NEP 2020 Holistic Progress Card Software for Indian Schools.
Chatmadi generates Holistic Progress Card report cards compliant with NEP 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework. CBSE, ICSE, ISC, State Board, IB, and IGCSE formats are all supported. Generate an entire class as branded PDFs in one click and send each report card to the parent’s WhatsApp instantly.
Report Cards That Take Minutes, Not Days
Report card generation used to mean weeks of collecting marks, typing remarks, and formatting in Word. Chatmadi reduces this to a single click with professional results.
NEP 2020 Holistic Progress Card
The HPC format evaluates students across cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains as required under NEP 2020. Chatmadi supports all four NCF stages: Foundational (ages 3 to 8), Preparatory (8 to 11), Middle (11 to 14), and Secondary (14 to 18). Co-scholastic entries, self-assessment, peer assessment, and competency-based fields are all included.
All Indian Boards Supported
CBSE schools get the HPC format with board-compliant evaluation domains. ICSE and ISC schools get the traditional subject-wise format with appropriate grade scales. State Board schools can configure formats matching their state curriculum. IB and IGCSE schools get international format report cards. One school can run multiple sections across different boards.
School Branding on Every Report Card
Configure your school logo, principal signature image, and school stamp once in Settings. These are automatically embedded on every report card generated from that point forward. The header includes your school name, address, and academic year. The result is a professional document that looks exactly like a printed report card, not a generic software output.
Batch Generation for Entire Class
Generate report cards for all students in a class simultaneously with one click. Each student gets their own PDF with their individual marks, grades, co-scholastic entries, attendance record, and teacher remarks. For a class of 40 students, batch generation completes in under 60 seconds.
Send to Parent WhatsApp in One Click
After generation, each report card PDF can be sent directly to the parent's WhatsApp number from within Chatmadi. The parent receives the PDF as a WhatsApp document message from the school's connected WhatsApp Business number. No printing, no distribution queue, no parent portal login required.
AI-Generated Student Remarks
For each student, Chatmadi can generate a contextualised remark based on their actual performance data: exam scores, attendance, homework completion, and subject strengths. The AI writes a remark that reflects the individual student rather than a generic template copied for the entire class. Teachers can edit any generated remark before the report card is published.
Co-Scholastic Activity Entries
CBSE and other board report cards include co-scholastic entries for activities, sports, clubs, and personality traits. Chatmadi provides structured entry fields for all standard co-scholastic categories. Entries can be saved as templates and applied across multiple students with individual adjustments, saving significant time for class teachers.
Student Photo on Report Card
Student photos uploaded to the student profile are automatically included on report cards that use the photo-enabled template. Photos are cropped and positioned correctly in the designated photo area without any manual adjustment. This is particularly useful for schools whose report card format includes a student photograph.
Built for All Four NCF Stages Under NEP 2020
The National Education Policy 2020 divides schooling into four stages with different evaluation requirements at each stage. Chatmadi supports the correct HPC format for every stage, so your school generates compliant report cards regardless of which classes you teach.
Foundational Stage
Play-based learning, motor skills, early language and numeracy. Report cards use developmental milestone indicators rather than numerical marks.
Preparatory Stage
Conceptual understanding, critical thinking, creativity. Report cards include subject competencies alongside co-scholastic activities.
Middle Stage
Subject specialisation begins, analytical thinking, self-assessment introduced. Report cards include peer assessment scores and project evaluation.
Secondary Stage
Career orientation, higher-order thinking, board exam preparation. Report cards include comprehensive co-scholastic entries and detailed teacher remarks.
Is the Holistic Progress Card mandatory for your school?
CBSE has been directing affiliated schools to implement HPC-aligned assessment since 2023 as part of NEP 2020 compliance. While full enforcement timelines are evolving, schools that implement HPC now are ahead of the compliance curve and prepared for any board mandate. Chatmadi’s HPC implementation is designed to meet current CBSE guidelines and will be updated as requirements evolve.
What Changes for Each Role
Report card generation in Chatmadi removes the multi-day production process and replaces it with a single action that delivers professional results instantly.
For Teachers
- Generate report cards for your entire class in under 60 seconds. No formatting, no Word templates, no manual data entry.
- AI generates contextualised remarks for each student based on their actual data. Edit any remark before publishing. Save hours of writing.
- Co-scholastic entries can be saved as class-level templates and adjusted per student, cutting entry time significantly for large classes.
For Principals
- Every report card carries your school's logo, your signature, and the school stamp automatically. No separate design step needed.
- NEP 2020 compliance is built in. The correct HPC format for each NCF stage is applied automatically based on the class level.
- Batch generate and distribute report cards for the entire school in one afternoon instead of across multiple days.
For Parents
- Receive the report card as a PDF on WhatsApp the same day it is generated. No need to visit school or wait for a physical copy.
- The HPC format gives parents a complete picture of their child's development, not just exam marks.
- Report cards are stored in the student profile and can be resent at any time if the parent needs a copy.
Report Cards in the NEP 2020 Era
NEP 2020 transformed what a school report card must do. The old format of marks and grades across 6 subjects no longer meets CBSE or state board requirements. The new Holistic Progress Card tracks cognitive domains, affective development, and psychomotor skills across the Foundational, Preparatory, Middle, and Secondary stages.
For a CBSE school, one of 27,000+ schools affiliated with CBSE per 2025 filings, generating HPC-compliant report cards without a modern school ERP means either manual work in Word or an expensive upgrade from a legacy ERP vendor. Neither option scales, and both leave the principal on the hook every term.
ICSE schools face the same transition. State boards in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra have begun their own HPC rollouts. A school ERP built for India needs to support all of these boards out of the box rather than asking schools to buy board-specific add-ons.
Why Chatmadi Report Card Software Handles HPC Better
Chatmadi's report card software is built for Indian school report card evolution, not retrofitted. The HPC templates for CBSE, ICSE, IB, IGCSE, and state boards are pre-loaded. Schools select their board once and report card generation matches that board's current requirements.
Teachers enter subject marks once. Chatmadi auto-calculates cognitive domain scores, generates performance bands (Excelling, On Track, Monitor, Concern, Critical), and populates the qualitative observation fields using a combination of teacher input and AI-generated summaries from attendance, homework, and exam data.
Final report cards go directly to parents on WhatsApp as branded PDFs. No printing, no distribution meetings unless the school prefers them. Parents get instant access. Schools save on printing costs and faculty time, and the school ERP keeps an auditable copy of every report card issued, indexed by academic year and student.
Integrates With the Chatmadi School ERP Ecosystem
Report card generation pulls data from:
- Exam management for marks and grades.
- Attendance management for term-wise presence data.
- Student management for demographic and class data.
- Homework tracking for engagement metrics.
- PTM management for parent feedback loops.
- WhatsApp school management for distribution to every parent.
That is the benefit of a unified school ERP. Every module feeds every other module, so report cards reflect the full academic record without the data reconciliation work that stand-alone report card tools always leave behind.
When a CBSE or ICSE school principal signs off on a Holistic Progress Card in Chatmadi, the ERP records which teacher entered each mark, which algorithm computed each performance band, and which attendance, homework, and exam entries contributed to the final narrative. Audit trail, compliance evidence, and parent-facing report all come from the same underlying school ERP data, which is exactly how NEP 2020 intended school reporting to work.
