Assign Roll Number
Roll Numbers are sequential identifiers assigned to students within their class section. They are used in attendance sheets, exam hall tickets, grade reports, and ID cards. Roll numbers are automatically assigned during student admission and promotion, but you can manually reassign them from this page.

Automatic Roll Number Assignment
Roll numbers are automatically assigned in the following scenarios:
| Scenario | Sorting Logic |
|---|---|
| Student admission | Next available number in the class section |
| Student promotion | Re-sorted based on school settings (default: first name, ascending) |
| Student transfer | Assigned incrementally starting after the current highest number in the destination section |
The sort column and sort order for promotion are defined in the school's system settings (roll_number_sort_column and roll_number_sort_order).
When to manually reassign
- After transferring students between sections
- At the start of a new session year
- When you want a specific ordering (e.g., alphabetical by last name, or by gender)
Staff App View
In the Stunov+ Staff app, roll numbers appear in the attendance screen where teachers take daily attendance. Each student is listed with their roll number, making it easy to verify assignments match the web panel configuration.
