rule (for example "JPG, PNG or PDF · up to 5 MB") and a chip: Required, Optional or, once done, Uploaded.

1. Tap Choose file to pick a photo or file. On a phone or tablet you can also tap Take photo to use the back camera.
2. Wait while it shows "Preparing the file", "Uploading 45%" and "Checking the upload". An upload can take up to 2 minutes on a slow connection.
3. A message says, for example, "Birth certificate uploaded". The card now shows the file name, its size, a small preview for photos, and View.
4. To change a file, tap Replace. The newest file counts.
5. When every Required document is done, tap Save and continue.

If a required document is missing, you see "Upload … to continue." and the missing cards get a red outline.

The child's photo#

• The card reads "Photo (saved as JPG) · up to 2 MB" and asks for "A recent passport-style photo of the child, face clearly visible."
• Any photo from your phone works, including iPhone (HEIC) and PNG photos. The website turns it into a JPG for you, keeps the photo the right way up and makes it smaller (at most 1600 pixels on the long side).
• A PDF cannot be used for the photo.

Other documents#

• Use JPG, PNG or PDF, as the card allows. Each document has its own size limit (up to 10 MB), set by the school. The usual documents are listed in Files and uploads.
• When JPG is allowed, a photo that is too large is made smaller automatically.
• A PDF is never made smaller. If a PDF is too large, scan it again at a lower quality, or take a clear photo of the document instead.
• The website reads what the file really is, not its name. Renaming a file does not change its type.

If an upload fails

Review and submit#

Review and submit shows your whole application once more. Take a minute here: "You cannot change the form after you submit it; if something needs changing later, contact the school."

1. Complete these before you submit. If this box appears, it lists every problem, for example a missing answer or "Upload birth certificate.". Tap Fix next to each one. It opens the right step.
2. Check every section. Each section card shows your answers. Missing marks a required answer that is empty. "Left blank:" lists optional answers you skipped. Tap Edit to change a section.
3. Check the documents. The Documents card shows each file, or Not uploaded (required).
4. Read the fee note, when there is a form fee:
   • Paid online: "The form fee of ₹500 is paid online in the next step (UPI, card or net banking). Your application is sent to the school once the payment goes through."
   • Not paid online: "This school charges a form fee of ₹500. The school will tell you how to pay it."
5. Declaration. Read the school's consent text. Check your name under Parent or guardian name. Tick I am the child's parent or guardian. The details and documents I have given are correct, and I agree to the above.
6. Tap Submit application, or Submit and pay ₹500 when the form fee is paid online.

If online admission closes before you submit, you see "Online admission for this school is closed now. Please contact the school."

Pay the form fee (if the school asks)#

Some schools ask for the form fee online before the application is sent. If yours does, tapping Submit and pay opens the Pay form fee step. Your answers and documents are already saved.

1. Check the amount under Pay the form fee. If the school adds an online payment charge, the line under it shows the fee, the charge and the total, for example "Fee ₹500 + online payment charge ₹10 = ₹510". On a computer or tablet, a Payment summary with the child, class and session also shows beside it.
2. Tap Pay ₹… (the total). The secure payment page opens.
3. Pay by UPI, debit or credit card, or net banking. If one try fails inside the payment page, you can try again there.
4. When the payment goes through, you see Payment successful and "Sending your application to the school…". Your application is submitted on its own.

If something looks wrong

After you submit#

You see Application submitted: "Thank you. … has received your application. Keep the application number for your records."

• Application number, with Copy. Note it down or take a screenshot.
• The child, the class and session, and, when you paid, the form fee with its date and receipt number.
• What happens next:
  1. The school reviews your application and documents.
  2. The school keeps you informed at each step, for example if it asks for a document or offers a seat.
  3. You can check the status any time on the tracking page with the same mobile number.
• Buttons: Track this application, Apply for another child and Back to the school.

You also get an Application received message from the school, on WhatsApp, by email or in the EDII app, depending on the school's settings and whether you gave an email.

Track your application#

The tracking page shows where your application stands, what the school needs from you, your seat offer, your fees and receipts, and every update with its date.

Open your applications#

• On the school's page, tap Track my application. Or on the apply page, tap Track at the top.
• Sign in with the same mobile number (see Sign in with your mobile number).
• Your applications lists every application at this school. Open ones come first, newest first. Each row shows the child's name and status, the class and session, "Application no." and the next step. A row asking you to act has an alert icon. A seat offer also shows "Reply to the seat offer by …" with the date and time.
• Applications made with the same number at other schools sit under Other schools. Tap Show all to see them.
• Tap a row to open the application. All applications takes you back.

If you see "No applications to yet" after signing in, you signed in with a different number from the one on the application. Sign out and use that number, or contact the school.

To see every child and every school in one place, open admission.edii.in and tap Sign in. Your family shows one card per child with each application. From there you can also Add a child, Edit a saved child, or tap Apply to a school.

admission.edii.in/yourschool/track

Read the status#

The top of an application shows the child's name, the class and session, a status chip and one sentence that explains it. Below are Application number, Submitted on, Last updated, and after admission Admitted on and Section.

Each status, with the sentence the page shows under it, is listed in Stages. A second line under the chip may add detail, such as Documents pending, Entrance test scheduled or Offer accepted; these are listed in Status details.

The next step card#

When the school needs something from you, a Next step card appears near the top with a button.

When there is nothing for you to do, the list row shows a calm line instead, such as "No action needed now", "The school will contact you", "The school will confirm the admission", "Please pay the admission fee at the school", "The school will contact you about the balance of the admission fee" or "The school is reviewing your correction request".

Upload documents the school asks for#

After you submit, the school may ask for a document, or for a clearer copy. An amber note says "The school has asked for a document. Please upload it below." You also get a Documents requested message.

Each document in the Documents card shows its name, a status, the file you uploaded with its size and date, any School's note, and View.

To upload, tap Upload under the document and choose the file. The same file rules apply as on the form (see Upload the documents).

• You can upload only a document the school has asked for, while the application is open, and until the school checks it.
• There is no Take photo button here. Take the photo with your camera first, then choose it.
• If the card says "Please give this document to the school office.", it cannot be uploaded online. Take it to the school.

Pay fees and keep your receipts#

Fees and receipts lists the form fee and the admission fee when one is due or paid.

A paid fee shows Paid (or Waived) with Receipt number, Paid on, Payment mode ("Paid online", "Cash at the school", "UPI at the school", "Cheque" or "Paid earlier"), and for online payments the Payment ID and any Online payment charge. You also get a Payment received message by email and in the EDII app.

An unpaid fee shows Not paid and either a pay button or a note:

Paying here works the same way as the form fee: tap the button, pay, and the page updates with "Payment received. Thank you." If you see "Your payment has reached the payment gateway (payment ID …). It can take a few minutes to show here. Please do not pay again.", wait and tap Check again.

