Setting up EMI and partial payment tracking for batches & courses

Make your courses accessible to more students with flexible payment options—while keeping full control over your cash flow.

In India, the cost of quality coaching—especially for competitive exams like JEE, NEET, and CA—can be a significant barrier for many families. A typical 2-year classroom program in Kota or Delhi can range from ₹1.5 lakh to ₹3 lakh. Paying this in one lump sum is difficult for most parents.

That's where EMI and partial payment options become game-changers. Institutes that offer flexible payment plans see up to 35% higher enrollment and 40% lower drop-out rates due to financial reasons. CodePex Campus makes it easy to set up and track EMIs, partial payments, and installment plans—while ensuring you always know exactly how much is due from whom.
