Setting up early-bird discounts, dynamic discounts and sibling concessions automatically.

Drive admissions, reward loyalty, and grow your institute family with smart, automated discount strategies—all managed effortlessly within CodePex Campus.

In the competitive world of coaching institutes, pricing strategy can make or break your admission targets. Offer too little, and you lose to competitors. Offer too much, and you hurt your margins. The sweet spot? Smart, automated discounting that rewards the right behaviors at the right time.

Early-bird discounts fill seats before the rush. Dynamic discounts respond to demand. Sibling concessions build family loyalty. But managing these manually—tracking who qualifies, applying discounts correctly, ensuring consistency—is a nightmare. CodePex Campus automates it all. Here's how to set up every type of discount and let the system do the work.

🏷️ Understanding Discount Types

🐦

Early-Bird Discounts

Reward parents who enroll well before the course starts. Improves cash flow and helps with capacity planning.

Example: 15% off for enrollments before 31 March, 10% off in April, 5% off in May.

📈

Dynamic Discounts

Automatically adjust discounts based on demand, batch capacity, or student performance.

Example: 10% off for batches below 60% capacity, merit-based scholarships for top performers.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Sibling Concessions

Encourage families to enroll multiple children. Builds loyalty and reduces marketing costs.

Example: 10% off for second sibling, 15% off for third sibling.

🤖 Why Automate Discount Management?

❌ Without Automation

• Staff manually check dates for early-bird eligibility
• Sibling relationships tracked in Excel (if at all)
• Inconsistent discounts—same parent may get different offers
• No visibility into discount impact on revenue
• Errors, disputes, and unhappy parents

✅ With CodePex Automation

• System auto-applies correct discount at enrollment
• Sibling relationships detected automatically
• 100% consistent, rule-based application
• Real-time reports on discount utilization
• Zero manual errors, happy parents

🐦 Setting Up Early-Bird Discounts

Navigate to Fee Management → Discounts → Early-Bird. Create a new discount rule:

Rule Name	Applicable Courses	Enrollment Period	Discount %
Super Early Bird	JEE, NEET	1 Jan - 31 Mar	15%
Early Bird	JEE, NEET	1 Apr - 30 Apr	10%
Last Chance	JEE, NEET	1 May - 31 May	5%

📌 When a parent enrolls on 15 March, system auto-applies 15% discount. No manual intervention needed.

📊 Dynamic Discount Configuration

Dynamic discounts adjust based on real-time conditions. CodePex supports multiple triggers:

Capacity-based

Auto-discount when batch is below threshold

Example: 10% off if batch < 60% full

Merit-based

Scholarships for top performers

Example: 25% off for students scoring >90% in qualifying exam

Referral-based

Discount when existing parent refers

Example: ₹1,000 off for both referrer and new parent

Early Payment

Discount for full fee payment upfront

Example: 5% off if paying full annual fee

Example: Capacity-based Rule Setup

Batch	Total Capacity	Current Enrollment	Discount Trigger	Auto Discount
JEE 2026-A	60	32	Below 60%	10% active
NEET 2025-B	50	48	Above 90%	No discount

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Sibling Concession Setup

Sibling discounts are powerful for building family loyalty. CodePex automatically detects siblings based on parent contact details.

Configuration

Navigate to Fee Management → Discounts → Sibling Concession. Set rules:

• First sibling: 0% discount
• Second sibling: 10% discount
• Third sibling: 15% discount
• Fourth+ sibling: 20% discount

How It Works

• When second sibling enrolls, system checks parent mobile number
• Finds existing sibling in database
• Auto-applies 10% discount to new enrollment
• Both siblings' records linked for future reference

📌 Example: Sharma family has three children. First pays full fee. Second gets 10% off. Third gets 15% off. All automatic.

🔄 Discount Stacking: What Applies First?

When a student qualifies for multiple discounts, CodePex applies them in a configurable order:

Default Stacking Order:

1. Sibling Concession (applied first)
2. Early-Bird Discount (applied on remaining amount)
3. Dynamic/Capacity Discount (applied last)

Example: Course fee ₹1,00,000. Student qualifies for 10% sibling discount and 15% early-bird.
Calculation: ₹1,00,000 - 10% = ₹90,000. Then ₹90,000 - 15% = ₹76,500 final fee.

You can customize stacking order based on your institute's policy.
