​
Institute Structure

A Center (also called Branch) is a physical location of your institute. We use both terms interchangeably since different institutes prefer different terminology.Examples:
  • Delhi Center
  • Mumbai Branch
  • Bangalore HSR Layout Center
You can manage multiple centers from a single Acadine dashboard, making it easy to scale across locations.Learn how to onboard centers →
A Course (also called Target) is an academic program your institute offers. We use both terms because different institutes refer to them differently.Examples:
  • JEE 2025
  • NEET 2024
  • Class 11 Commerce CBSE
  • Class 10 ICSE
  • CA Foundation
  • UPSC Prelims 2025
Each course is aligned to specific exam boards and contains subjects, syllabus, and target examinations.Learn how to create courses →
A Batch is a group of students enrolled in a specific course at a specific center. Think of it as a classroom or section.Examples:
  • JEE 2025 Morning Batch (Delhi Center)
  • NEET 2024 Weekend Batch (Mumbai Branch)
  • Class 11 Commerce Section A (Bangalore Center)
Batches help you organize students, assign teachers, schedule lectures, and track performance for specific groups.Learn how to create batches →

​
Curriculum & Content

The Syllabus is the curriculum content aligned to specific exam boards (CBSE, ICSE, State Boards, UPSC, etc.). It defines what topics students need to learn.Acadine’s AI uses syllabus mapping to:
  • Generate relevant question papers
  • Ensure coverage of all topics
  • Track performance at chapter/topic/subtopic levels
Learn how to configure syllabus →
Exam Boards are educational standards bodies that define curriculum and conduct examinations.Examples:
  • CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education)
  • ICSE (Indian Certificate of Secondary Education)
  • State Boards (Maharashtra, Karnataka, etc.)
  • UPSC (Union Public Service Commission)
  • Competitive exams (JEE, NEET)
Acadine’s AI evaluation is aligned to these exam board standards for consistent grading.
Subjects are individual disciplines within a course (e.g., Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Accountancy).Each subject contains:
  • Chapters
  • Topics
  • Subtopics
This hierarchy allows you to track student performance at granular levels and identify exactly where students struggle.Learn how to add subjects →
Study Materials are educational resources (PDFs, videos, notes, presentations) uploaded by teachers for student access.You can organize study materials by:
