HostelGuru.
Every resident accounted for.
Residential campuses have a different clock. Gate movement, night rolls, mess counts and warden handovers — HostelGuru runs the parts ClassGuru was never built for, on the same platform and the same login.
A hostel does not take attendance once a day.
It records movement. A resident leaving for class, returning after dinner, signing out for the weekend, coming back late. HostelGuru treats every punch at the gate as a movement in or out, so the register always answers the only question that matters: who is on campus right now?
- Out-first logic that matches how residents actually move
- Gate device sync with duplicate-punch protection
- A live on-campus count for the warden on duty
- Parent alerts the moment a resident leaves or returns
The whole residential day.
From the allotment letter to the night roll call.
Rooms and allotment
Blocks, floors, room types and bed-level allotment. Vacancies update the moment a resident checks out, so the waiting list is always current.
Gate movement log
Every in and out punch, timestamped, with device source. Search by resident, block or date range and export the register when you need it.
Leave and outpass
Requests, warden approval, expected return and automatic flags for residents who are overdue. Parents can be notified at each step.
Mess and meal counts
Daily headcounts by meal, opt-outs for residents on leave, and monthly mess billing that flows into the fee module.
Visitors and discipline
Visitor entries with the resident they came to see, plus a simple discipline log with warden notes and escalation history.
Night roll call
Mark presence block by block on a phone. The unaccounted list is short, obvious and time-stamped for the handover.
How HostelGuru sits alongside ClassGuru.
Run either on its own, or both together on one campus with a single set of student records.
| Question | ClassGuru | HostelGuru |
|---|---|---|
| What does attendance mean? | Present or absent for a period | In or out at the gate, all day |
| Who is the primary user? | Office staff and class teachers | Wardens and hostel administration |
| What drives the day? | The timetable | Movement, meals and roll call |
| What do parents see? | Marks, fees, homework, notices | Entry and exit alerts, leave status |
| Where do fees come from? | Tuition, transport, exam heads | Room rent, mess, deposits |
| Can they share one student list? | Yes — a resident is the same person as a student, not a second record | |
Three weeks from gate device to night roll.
Map the campus
Blocks, floors, rooms and beds go in first, along with your current allotment. If you keep it in a spreadsheet, we import it.
Connect the gate
We link your existing biometric or card reader at the gate and verify that every punch lands in the movement log correctly.
Hand it to the wardens
A short session on the phone view, roll call and leave approvals. After that the register maintains itself.
Show us your hostel, we will show you HostelGuru.
