MJX Hostel is the hostel register in Pathshala. It holds your rooms, the beds in each room, and which student sleeps in which bed — so "is there a free bed in the girls' block?" is answered on one screen instead of a wall chart.

#Who it is for

Residential schools, colleges and coaching centres with a hostel, whose warden or office keeps a register of who sleeps where.

#What you can do

#What the screen shows

At the top four counters: Rooms, Beds, Taken and Free. Below are two tabs:

TabWhat it holds
Rooms & bedsEvery room with its block and floor, how many beds are taken, and each bed as free or with the student's name
Residents (n)Everyone living in the hostel now, with their room, bed and class, and a search box

A student's hostel room, bed and the date they moved in also appear on their profile, on the More tab.

  2. Put each student in their bed.
  3. Keep it current: move students out when they leave, and in when they arrive.

#Questions people ask

What does MJX Hostel do today?

It keeps the hostel register — rooms, the beds in them, and which student sleeps in which bed — with counts of free and taken beds. Moving a student out keeps their stay in the history.

Does it handle hostel fees, mess or visitors?

Not yet. Mess, the visitor log and hostel fees are planned but not built. To bill hostel fees today, use a hostel activity in Fees (Pro) for the students who stay.

Who can change the hostel?

Only the owner or an admin. Everyone else who signs in can look it up.

Why can I not see Hostel in my menu?

The Hostel row appears only when your institution has the MJX Hostel module. Without it the row is hidden, not locked.