Reply to a seat offer#

When the school offers a seat, the status turns to Seat offered and you get a Seat offered message with the date to reply by. The Seat offer card shows:

• A countdown, for example "2 days 5 hours left". It turns amber when less than a day is left.
• Reply by with the date and time.
• "Accept to keep the seat for your child. If you do not reply in time, the seat may be offered to another child."

To accept:

1. Tap Accept the seat.
2. Check the message "You are accepting the seat for … in Class 1. The school will then confirm the admission."
3. Tap Accept the seat again. You see "You have accepted the seat."

The card then says "You accepted this seat on …". If the school collects the admission fee online, the next step becomes Pay the admission fee.

To decline:

1. Tap Decline.
2. Choose a Reason: "We have chosen another school", "The fees are too high for us", "The school is too far from our home", "We are moving to another city" or "Other reason".
3. Add anything else in Anything else the school should know (optional) (up to 400 characters).
4. Tap Decline the seat, read "The school may give this seat to another child. You cannot undo this." and tap Decline the seat again.

Interview or interaction#

If the school wants to meet your child and family, you get an Interaction scheduled message and the card Interaction with the school appears: "The school has set a time to meet your child and family."

• When: the date and time.
• How and Where, when the school gives them.
• School's note, for example what to bring.

After the meeting, the card says "The interaction took place on …. The school will let you know the next step."

Entrance test#

Some classes have an online entrance test. When the school schedules it, you get an Entrance test scheduled email and app notification, and an Entrance test card appears on the application, with Hall ticket and, when the window opens, Take the entrance test. Everything about the test, on the website and in the app, is in Take the entrance test.

Your child's place on the merit list#

If the school publishes a merit list, the card Merit list shows your child's own position, for example "… is at position 4 on the merit list the school has published for Class 1." You see only your own child's position.

History and the form you sent#

• History lists every update, newest first, with the date and time and any note from the school.
• The form you submitted (tap to open) shows your answers section by section. For an unfinished form it reads What you have filled in so far.

Ask for a correction#

After you submit, you cannot edit the form yourself. If something is wrong, ask the school to correct it.

1. Under Need to change something?, tap Ask for a correction.
2. In What needs to be corrected, write what is wrong and what it should be (5 to 400 characters). For example: "Father's mobile number should be 98765 43210."
3. Tap Send to the school. You see "Your request has been sent to the school."

A note on the application then says "You asked the school to correct your application. The school will check it and update it." You can ask for one correction at a time, while the application is received, under review, waitlisted or offered a seat. You can still upload documents the school asks for meanwhile. When the school has made the change, its note shows as "Update from the school".

Withdraw your application#

If you no longer want a seat, you can stop the application.

1. Under Need to change something?, tap Withdraw this application.
2. Choose a reason: "We have chosen another school", "We applied by mistake", "The school is too far from our home", "We are moving to another city" or "Other reason". Add a few words if you like.
3. Tap Withdraw application, read "The school will stop working on this application. You cannot undo this." and tap Withdraw.

You see "Your application has been withdrawn."

• While a seat offer is waiting for your reply, use Decline on the offer instead.
• An admitted child's application cannot be withdrawn here. Contact the school.
• You can also withdraw a form you have not submitted yet.

If admissions are closed#

You can still reach the school, even when it is not taking applications online.

The school is not taking applications online#

The school's page says Online admission is not open for this school. You see the same outside the school's admission dates, before it opens or after it closes.

• If the school takes enquiries, the form Ask the school a question is right there. You do not need to sign in.
• If not, the page shows the School office phone and email. Please call or write to the school.
• Already applied? Track your application still works.

Come back when the school opens admissions.

"Let me know when admission opens" (Notify me)#

A class marked Not open yet lets you register your interest.

1. On the school's page, tap Notify me for Class 1.
2. Sign in, choose the child, and tap Notify me when applications open.
3. You see "The school will let you know": the school has noted your interest.

When the school opens that class, it can send you an Admission open message. Your interest is then turned into the application when you start the form for that class. Keep an eye on the school's page too.

• Notify me is offered only while the school is taking online applications and the class is marked Not open yet.
• The child must fit the class's age rule, even for Notify me.

Send an enquiry#

Tap Ask a question on the school's page.

1. Fill in Your name, Mobile number ("The school will call or message you on this number.") and Class you are asking about.
2. Add Email (optional) and Your question (optional), up to 1000 characters.
3. Tap Send enquiry.

You see Enquiry sent, with Send another enquiry if you have more to ask. The school's admission team calls or messages you. You do not get a message from the website for an enquiry. You can send up to 3 enquiries a day from one mobile number.

admission.edii.in/yourschool/enquire

Messages from the school#

The school decides which messages go out and how. WhatsApp messages come only when the school uses WhatsApp. Emails come only when you gave an email address in the form. App notifications come when you use the EDII app with the same number. Every message you may get is listed in Messages families get.

You do not get a message when you send an enquiry, accept or decline a seat, withdraw, or ask for a correction. The tracking page shows these straight away. The school may also send you a message of its own about your application.

Your account on the website#

Tap Account at the top of the tracking page or the home page. The menu shows "Signed in with" your number (partly hidden) and:

• All my applications (on the tracking page): every application, every child, every school. On the home page you are already on this list.
• Sign out: signs you out in this browser. Your applications stay.
• Delete my account: asks "Delete your admissions account?" first. Your sign-in, saved children and contact details are removed, and unfinished forms are withdrawn. Applications you already submitted stay with the schools; contact a school to withdraw one. You cannot undo this. What happens to each part of your account is in Delete your admissions account.

The website has some limits to keep it safe and fair, for example 3 enquiries a day from one number. Most reset after an hour or the next day. They are listed in Limits families may meet. If the connection drops, you may see "Could not reach the admissions server. Check your internet connection and try again." Check your signal and tap Try again.

The EDII app and the entrance test#

Families can find a school, apply, pay and follow every application in the EDII app, without a trip to the school office. This chapter walks through the app screen by screen, shows how a child takes the online entrance test in the app or on admission.edii.in, and ends with what happens to the family's details.

At a glance#

Find a school in the EDII app#

Open Admissions without signing in#

Anyone can browse schools in the app. You do not need a school login or a code to look.

1. Open the EDII app. A phone with no school login opens on two tabs at the bottom: Sign in and Admissions.
2. Tap Admissions. The screen title is Admissions.
3. Browse the schools as a list or on a map.

The app asks for your mobile number only when you tap Apply, or when you tap Track your application.

• Pull down on the list to check again.

If your school is not in the list, it is not taking applications in the app today. Try the school's own admission link, send an enquiry, or contact the school.

