# Batches

> Organise students into class groups

## What is a Batch?

A batch is a class group — for example "11th Science Morning 2026" or "NEET Repeater Batch A". Students are enrolled in batches, and attendance, fees, and timetables are organised by batch.

## Creating a Batch

Go to **Batches → Create Batch** and fill in:

* **Name** — descriptive name (e.g. "12th Commerce Evening 2026")
* **Standard** — the class level (11th, 12th, Dropper, etc.)
* **Subjects** — subjects taught in this batch
* **Teacher** — primary teacher (optional)
* **Fee** — default fee for students in this batch (can be overridden per student)

## Batch vs Standard

* **Standard** is the category (11th Science, 12th Commerce)
* **Batch** is the specific group within that standard

The fee collection charts group data both by batch and by standard.

## Archiving a Batch

When a batch finishes (end of academic year), you can archive it. Archived batches are hidden from active views but their data is preserved.
