Smart School 360 stores a dedicated Exam timetable mode — completely separate from the regular schedule. Exam hall zones can be silenced. No voice announcements during papers. One tap on the touchscreen to switch. One tap to switch back.
Smart School 360 stores three completely independent timetable modes:
A0 — Regular: Full school day with all period bells, prayers, water break, PA announcements, and voice-overs.
A1 — Exam: Dedicated exam schedule — different start time, different period durations, no voice announcements, reduced bell volume or silenced zones for exam halls.
A2 — Vacation: Minimal scheduling for during vacation camps, summer school, or staff days.
Switching between modes takes one tap on the touchscreen. No reprogramming. No technician needed.
Zone Silencing for Exam Halls
During examinations, the last thing students need is loud bells and voice announcements breaking concentration.
Smart School 360's zone control lets you silence specific zones — the exam hall, a particular wing, or an entire floor — while the rest of the campus continues on its normal schedule.
The exam supervisor still gets the signal (a softer tone, or just the clock on the device) while students in other areas hear normal bells. Both happen simultaneously from one device.
Why Schools Manage Exam Bells Manually Today
Most schools that don't have an automatic exam bell system manage exam day like this: someone watches the clock, rings a manual bell or buzzer at the right time, hoping they didn't lose track during a task.
The consequences of a missed or early exam bell are serious — students may stop writing before time, or continue after time. Neither is acceptable.
Smart School 360 eliminates this entirely. The exam bell rings at the exact programmed time, every time, with no human involvement.
Board Exam Support
For SSC, HSC, and CBSE board exams conducted on school premises, Smart School 360 can be programmed with the exact board-specified timing — reading time, writing start, and end signal — for the duration of the exam period.
