The 52-second Transfer Certificate
Take a real case. Harkirat Kaur, Class 8, Punjabi medium, 2025–26 session, is moving from a PSEB school in Ludhiana to her grandparents' town in Bathinda. Her father asks for the Transfer Certificate at the office counter. Here is what the clerk does.
Clerk searches Harkirat Kaur by admission number. The record opens with every field already mapped to the ePunjab School data structure — no re-typing.
Clerk picks the PSEB Transfer Certificate template. Name, class last attended, date of leaving, conduct and date of birth fill in automatically — in Gurmukhi and English, side by side.
The name prints as ਹਰਕੀਰਤ ਕੌਰ — the conjunct in "ਕ੍ਰ" and the addak in middle-name spellings render correctly, not as broken boxes. This is the detail clerks lose hours fixing in Word.
Clerk verifies the spelling, prints the signed PDF, and the same action posts the leaving entry to the admission-withdrawal register. The seat is now free in the RTE and general counts.
Before SchoolDeck
The same TC meant opening a Word file from last year, retyping Harkirat's name in a Gurmukhi font that half the office computers couldn't display, watching the conjuncts collapse on the principal's machine, and hand-updating the register afterwards. A fifteen-minute job that families waited on for two visits.
Built for PSEB realities
Names rendered in legacy Punjabi fonts collapse the moment a certificate moves between machines. SchoolDeck uses Unicode Gurmukhi everywhere, so the addak and conjuncts print the same on every computer and PDF.
Staff retype the same student, attendance and infrastructure data into the ePunjab portal every month. SchoolDeck holds that data in matching fields, so the export-and-update job stops being a full week's work.
The Section 12(1)(c) reserved-seat list, reimbursement claims and supporting documents scatter across files. SchoolDeck keeps one ledger that reconciles admitted students against the 25% obligation, ready when the inspection comes.
Chasing instalments over WhatsApp and pen-marked registers loses receipts and goodwill. UPI collection with Punjabi SMS receipts, automatic defaulter lists and concession tracking puts the fee book in order without the daily phone calls.
The Punjab regulatory map
No generic "compliance" claims — these are the named bodies, portals and Acts the Punjab edition actually maps to.
Punjab School Education Board, Vidya Bhawan, Phase-8, SAS Nagar (Mohali) — the affiliating and examining body for Class 5, 8, 10 and 12.
Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation grading at the primary and middle stages; full marks-based results at matriculation and senior secondary.
epunjabschool.gov.in — the Department of School Education MIS for student, staff, attendance, infrastructure and mid-day-meal data. SchoolDeck fields map to it.
The 25% reserved-seat obligation for disadvantaged and weaker-section children, as implemented by PSEB — tracked with reimbursement claims in one ledger.
Certificates print in standards-based Gurmukhi so conjuncts, the addak and the tippi render identically on every device — no legacy-font breakage.
Eligibility lists, beneficiary records and disbursement reconciliation for state and central scholarship schemes that Punjab students draw on.

"The first thing I checked was whether my students' names would print right in Punjabi. They did — every certificate, every machine. The ePunjab month-end stopped eating my Saturdays after that."
This edition is for any school affiliated to the Punjab School Education Board — government-aided, private unaided or trust-run — that does its examination, certificate and reporting work under PSEB and submits data through the ePunjab School portal. If your school sits for the PSEB Class 10 matriculation or Class 12 senior secondary examinations and issues Punjabi-medium certificates, this is the configuration to run. Schools affiliated to CBSE or ICSE instead should use those editions; the workflows are deliberately separate so you are never carrying fields you don't need.
PSEB conducts board-graded examinations at Class 5, 8, 10 and 12 — not only the matriculation and senior secondary stages. SchoolDeck records all four. At the primary and middle levels it captures grades under the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation model PSEB uses, and at Class 10 and 12 it handles full marks-based results, subject combinations and the registration data the board needs. Internal assessments, term marks and board results live in one student profile, so a report card is a print action, not a re-collection exercise.
The single most common failure in Punjab school offices is a Gurmukhi name that looks fine on one screen and breaks into boxes on the next. SchoolDeck renders names and remarks in Unicode Gurmukhi throughout, so the conjuncts, the addak and the tippi appear correctly on every machine and in every exported PDF. Transfer Certificates, report cards and marksheets all print in Gurmukhi and English together, which is what families and receiving schools across Punjab expect.
The ePunjab School portal (epunjabschool.gov.in), run by the Department of School Education, is where Punjab schools maintain student, staff, attendance, infrastructure and mid-day-meal data each month. SchoolDeck stores that information in fields that map to the portal's structure, so the monthly update becomes an export-and-submit step rather than a full re-keying job. SchoolDeck is an independent ERP, not the government portal itself — what it removes is the duplicate data entry between your own records and ePunjab.
The Right to Education Act, 2009, Section 12(1)(c) requires private unaided schools to reserve 25% of entry-class seats for children from disadvantaged and weaker sections. SchoolDeck keeps that obligation as a live ledger — eligible admissions, reimbursement claims and supporting documents in one place — so the figures hold up at inspection time. Alongside it, scholarship and welfare-scheme eligibility, beneficiary lists and disbursement reconciliation are tracked together, ready for the reports schools submit.
Parents pay through UPI, cards or net banking and get an SMS receipt that can be sent in Punjabi. Instalment plans, concession categories and defaulter lists are tracked automatically, and every payment posts to the fee ledger in real time. The daily round of WhatsApp reminders and hand-marked registers gives way to a fee book that stays current on its own.
A trust running branches in more than one district manages every one under a single account, with branch-level fee ledgers, consolidated reporting and one Punjabi certificate template applied everywhere. The edition is built to serve schools across the state's 23 districts:
Each state edition follows its own board's scheme, certificate format and state portal. The Punjab edition is not interchangeable with its siblings, and naming the difference keeps each page in its own lane:
| Task | Spreadsheets & Word | SchoolDeck Punjab Edition |
|---|---|---|
| Punjabi Transfer Certificate | Retyped each time; fonts break | Auto-filled Unicode Gurmukhi in ~52s |
| Class 5 / 8 / 10 / 12 results | Separate files per class | One profile, all four PSEB levels |
| ePunjab monthly update | Manual re-keying, days of work | Export from mapped fields |
| RTE 25% seats | Scattered across files | Live ledger with claims |
| Scholarships | Reconciled by hand | Beneficiary lists & reconciliation |
| Fee collection | Cash & WhatsApp chasing | UPI + Punjabi SMS receipts |
| Defaulter tracking | Manual register marks | Automatic lists |
| Multi-branch trust | One file set per branch | One account, branch ledgers |
| Report cards | Re-collated each term | Print action from stored marks |