The map, Near me and Directions#

The map shows the same schools as pins on a street map.

1. Tap Map. The map loads the first time. Going back to List keeps it.
2. Tap a pin to open its card. Tap the map again to close it.
3. On the card, tap Apply (or View school when no class is open) to open the school's page.
4. Tap Directions to open your phone's maps app with the school as the destination.

Pins. A dot is one school. A number means several schools sit close together. Tap it to see "3 schools here" (for example), then pick a school. All 3 schools here takes you back to the group.

Pin card. It shows the logo, the name, the city, the distance (after Near me), the open classes, Apply by and the date, and the buttons Directions and Apply.

Show everything. Tap the expand button (four arrows, above the Near me button) to fit every pin on the screen.

Near me. Tap the locate button to see the schools around you.

• Near me itself sends nothing to EDII. The map uses your position only on this phone.

Directions. An iPhone opens Apple Maps. Android phones open Google Maps directions.

A school's admission page in the app#

Tap a school to open its page. The title is Admission. Read it before you apply: it tells you the dates, fees, age rules and documents.

School card. The name, the address, and up to three buttons: Call, Email and Directions. Each shows only when the school has set it.

Facts card.

• "Admissions 2027-28", with "Open 1 Nov 2026 to 31 Mar 2027". When the school set only a closing date, it reads "Open Until 31 Mar 2027".
• Form fee is paid online: "You pay it in the app when you submit the application." This shows only when the school takes the form fee online.
• Admission office: the phone (+91) and email of the admission desk, with Call and Email.

From the school. The school's own instructions.

Classes. One card per class:

• The class name and a chip: Open, Opening soon (you can ask to be told when it opens) or Closed.
• "Form fee ₹500 · Admission fee ₹25,000". Each shows only when it is above zero.
• The age rule: "Born between 1 Apr 2022 and 31 Mar 2024", or "Born on or before 31 Mar 2024".
• Seats: "12 seats left", "1 seat left" or "All seats are taken". Nothing shows when the school set no seat limit.
• "Entrance test on 3 Nov 2026", or "This class has an entrance test" when no date is set yet.
• Documents needed (6): tap to unfold the list. Each row shows the document, "(optional)" where it applies, and the rule, for example "JPG, PNG or PDF, up to 5 MB".
• The button Apply for Class 1 for an open class, or Tell me when it opens (with a bell) for a class opening soon.

Ask the school a question#

When a school is not taking applications but takes enquiries, its page shows Ask the school. You do not need to sign in.

1. Fill in Your name, Mobile number (+91), Class (for example "Nursery or Class 6"), and if you like Email (optional) and Your question (optional).
2. Tap Send enquiry.
3. You see Enquiry sent: "The school will contact you on +91" and your number.

The school's admission team gets your enquiry and contacts you. EDII sends you no message for an enquiry. The app fills in your name from your admissions account, and an EDII parent's mobile number from the school app, when it has them.

Apply in the app#

Applying takes six short steps. Your answers save as you go, so you can stop and finish later.

Step 1: Sign in with the WhatsApp code#

You prove your mobile number once with a 6-digit code on WhatsApp. There is no password.

When you tap Apply for Class 1 without being signed in, the app opens Apply for admission: "Apply to a school". Under it: "Your child's details are shared only with the schools you apply to."

1. Type your number in Mobile number (the +91 is already there). You can paste "+91 98765 43210"; the app keeps the 10 digits.
2. Tap Send code. The code comes on WhatsApp.
3. You see "Code sent on WhatsApp to +91" and your number, partly hidden. Type the code in 6-digit code.
4. Tap Continue.
5. New to EDII Admissions only: the app shows Before you continue, with EDII's account consent text. Type your name in Parent or guardian's full name (2 to 80 characters), tick I am a parent or legal guardian and I agree., and tap Agree and continue. You do not need a new code.
6. You are signed in. The app takes you back to the class you chose, on Choose your child.

• Change goes back to the number and clears the code.
• Resend code appears after the countdown ("Resend code in 0:30").
• A family that already has an account signs in with the code alone. There is no consent step.
• You stay signed in on this phone for 30 days, renewed each time you use it.

The code follows the same rules as on the website: it works for 10 minutes, allows 3 wrong tries, and you can ask for a new one after 30 seconds, up to 5 an hour. See Sign-in with the WhatsApp code.

Step 2: Choose your child#

The title is Choose your child. The top card names the school, the class and the session ("Class 1 · 2027-28"), and the age rule: "Children born between 1 Apr 2022 and 31 Mar 2024 can apply."

1. Under Who is this application for?, pick a saved child. Each row shows the name and "Born 5 Apr 2021 · Female".
2. No saved child yet? The form Add a child opens by itself. Fill in First name, Last name, Date of birth and Gender (Male, Female or Other), then tap Save child. Use Add another child for more.
3. Tap Start application. The application form opens.

• A child outside the age range shows "Not in the age range for Class 1" and cannot be picked.
• Edit on a row changes that child's details.
• Your saved children stay on your account. You use them again for every school. You can save up to 10 children.

Step 3: Fill in the application form#

The title is Application form. You fill in one section at a time. The top card shows "Step 2 of 5 · Parents and guardian" and a progress bar.

1. Fill in the fields of the section.
2. Tap Next. The app checks the section and moves on.
3. On the last section, tap Continue to documents (or Review application when the class asks for no documents).

Every answer saves on its own. The line at the top says Saving…, then Saved. A field saves when you leave it, or as soon as you pick a choice or a date. "Your answers are saved as you go. You can finish later."

Usual sections. Each school sets its own form. The standard one has the sections Child details, Parents and guardian, Address, Previous school and Contact (the fields are listed in Tab 4: Application form).

• A star (*) marks a required field.
• The child's first name, date of birth, gender and Mobile number for updates are always needed.
• Mobile number for updates starts with the number you signed in with. Keep it. If you change it to another number, the reminders about an unsent form stop, and on WhatsApp the new number gets only the updates the school sends by its own action, such as a seat offer. You still follow the application with the number you signed in with.
• You need at least one of the father's, mother's or guardian's name.
• Dates open a calendar. The date of birth cannot be after today.
• The school's own help text shows under a field.
• The rule for each kind of answer is in Form field rules.

Step 4: Upload documents#

The title is Documents. The top card counts what is done: "1 of 2 required documents uploaded".

1. Tap Upload next to a document.
2. Choose Take a photo, Choose from gallery or Choose a file (PDF). The menu offers only what that document accepts.
3. Wait for "Preparing the file…", "Uploading… 45%" and "Checking the file…". The toast "Birth certificate uploaded." confirms it.
4. Tap Continue to review.

