Prepare the file
The first row must contain column names. Minimum required: student name, class, roll, guardian phone. Optional: date of birth, address, sibling names.
Run the import
Go to Students → Import → choose the file. iilmaa tries to recognise the columns itself; if anything is wrong, map them from the dropdowns.
Validation and troubleshooting
You’ll see a preview before the import commits — how many rows are clean and which rows have problems (phone format, duplicate rolls). Import the clean rows first, fix the flagged ones and import the rest.
Uploading the same file twice doesn’t create duplicates — when roll + class match, the system updates the record instead of adding a new one.
