Four portals, four formats, one student. SchoolDeck collapses them into one.

A Bihar Board school principal is not running one workflow. They are running several at once: the BSEB academic cycle for Matric (Class 10) and Intermediate (Class 12); the annual Class 9 and Class 11 BSEB registration via biharboardexam.com; the Medhasoft scheme uploads for Cycle Yojana, Poshak Yojana and Protsahan Yojana; the OFSS Class 11 admission file; the Pre-Matric Scholarship export to the Social Welfare Department; UDISE+; and underneath all of that, the day-to-day life of fees, attendance and parent communication.

Each portal speaks its own Excel dialect. Medhasoft expects mother's bank account in a specific column. OFSS expects a specific student photo dimension. biharboardexam.com expects the school's BSEB code in the right place. A clerk reformatting manually invariably hits validation errors and reuploads — three times, sometimes more — before the file is accepted. For schools with 600–1,200 students, this is several weeks a year that should have gone to teaching.

SchoolDeck's design principle for the Bihar edition is simple: one record per child, captured once at admission, every downstream report generated from that one record. Aadhaar collected once. Bank IFSC collected once. Caste category captured once. Block of residence captured once. The same student record then produces the Medhasoft Cycle Yojana export, the Poshak Yojana export, the biharboardexam.com registration, the OFSS admission file, the Pre-Matric Scholarship list and the bilingual TC — without re-typing.

The Medhasoft portal at medhasoft.bih.nic.in is the Bihar Education Department's centralised platform for direct benefit transfer to students. Each scheme has its own upload window and its own Excel template. The Mukhyamantri Balak/Balika Cycle Yojana — which provides ₹3,000 to every Class 9 student to purchase a bicycle — requires the student's name, parent's name, mother's bank account number, IFSC, Aadhaar, and the school's UDISE code. The Mukhyamantri Poshak Yojana — the uniform allowance, currently ₹600 for Class 1–2 scaling to ₹1,500 for Class 9–12 — uses a related but slightly different template.

SchoolDeck keeps the per-scheme template versioned inside the export module. When the Education Department updates the column order or adds a new mandatory field, the export adapts. The school clerk opens Reports → Government Exports → Medhasoft Bihar, picks the scheme, downloads the Excel, uploads it to Medhasoft, and pastes the acknowledgement back into SchoolDeck for the audit trail. What used to be a fortnight of manual cross-checking becomes an afternoon.

The Dakhil Kharij register — Bihar's equivalent of the General Register — is the legal record of every child who ever attended the school. It permanently captures the admission date, parent names, caste, religion, mother tongue, place of birth and the reason for withdrawal. A duplicate Transfer Certificate, a passport application, a job verification — every one of these requires the school to retrieve the original Dakhil Kharij entry. In a state where the Kosi, the Bagmati and the Gandak flood predictably, a paper register is not a safe place to keep twenty years of student history.

SchoolDeck digitises the Dakhil Kharij completely. On admission the system assigns the next sequential permanent register number automatically. The demographic record is stored encrypted in the cloud with a tamper-proof audit log of every edit. A clerk in Saharsa retrieving a 2011 admission record types a name and presses search — no climbing through a soaked storeroom rack of paper books.

BSEB Matric (Class 10) and Intermediate (Class 12) use a First/Second/Third Division grade pattern — First Division 60% and above, Second Division 45–59%, Third Division 33–44%, with Distinction declared at 75% or higher. SchoolDeck's examinations module records FA and SA internal marks through the year, and the final BSEB result rolls up into the Division pattern as soon as the board declares results.

For schools admitting Class 11 students, the BSEB OFSS portal at ofssbihar.net is the centralised intermediate admission system. SchoolDeck exports the Class 10 graduate's profile in the OFSS-required format, so the student is not retyping the same name, Aadhaar, mobile, and marksheet data that the school already has in its database. For Class 9 and Class 11 BSEB registration, the same pattern applies through biharboardexam.com.

This page owns the BSEB buyer workflow specifically. The siblings own distinct workflows: the Uttar Pradesh edition owns UPMSP High School + Intermediate, the pariksha.up.nic.in portal and the UP-specific welfare schemes. The West Bengal edition owns WBBSE (Madhyamik) + WBCHSE (Higher Secondary), the Banglar Shiksha portal and the festival-heavy Bengal holiday calendar. The Madhya Pradesh edition owns MPBSE Class 10 + 12 and the MP Education Portal. And the CBSE edition owns the national CCE report card, Sahodaya format and NEP 2020 HPC. Each edition is configured for the paperwork that administrator actually files. They do not cannibalise each other.