• View opens the file. Replace sends a new one.
• You may continue with documents missing: "You can continue now and upload the remaining document before you submit." Required documents must be in before you submit.
• When a document takes JPG, your phone saves the photo as a JPG before it is sent. This also removes the photo's location data.
• Each school sets its own list of documents per class. The usual ones are in Files and uploads.

Step 5: Review and submit#

The title is Review and submit. You see your whole form, section by section, and your documents.

1. Check every section. Tap Edit to change one. Its button then reads Save and review and brings you back.
2. Fix anything the red banner lists, for example "2 things to fix before you submit. Tap a highlighted detail to change it."
3. Read the Declaration. This is the school's own consent text.
4. Check your name in Parent or guardian's full name.
5. Tick I am the child's parent or legal guardian, the details above are correct, and I agree.
6. Tap Submit application, or Submit and pay ₹510 when the form fee is paid online.

When it is sent, you see Application sent: "Asha's application for Class 1 · 2027-28 has reached" the school, with the Application number. "Keep this number for your records. Every update from the school appears under My applications." Tap View application or Done.

• The Fee part shows the Application form fee, and "Paying online adds a convenience fee of ₹10." when the school adds one.
• Aadhaar shows only as XXXX-XXXX-1234 here.
• "After you submit, the details can only be changed by the school."

Step 6: Pay the form fee (only when the school asks)#

Some schools need the form fee before they accept an application. The app then opens the payment right after Submit and pay.

1. Check the amount. The screen shows the fee, any convenience fee, and the total: "You see the exact total, including any charges, before you pay."
2. Tap Pay ₹510.
3. Check Confirm payment ("Application form fee. Total payable: ₹510.00.") and tap Pay ₹510.00.
4. Pay in the Razorpay checkout, by UPI, card or net banking.
5. You see Payment received, with the Receipt number and Paid on. Your application goes to the school.

• "Payments are processed by Razorpay. EDII does not see or keep your card or UPI details."
• Closing the checkout shows "Payment cancelled." Tap Pay ₹510 again when you are ready.

Tell me when it opens#

A class marked Opening soon is not open yet. You can still register your interest.

1. On the school's page, tap Tell me when it opens.
2. Sign in if asked, and pick your child on Choose your child. The age rule still applies.
3. Tap Tell me when it opens. The toast says "The school will let you know when admission opens."

This sends the school an enquiry, not an application. It shows as Enquiry received in My applications. When the school opens the class, you can get the Admission open message by email, app notification or WhatsApp. When you then apply for that class, your enquiry becomes the application.

For parents already using EDII#

If your child already studies at an EDII school, you can apply for a brother or sister from the app you already use.

Where Admissions appears#

• Admissions tab in the bottom bar, next to Home, Learn, Progress, AI and Profile. It shows the same school list and map.
• Profile › Admissions: "Apply for a sibling and track applications". It opens My applications.
• Your applications card on Home: up to three active applications, seat offers first, with View all.
• A tap on an admission notification opens that application.

No second code, usually#

When you open Admissions with your school login, the app links your admissions account from your child's school record. You do not type a code and you see no consent step.

The app asks you to Confirm your number instead ("Admission updates go to the number you confirm here. You only need to do this once on this phone.") when:

• your child's school record has no valid 10-digit mobile number;
• the same number is on more than 6 children;
• you already made an admissions account with this number using the WhatsApp code;
• your child is at a learning-only EDII Learn school.

The app fills in your number. Tap Send code and follow Step 1.

Applying for a brother or sister#

1. Open Admissions and find the school.
2. Tap Apply for Class 1 (the button names the class).
3. On Choose your child, read the banner: "Applying for a brother or sister of Asha? Add them as a new child. Children already studying at an EDII school are not listed here."
4. Tap Add a child, fill in the new child's details and tap Save child.
5. Tap Start application.

Family details filled in for you. When the application starts, EDII fills in the family fields you left blank:

• first from your enrolled child's latest school record: the father's and mother's name, mobile, occupation and qualification, the annual income, the guardian's name, relation and mobile, the email, the alternate mobile, and the address with PIN code;
• then, for anything still blank, from your most recent earlier application.

The History of the application then says, for example, "Family details copied from the enrolled child's school record".

• Aadhaar and PAN are never copied. You type them yourself.
• Placeholder entries such as "NA" or "-" are not copied.
• Only fields on this school's form are filled. Nothing you typed is replaced.
• The record is used only while it still holds your number.
• The new child's own name, date of birth and gender come from Choose your child.

My applications and the application page#

Your admissions home#

• Parents with a school login: My applications is your admissions home. Open it from Profile › Admissions, from the Home card's View all, or from the My applications row on the Admissions tab.
• Families who signed in with the WhatsApp code: the Admissions tab shows My applications at the top. It opens your admissions home, titled Admissions:

  • Your applications: the three most recently updated, with View all when you have more.
  • Menu: My applications, Schools open for admission and Turn on notifications ("Know when a school updates your application").

My applications#

The title is My applications. It lists every application of your family, at every school.

• In progress: Enquiry received, Not submitted yet, Application received, Under review, Seat offered, Waitlisted. Seat offers come first.
• Past applications: Admitted, Not selected, Withdrawn.

Each row shows the school, "Asha · Class 1 · 2027-28", the stage, the next step, and for an unanswered offer "Reply by 29 Oct, 11:59 PM". What each stage means is in Stages.

Under More: Apply to a school and My admissions account ("Children, sign out, delete account").

The application page in the app#

Tap an application to open it. The title is Application. The cards appear in this order. Each card shows only when it applies.

Summary. The school, the child, "Class 1 · Session 2027-28", the stage and "No. APP-2027-28-0001". A short note may follow, for example "The school is waiting for documents from you." or "The entrance test is scheduled."

Next step. A banner says "Next step:" and what to do, with one button.

When there is nothing to do, you see a plain line instead, such as "No action needed now", "The school will contact you" or "The school will confirm the admission".

Admitted. Once the school admits your child: "Admission confirmed in section B on 5 Apr 2027. The school will share the next steps with you."

Finish your application (forms not yet sent). Three rows: Application form, Documents and Review and submit.

Apply (an enquiry, for example after Tell me when it opens). The row School admission page ("See open classes and apply") opens the school's page, so you can apply once the class is open.

Seat offer. "A seat is offered in Class 1", with "Respond by 29 Oct 2026, 11:59 PM".

1. Tap Accept seat. The pop-up Accept this seat? says who gets the seat, and whether you pay the admission fee next. Add a Message to the school (optional) if you like, then tap Accept seat.
2. Or tap Decline. Decline this seat? warns: "The school may offer the seat to another child. This cannot be undone." Write a reason in Why are you declining? (required), then tap Decline seat.

