Hazira Khata — free digital attendance

Record daily attendance digitally instead of in a handwritten register — class-wise lists and attendance totals in one place, at no cost.

Hazira Khata is the free attendance product from SchoolZee Tech Ltd. Its purpose is simple: make the most routine task at any institution — daily attendance — easier, faster and cleaner.

Using Hazira Khata requires no subscription or payment. Whatever your institution type, size or student count, you can start today.

What is Hazira Khata?

Hazira Khata is a digital attendance tool. It does the job a paper attendance register does, but faster, cleaner and easier to account for. Student lists are kept by class and section, attendance is recorded daily, and daily and monthly totals do not have to be tallied separately.

One mistake in a paper register can throw off the whole month's totals. Hazira Khata greatly reduces that problem, because each entry is stored separately and can be corrected later.

Who should use it?

Any institution that keeps daily student attendance will find Hazira Khata useful.

  • Schools and colleges
  • Madrasas
  • Kindergartens and pre-schools
  • Coaching and training centres
  • Class teachers who take attendance every day
  • Institution heads and offices that need attendance records

The problem: the trouble with handwritten attendance

A handwritten register can run for years, but so do its problems — a lost register, a page spoiled by water or oil, an entry forgotten, and hours lost reconciling totals at month end.

The biggest loss is information you cannot find. If you want one student's attendance last month, you have to dig out an old register and flip through the pages — time that would be far more valuable spent on the institution's work.

  • Time is lost reconciling attendance at the end of the month
  • It is hard to trace one student's attendance history
  • Comparing classes or sections is a hassle
  • Fixing a wrong entry means cutting or erasing the page

Key features

Hazira Khata is arranged for daily use — no extra complexity, just the parts the job actually needs.

  • Student lists by class and section
  • Fast daily attendance recording
  • Present, absent and leave counts in one place
  • Student-wise attendance history
  • Daily and monthly summaries
  • Ability to correct an entry afterwards

How Hazira Khata works

  1. 01

    Set up classes and students

    Create your lists with the institution's classes, sections and students. Once this is done, the daily job is just taking attendance.

  2. 02

    Take attendance every day

    Open the class list and mark who is present — absences get recorded too. Faster than writing names on paper.

  3. 03

    Read reports and totals

    Daily or monthly summaries, one student's history, or a class-wise comparison — the reconciliation is essentially already done.

  4. 04

    Correct when needed

    If an entry turns out wrong later, fix it. No erasing or scratching out pages, as with a paper register.

Why Hazira Khata is free

Digitising attendance is often the biggest gain an institution gets, but also the easiest place to begin. We want every institution in Bangladesh — a small coaching centre or a madrasa with one class — to be able to take that first step without spending money. That is why Hazira Khata is usable without a subscription.

Hazira Khata's scope is deliberately narrow: it should do the attendance job well, but the rest of institution management — fees, results, routines, teacher management — is not its job. That clear boundary is what keeps the tool simple.

Use by institution type

Schools need section-wise counts alongside class attendance; madrasas have their own groupings and student numbers; kindergartens put the most weight on telling guardians about daily presence; and coaching centres need attendance viewed by batch.

The core job is the same everywhere — record presence quickly and keep the totals within reach. Once the lists are arranged to match your own classes, sections and batches, you can start.

Limitations: when you need SchoolZee App

Hazira Khata keeps attendance records. When the institution's needs grow beyond that, a complete management system is required.

  • When fee, due and payment records are needed alongside attendance
  • When results and result cards must be produced from exam marks
  • When class routines and teacher schedules need to be organised
  • When teacher and staff management and salary records are needed
  • When direct communication and notices to guardians are needed
  • When role-based permissions must control who sees what

What setup and daily use require

Getting Hazira Khata running needs no large setup or separate IT support — create the class and student lists and you can begin. Running it alongside the paper register for the first few days builds confidence, and then settling on one way of working is easy.

The teacher who takes attendance every day should be the primary user — this reduces writing the same information twice and keeps the record reliable from the start.

From attendance to full institution management

When the institution is ready, moving to SchoolZee App turns the attendance experience into an advantage — student and class information is already structured, attendance becomes part of the same system, and fees and dues, exams and results, class routines, notices and communication, teacher and staff management, salaries and role-based permissions all join it.

SchoolZee App is completely free for up to 15 students (mobile app only). After that you can choose a plan by student count — with mobile app and desktop access.

  • Attendance, fees, results, routines and communication in one system
  • Teacher and staff management and salary options
  • Institution setup and onboarding assistance (with premium plans)

Frequently asked questions

Does Hazira Khata cost anything?

No. Hazira Khata is a free product — no subscription or payment is required to keep attendance records.

Can attendance be taken for multiple classes and sections?

Yes. Student lists can be kept by class and section, so each class's attendance is recorded separately and can be reviewed separately afterwards.

Are attendance reports available?

Yes. Daily and monthly attendance summaries and student-wise attendance history are available, which makes month-end reconciliation easier.

Can a wrong entry be corrected later?

Yes. Entries are stored separately, so a mistake can be corrected — no need to scratch out a page as with a paper register.

Do we have to stop using the handwritten register?

That is your institution's decision. Many institutions run both side by side at first, then retire the paper register once they trust the digital record.

Can guardians see the attendance information?

Hazira Khata is mainly for keeping attendance records inside the institution. Delivering attendance updates and notices directly to guardians is part of the SchoolZee App communication ecosystem.

What happens as the number of students grows?

Hazira Khata keeps handling daily attendance. But as students grow, if fees, results, routines and communication are needed together, SchoolZee App becomes the better fit — there they are part of the same system.
