Hostels serve students who travel long distances or live away from home, and managing hostel operations manually in registers—tracking rooms, occupants, fees, and amenities—can become complex and error prone. ECAS (Enhanced Campus Automation System) offers a robust Hostel Management Module that automates all these tasks with accuracy, efficiency, and full integration into the institute’s administrative system.
Integrated Hostel Registration
Resident student data (personal details, stay periods) are fetched directly from the main admission register so there’s no redundant data entry. Once admitted, students are automatically available for hostel allocation.
Room / Block / Floor Mapping & Management
The software supports multiple hostel blocks, each with its own floors and rooms. Room capacities can differ (single, double, multiple bed rooms), and ECAS tracks these with granular control. You can quickly view and manage which rooms are occupied, vacant, or awaiting allocation. Block-wise, floor-wise, room-wise filtering simplifies overview and assignment.
Vacancy & Occupancy Tracking
Real-time status of hostel occupancy helps staff respond promptly to student queries about room availability. The module supports search of vacant rooms, occupied rooms, upcoming vacancies, etc. Parent or student inquiries at the admission counter can be answered with live data.
Fee, Deposit & Additional Services Management
Hostels often have associated fees: room rent, caution money (deposit), mess charges, laundry, etc. ECAS accommodates different fee plans for hostel stay, tracks dues, deposits, and optional services per student. It supports customizable fee heads specific to hostel usage.
Join & End Dates
For each resident, the system records the date they move in and move out (or end date), making stay duration, billing, and accommodation planning easier.
Searchable Records & Reporting
The module offers elaborate search over hostel resident details, including personal details, block/floor/room assignment, join & leave dates, which aids in administration, audit, and planning. Records can be viewed, printed, and stored for later reference.