Admission fee. After you accept, and only if the school collects it in the app: "Pay online to confirm the seat", with Pay ₹25,500. It works like the form fee. When the school does not collect it in the app, you see "Please pay the admission fee at the school".

Interaction. The date and time, the mode and place (for example "Interview · Main building") and the school's note.

Entrance test. See Take the entrance test.

Merit list position. "Published by the school", with your child's rank only, for example "#4". It shows only after the school publishes its merit list.

Documents (after you submit). Each document with its status: "Checked by the school", "Uploaded", "Not accepted by the school", "The school asked for this", "The school asked for this again", "Required, not uploaded" or "Optional, not uploaded". The school's remark shows in quotes. After you submit, you can upload only what the school asks for, until the school checks it.

History. Every update from the school, newest first, with the date and time.

Payments. Each fee paid: Application form fee or Admission fee, the receipt number, how it was paid ("Paid online", "Paid in cash", "Paid by UPI", "Paid by cheque", "Waived by the school"), the date and the amount.

Application details. See what you sent unfolds the whole form you submitted.

Need a change?

• Ask the school to correct details ("Tell the school what is wrong"). You cannot edit a sent form. Type what is wrong in What should be corrected? (required) and tap Send to school. The school makes the change. You can have one request open at a time.
• Withdraw this application. You must give a reason in Why are you withdrawing? (required). "To apply again you would start a new application. This cannot be undone." A seat offer is declined instead.
• Give up this seat, after you have accepted, while the school still allows it. Write why in Why are you declining? (required) and tap Decline seat.

The school chooses which messages reach you, and by which channel. Every message you may get is listed in Messages families get. EDII sends no message when you accept, decline or withdraw, or when you ask for a correction. The app shows the change straight away.

Take the entrance test#

Some schools ask children to take a short online test before they decide. Your child takes it on a phone or a computer, in the EDII app or on admission.edii.in. Both work the same way.

How you will know#

1. The school's page shows the test for the class: "Entrance test on 3 Nov 2026".
2. After you apply, the school schedules the test for your child.
3. You get Entrance test scheduled by email and app notification, never by WhatsApp. It says when to take it, the time window and how long it takes: "Take it in the EDII app or on admission.edii.in."
4. Your application now shows "Entrance test on 05-Nov-2026" as the next step, and an Entrance test card.

The Entrance test card#

The card sits on the application page. It follows EDII's clock, not your phone's clock, and updates every 30 seconds while the page is open.

In the EDII app:

On admission.edii.in (the school's tracking page, after you sign in):

There is no card when the class has no test, when the school excused your child from it, or when the school cancelled it.

admission.edii.in/yourschool/track

The hall ticket#

The hall ticket has everything your child needs on the day.

In the app, tap Hall ticket on the card, on the waiting screen or on the instructions screen. A sheet opens with:

• Child, Application number, Class, School, Date and time, Duration;
• Where: "In the EDII app or on admission.edii.in";
• "Open the application and press Take the entrance test when the test opens.";
• the link to the school's admission page on admission.edii.in, and a Share button to send it, for example to a family member's phone.

The app's hall ticket is not printed. Share it, or print it from the website.

On admission.edii.in, tap Hall ticket (and Hide the hall ticket to close it). It shows Child's name, Application number, Class, Test date, Test window, Duration, Where ("Online, in the EDII app or on the admissions website") and Link, with four notes:

• "Take the test on a phone or computer with a working internet connection."
• "Open the link or the EDII app, sign in with the mobile number of the application, and press "Take the entrance test" when the test opens."
• "The timer starts when you press Start and does not stop, even if the connection drops. Your answers are saved as you go."
• "Finish the test before the test window closes."

Tap Print the hall ticket to print it on its own page. The website shows the hall ticket before the test only, once the school has set both ends of the window. The school can also print an A4 hall ticket for you.

admission.edii.in/yourschool/track

When the test opens and closes#

• The school sets a test window: a start and an end, at most 31 days apart. All times are India time, whatever the phone's time zone.
• Your child can start any time inside the window.
• Once started, the test runs for its duration, for example 45 minutes.
• The test ends at whichever comes first: the duration, or the end of the window.

• Before the window: the app shows "The test opens on 3 Nov 2026, 10:00 AM." and "Come back to this page when the test opens." If this page is open and the test opens within the next 6 hours, the page reloads by itself at the opening time. Otherwise, come back and pull down to refresh. On the website, Start the test switches on by itself.
• After the window, not started: "The test window ended before the test was taken. Please contact the school." EDII sends no message about this. The school decides what happens next, and can set a new window.

Open the test#

In the EDII app:

1. Open My applications and tap the application.
2. Tap Take the entrance test, in the Next step banner or on the Entrance test card.

On admission.edii.in:

1. Open the school's page on admission.edii.in and tap Track my application, or open the link on the hall ticket.
2. Sign in with the mobile number of the application and the WhatsApp code.
3. Open the application and tap Take the entrance test.

If you open the test page itself while signed out, you see "Sign in with your mobile number to take the entrance test." After you sign in, you go straight back to the test.

Read the instructions, then start#

The test page first shows the instructions. The timer does not start yet.

In the EDII app you see the paper's name, "Open until" and the closing time, the duration ("The timer starts when you press Start"), the number of questions and marks, From the school (the school's instructions), and Before you start:

• "Choose one answer for each question. For a blank, type the missing word."
• "Every answer is saved as you give it."
• "The time keeps running even if you leave the app. Stay in the app until you submit."
• "If the internet drops, keep answering. Your answers are saved when you are back online."
• "When the time is over, your saved answers are submitted."

Tap Start the test. It is greyed out while the phone is offline.

On admission.edii.in you see Entrance test, "For Asha, Class 1" and the school, the facts Test, Duration, Questions, Total marks and Test window, Instructions from the school, and Before you start:

• "There is one question on each screen. Use Next and Previous, or tap a question number, to move around."
• "Your answers are saved as you go. If the internet stops, keep going: they are saved when it is back."
• "The timer keeps running once you start, even if you close this page. Open the test again to continue."
• "Mark a question "Answer later" to come back to it before you submit."
• "When the time is over, your answers are submitted on their own."
• "Please stay on this page during the test. Switching to other apps or tabs is noted for the school."

Tap Start the test. The page switches to full screen where the browser allows it. If it cannot, the test still runs. Leaving full screen is noted for the school.

admission.edii.in/yourschool/test

One question per screen#

Each screen shows one question: "Question 3 of 20", its marks ("1 mark", "2 marks") and, when the paper has sections, the section name. A question may have a picture.

Ways to answer:

• Choose one option, lettered A, B, C. In the app, tap a chosen option again to clear it.
• True or False.
• Fill in the blanks: one box per blank (Blank 1 to Blank 3; on the website a single blank is labelled Your answer). Up to 100 characters each.

