OningIQ vs Extramarks

The TL;DR before the table.
Schools, colleges and coaching institutes that want every module - admissions, fees, attendance, exams, transport, hostel, library, comms - on one connected platform.
Schools that need a content-rich in-class teaching layer and an interactive whiteboard, with parent academic visibility.
Extramarks is genuinely strong at putting content on a classroom screen. OningIQ is genuinely strong at running the institution behind that classroom - admissions through accounts. Several schools we work with use both, with OningIQ as the system of record and Extramarks as the in-class teaching layer.

Questions institute owners actually ask.
Is this an honest comparison or a hit piece?
Honest. Extramarks is genuinely better at in-class content and an integrated whiteboard. We are better at running the institution end-to-end. Several customers use both. Read the table and decide.
How does migration work?
Free. Our team imports your students, classes, sections, fee structures, ledgers, parent contacts and historical attendance. Most institutions go live within a week with zero downtime.
What does OningIQ cost?
Simple, transparent pricing from ₹1,999/month - and every feature is included in every plan. You only pay by student count, never by feature. Pay yearly and get 2 months free.
Do you handle WhatsApp DLT compliance?
Yes - WhatsApp Business API and SMS DLT templates ship with the platform. Broadcast to a class, a section, or every parent in two clicks.
Can I keep using Extramarks and add OningIQ?
Yes. Many schools run Extramarks as the in-class teaching layer and OningIQ as the system of record - admissions, fees, attendance, transport, exams, parent comms.
Run the institution, not just the classroom.
👋 Keep Extramarks on your boards if you love it. Put OningIQ underneath as the system of record - admissions, fees, attendance, transport, exams and parent comms on one platform.
