For example, Grade 5 Course in a school.
Every class or course has subjects. Faculties teach these Subjects and, are assigned to a specific Course and, a Batch.

Code. A shortcode for the course is defined with a predefined pattern.
Section. Can be named meaningfully as “Upper Reception”, “Lower Reception”, “Primary”, “Secondary”, etc to segregate the Course into a group.
Evaluation Type. This can be the type of evaluation used in the course. For Example Normal, GPA, etc.
Fees Term. This will define how a payment is made for the course.