Moving around:

• Previous and Next move one question at a time.
• Answer later marks a question to come back to. It then reads Marked for later in the app. Tap it again to remove the mark.
• Clear answer removes your answer.
• The question grid shows every question. Tap a number to jump to it. In the app, tap All questions to open it (Hide closes it); the key is Answered, For later and Not answered. On the website it is the Questions panel; the key is Answered, Answer later and Not answered.
• In the app, the test opens on the first question not yet answered.

The timer sits at the top, for example "45:00". In the app it changes colour at 5 minutes left. On the website it turns amber in the last 5 minutes and red in the last minute.

admission.edii.in/yourschool/test

Your answers are saved as you go#

You never press a Save button. A choice saves at once. A typed answer saves a moment after you stop typing.

A failed save is tried again after 2 seconds, then 5 seconds, then every 15 seconds, and at once when the connection returns.

If the internet drops#

Keep answering. Your answers wait on the phone and are sent when the connection is back.

• App: "You are offline. Your answers will be saved when you are back online."
• Website: "Offline. Your answers will be saved when the connection is back. You can keep answering."
• App, when a save failed: "Your latest answers are not saved yet. Trying again."

You need the internet to start the test. In the app, the test page says "You are offline. Connect to the internet to take the test."

The clock keeps running#

Once you press Start the test, the timer runs on EDII's clock. Nothing pauses it: not leaving the app, not closing the page, not losing the connection.

• To come back, open the application again and tap Continue the test. The test opens with every saved answer.
• Leaving from inside the test asks first: Leave the test? "Your saved answers stay and the time keeps running." Tap Stay (website: Stay in the test) or Leave. In the app, Leave sends any answers not yet saved first.
• On another phone or computer, you can continue the same test. The first screen then stops saving:
  • App: "This test was continued on another device. Reloading."
  • Website: "This test was continued in another window or on another device, so answers given here are not saved. Open it again to carry on with the saved answers." Tap Open the test again.
• Answer later marks stay only on the phone or browser tab where you made them.

Submit the test#

1. Tap Submit test in the app, or Submit (top bar) or Submit the test (last question) on the website.
2. Read the check. In the app: "You answered 18 of 20 questions. 2 questions are not answered. You cannot change your answers after you submit." On the website it also counts the questions marked to answer later.
3. Tap Submit, or Keep answering to go back.

Answers not yet saved are saved first, then the test is submitted. You can submit only once.

When the time is over#

• At 00:00 the test submits by itself, without asking. An open Submit the test? box closes.
• The app shows Time is over: "Your saved answers are being submitted." Tap Check again if it stays.
• If your child closed the app or the page, EDII submits the saved answers shortly after the time ends.
• The result screen then starts with "Time is over, your answers were submitted."

The result#

The school chooses what families see after the test. Answers are marked straight away.

• App wording: the headline, then "Score 18 out of 20 (90%)" when the school shows scores, and "Submitted on" the date and time. With a Qualified or Not qualified result it adds "The school will tell you the next step." Tap Back to the application.
• Website wording: "Result: Qualified" (or "Result: Not qualified"), or "Score 18 out of 20." with "Percentage: 90%". Then "Submitted on" and Back to the application.
• The same result shows on the Entrance test card, and the summary note reads "The entrance test is done. The school will share the result."
• You get Entrance test result by email and app notification, unless the school shows nothing.
• Families never see the answers or the correct answers.

admission.edii.in/yourschool/test

If something goes wrong in the test#

Your account and privacy#

What the school sees, and what it does not#

Each application goes only to the school you send it to. Other schools never see it.

The school sees what you send it:

• the form, the documents and the declaration, with your name and the time you agreed;
• the payments and receipts for its own fees;
• the entrance test answers and score, and a record of when the test screen was left, full screen was left or the connection dropped.

The school does not see:

• your card or UPI details. "Payments are processed by Razorpay. EDII does not see or keep your card or UPI details."
• your location from Near me. Near me keeps it on your phone. (For parents signed in to the school app, see the note under The map, Near me and Directions.)

Families do not see what the school keeps for its staff: staff notes and follow-ups, who handles the application and its priority, the message log, interview scores and remarks, merit points, the waitlist position, the reason for Not selected or Withdrawn, the reason a child was excused from the test, and the test score when the school does not show it. Once the school publishes its merit list, each family sees only their own child's position.

The school's declaration, which you accept at submit, explains who is responsible. The standard text is shown in Tab 8: Consent. A school can replace this text with its own. When it does, you see the school's text.

Aadhaar is masked#

• On the standard form, Aadhaar is optional. A school can make it required on its own form.
• Once saved, the app shows it only as XXXX-XXXX-1234: on the form, on Review and submit, and in See what you sent.
• On the form, the box stays empty with "On file" and "Saved as XXXX-XXXX-1234. Type the full number only to change it." Leave it empty to keep the saved number.
• Aadhaar and PAN are never copied into a brother's or sister's application, or into any new application.

Your account in the app#

Open My applications › My admissions account, or tap your name on the admissions home. The title is My account.

• Your details: your mobile number (partly hidden), how you signed in ("Linked to your school app login" or "Signed in with a WhatsApp code"), your name and your email when set.
• Children at EDII schools ("From your school app"): your enrolled children, for EDII parents.
• Saved children, with Add. Tap a child to edit. "Save a child's details once and use them for every application."
• Sign out and Delete my account.

The mobile number, name and email cannot be changed in the app.

Sign out#

Tap Sign out (Sign out of admissions for EDII parents) and confirm.

• WhatsApp sign-in: "You can sign in again with your mobile number at any time. Your applications stay as they are."
• EDII parents: "You stay signed in to the school app. Opening Admissions again signs you back in."

Signing out of admissions never signs you out of the school app.

Delete your admissions account#

1. Open My account (or the admissions home) and tap Delete my account.
2. Read Delete your admissions account?: "Your sign-in, saved children and contact details will be removed from EDII. Applications you have already sent stay with those schools; contact a school to withdraw one. This cannot be undone."
3. Tap Delete account. You see "Your admissions account has been deleted."

On admission.edii.in, use Account › Delete my account.

Stages#

Every application and enquiry is in exactly one stage. Staff and families use different words for some stages, so this table puts them side by side. On the website the family also sees one plain sentence under the stage; it is quoted here. In the EDII app, My applications lists Enquiry received, Not submitted yet, Application received, Under review, Seat offered and Waitlisted under In progress, and Admitted, Not selected and Withdrawn under Past applications.

Status details#

A short detail line sits beside or under the stage. Staff and families see nearly the same words. Staff see them on the Pipeline, on the application and in the report column Status detail.

You may also see "New", "Contacted", "Interested", "Visited" or "Negotiation" on enquiries brought over from the older Leads page. Nothing in Admissions sets these.

Messages#

Families hear from you automatically at each important step. You choose which of these messages go out, and on which channel, on Admissions › Settings › Messages & staff (see Tab 7: Messages & staff).

Messages families get#

• For a new school, every row starts ticked on every channel it can use. The Class opened row starts off when your settings were first saved before this row existed.
• You can switch each row off, channel by channel. The one Reminders row covers all four reminder and expiry messages.
• The two entrance test rows show in Settings only while the entrance test is on.
• Message from the school: a message staff send with Send message goes when they press Send, whatever is ticked in Settings. On WhatsApp it can only be the standard stage update; by email or app notification it carries your own words.
• Reminders and expiry messages go only while online admission is switched on for the session (see Tab 5: Selection).

How each channel reaches the family#

• Email goes only when the application has an email address. It is sent in your school's name. Most emails have a View application button that opens the family's tracking page. The Admission open email has Continue the application instead, and the Admission confirmed email has no button.
• App notification reaches families who use the EDII app and have signed in to it for this application.
• WhatsApp comes in the school's name and can only carry EDII's standard admission wording. Admission confirmed, Fee received and the entrance test messages never go by WhatsApp.

A WhatsApp message goes only when all of these hold:

• WhatsApp is switched on for your school. If it is not, Settings says "WhatsApp messages are not switched on for your school, so no WhatsApp message is sent even where it is ticked." Contact EDII to switch it on.
• The application has the child's first name.
• Mobile number for updates is a valid 10-digit mobile number.
• The family verified that number with the WhatsApp code, or your school entered the application, or a staff action caused the message (for example offering a seat or asking for documents). "Updates triggered by staff use the contact mobile number saved on the application. Other automatic WhatsApp messages need a number verified by the family or an application entered by your school."

So seat-offer reminders, expiry notices and Class opened go by WhatsApp only to numbers the family verified or your school entered. Email and the app still go. The "form not submitted" reminders are stricter: they go only when the family verified the number, and then on every ticked channel.

What the messages say#

The heading is both the email heading and the app notification title. <child> is the child's full name.

When you add a note while asking for documents, scheduling an interaction, offering a seat or scheduling the test, the email adds "Message from the school: " and the app notification ends with it.

When no message is sent#

No message goes to the family when:

• the family sends an enquiry, or staff record an enquiry at the office;
• you move an application to Under review;
• you withdraw or re-open an application;
• the family accepts, declines or withdraws;
• a correction is asked for, or you close it with Correction done (your note shows on the tracking page as "Update from the school");
• a document is verified or not accepted (only Ask again sends "Documents requested");
• you record an interaction result or merit points;
• you publish the merit list;
• you waive a fee;
• a test is marked absent, exempted, reset, or marked again after an answer key correction;
• the test window ends before the child starts.

Tell the family yourself when it matters. The tracking page and the app show each change straight away.

What your staff receive#

Everyone in Staff to notify (up to 20 people) gets an app notification and, when you give their Email for summaries, an email. You cannot switch these off, except by removing the person.

Staff to notify are also told when a payment arrives for an application that was already withdrawn, so that someone refunds it or re-opens the application. The daily and weekly summaries run only while online admission is switched on for the session.

Limits and timings#

These are the fixed rules behind the screens. All times are India time (IST).

Dates and deadlines#

Reminders, automatic withdrawals and summaries run only while online admission is on for the session, and leave out applications from the earlier admission register and applications entered before online admission was first switched on for the session.

Sign-in with the WhatsApp code#

Limits families may meet#

These limits keep the website and the app safe and fair. Most reset after an hour or the next day.

FAQ#

FAQ for schools#

Families say they cannot find our school online. What should we check?#

Look at the line under the Admissions heading. It must be green: "Taking online applications for until ." Families can apply only when online admission is on, the channel they use (Admission website or Parent app) is on, today is inside your dates, and at least one class is Taking applications. On the website, families can search by school name, school code or city. See Go live: switch online admission on.

Can we accept applications at the office while online admission is off?#

Yes. Admissions › New applicant always records enquiries. Full applications at the office need Walk-in applications switched on in Admissions › Settings › Online admission. That switch does not affect families applying online.

How do we open next year without disturbing this year?#

Pick next year in Admission session at the top of any Admissions page. Settings, applications and numbers belong to that session only. If you choose the school's running session, the Online admission tab reminds you to choose next year first.

A family applied twice. What happens?#

A family cannot start a second application for the same child at your school in the same session; they are sent to the one they started. When staff enter an applicant, Admissions shows "This applicant may already be entered" with the matches. To save anyway, give a reason and press Save as a new application. See The duplicate warning.

A family found a mistake after submitting. Can they fix it?#

Families cannot change a submitted form. They press Ask for a correction and tell you what is wrong. You see the banner "The family asked for a correction on ." Make the change on the Profile tab (or ask for a new document), then press Correction done. Your note shows to the family as "Update from the school". See Handle a correction request.

Can we give a family more time to accept a seat?#

There is no way to change the end date of an offer that is already made. To give more time: Withdraw the application, Re-open it, then use Offer seat with a new Family must accept by date. The family gets a new "Seat offered" message. They do not get a second offer reminder.

Do we have to wait for the family to accept before we admit?#

Admissions lets you admit any application at Offered. It does not check that the offer was accepted, the fees are paid or the documents are verified. Check these yourself on the application before you press Admit. See Before you admit.

Why does Admit say it needs the father's name?#

The student record needs the father's name, even though the application form accepts a mother's or guardian's name instead. Add the father's name on the Profile tab, press Save changes, then press Admit again.

Do admission fees show in our fee collection reports?#

No. Form fees and admission fees collected in Admissions show only in the Admissions dashboard, report and receipts. They are not part of the school's fee collection, day book or ledger reports.

How does a family pay if we do not take payments online?#

They pay at the school. Open the application, go to Fee & receipts, press Record payment, choose Cash, UPI or Cheque, and save. A receipt number is given. You can then press Print receipt. See Collect and record fees.

A family paid less than the fee online. What now?#

The payment is held and the fee stays unpaid. The Fee & receipts tab says "Held: ₹ paid online on , less than the ₹ due". Collect the balance and record it with Record payment. The fee is then marked paid and the receipt shows both parts.

Can we send our own WhatsApp text to a family?#

No. WhatsApp can only carry the standard admission update, which tells the family the current stage. To write your own words, use Send message and choose Email or App notification.

Who is told when a new application comes in?#

Everyone in Staff to notify gets "New admission application" as an app notification, and as an email when you gave their Email for summaries. They also get the daily "Admissions today" summary at 9:00 AM and the Monday "Admissions this week" summary.

Families who asked to be told when a class opens did not get the "Admission open" message. Why?#

The message goes only when you save a class that was Notify me only as Taking applications, while online admission is on and today is inside your dates. It goes once, only to families who signed in and pressed Notify me when applications open on the website or Tell me when it opens in the app. Families who used the plain enquiry form, and enquiries your staff entered, are not told. If you opened the class before your opening date, nobody is told later, so call them. Also check that the Class opened row is ticked.

Can we offer more seats than the class has?#

Yes. Seats never block an offer. After the offer you see a warning such as "Class now has offers and admissions for seats". Families see seats left as the seats minus the seats offered and admitted.

Does the age rule stop our staff too?#

No. Families cannot apply online for a child outside the age range. Staff only see a warning on New applicant, such as "Outside the age rule for : … You can still save it." Admit does not check age.

Can a staff member who works on leads use Admissions?#

A role with Lead access but no Admission access works on enquiries only. It can enter, assign, follow up and message enquiries, and mark them as applied. It cannot open settings, offer seats, record fees, admit or use the entrance test. See Enquiry-only access (Lead).

What do families see of our notes and scores?#

Nothing. Families never see staff assignment, priority, follow-ups, notes, the message log, interview scores and remarks, merit points, the waitlist position, or the reason for Not selected or Withdrawn. Once you publish the merit list, each family sees only their own child's position.

What happens to an application when a family deletes their account?#

Submitted applications stay with you unchanged. Unfinished forms are withdrawn quietly, with no message. Enquiries stay with you, no longer linked to the family.

Do the interview instructions in Settings reach families?#

Not today. The Instructions sent to families box on Admissions › Settings › Selection, which the schedule dialog shows as "School instructions sent with it", is saved but is not added to the message or shown to families. Put what families need, such as what to bring and when to arrive, in Note for the family (optional) each time you schedule.

FAQ for parents#

Do I need a password?#

No. You sign in with your mobile number. EDII sends a 6-digit code (OTP) to that number on WhatsApp. If you already use the EDII app for a child at an EDII school, the app usually signs you in to Admissions without a code.

The code did not arrive. What can I do?#

Check that the number has WhatsApp and is typed correctly. Wait 30 seconds, then press Resend OTP on the website or Resend code in the app. You can ask for up to 5 codes an hour. The code always comes on WhatsApp, never by SMS.

Why am I asked for my name and a tick the first time?#

The first time a number is used, you create an admissions account. Enter your name, read the text, tick the box and press Verify and continue again with the same code (in the app, Agree and continue).

Can I fill the form now and finish later?#

Yes. Your answers are saved as you go. Come back with the same mobile number and press Continue. Finish before the school's time limit: an unfinished form is closed after 30 days unless the school set another number of days. You may get reminders after 2 days and after 7 days.

Which documents do I need?#

Each class lists its documents on the school's page under "Documents needed". Most schools ask for the child's photo and birth certificate, and may ask for an Aadhaar card, address proof, the last report card or a transfer certificate. Clear phone photos are fine. The child's photo is turned into a JPG for you.

I made a mistake after submitting. How do I fix it?#

You cannot change the form after you submit it. Open the application and choose Ask for a correction (website) or Ask the school to correct details (app). Say what is wrong and what it should be. The school makes the change.

How do I know what is happening with my application?#

Open Track my application on the school's page, or My applications in the app. Each application shows its stage, the next step and a history of every update. The school also sends you messages by WhatsApp, email or app notification.

How long do I have to accept a seat?#

The seat offer shows the last date, for example "Reply by ", and a countdown. The offer ends at 11:59 PM on that day. If you do not reply in time, the seat may be offered to another child.

When do I pay the admission fee?#

Only after you accept the seat. If the school takes it online, you see Pay the admission fee on your application. Otherwise you see "Please pay the admission fee at the school".

I paid, but the application still shows the fee as not paid. Should I pay again?#

No, please do not pay again. Payments can take a few minutes to confirm. Press Check again after a few minutes. A payment that went through is recorded automatically, usually within half an hour. Keep the Payment ID shown on the screen.

Why is the amount I pay online more than the fee?#

Some schools add a small convenience charge to online payments. The pay screen shows the fee and the charge separately before you pay.

I applied at the school office. Can I see it online?#

Yes. Sign in with the mobile number you gave the school. Applications the school entered under that number appear in your list of applications. Its history starts with "Added by the school", and shows "Added to your account" from the moment it joined your account, on the website and in the app. If you do not see it, please contact the school.

Can I apply for two children, or to two schools?#

Yes. Add each child once (up to 10). Each child can have one application per school for each session. Every application, at every school, shows in one list.

My child already studies at an EDII school. How do I apply for a brother or sister?#

Open Admissions in the EDII app, or Profile › Admissions. Add the brother or sister as a new child. The family details on the form are filled in from your enrolled child's school record. Check them before you submit. See For parents already using EDII.

The site says my child is not eligible. What does that mean?#

Each class has an age rule, shown as a date-of-birth range, for example "Born between 1 Apr 2022 and 31 Mar 2024". Check that the date of birth matches the birth certificate. If it does and you still want the school to consider your child, please contact the school.

Do I have to give my Aadhaar number?#

On the standard form Aadhaar is optional, though a school may ask for it. Once saved, Aadhaar numbers are shown to you masked, like XXXX-XXXX-1234. They are never copied into a new application.

How do I take the entrance test?#

When the school schedules it, the school usually tells you by email and app notification, with the date and time. The test also shows on your application. Open your application and press Take the entrance test when the window opens, then Start the test. The timer starts when you press Start and keeps running even if you close the page. Answers save as you go, and the test is submitted on its own when time is over. See Take the entrance test.

The internet dropped during the test. Have I lost my answers?#

No. Keep answering; your answers are saved when the connection is back. The timer keeps running all the time. If you closed the page, open the test again straight away with Continue the test.

Will I see my child's answers or marks?#

You never see the answers or the answer key. Depending on the school, you see "Qualified" or "Not qualified", the score, or "Submitted. The school will inform you."

What does "Notify me" do?#

For a class that is not open yet, Notify me when applications open on the website (or Notify me for and the class name on the school's page), or Tell me when it opens in the app, tells the school you are interested. When the school opens the class, you get an "Admission open" message, and you can continue the application.

How do I withdraw or decline?#

To decline a seat offer, press Decline on the seat offer and give a reason. To stop any other application, choose Withdraw this application. You cannot undo either.

What happens if I delete my admissions account?#

Your sign-in, saved children and contact details are removed. Forms you have not submitted are withdrawn. Applications you already submitted stay with the schools; contact a school to withdraw one. If you also use the EDII app for a school, that school login is not affected. See Delete your admissions account.

Troubleshooting#

Find the symptom, then work down the checks.
