UDISE Plus (UDISE+) Login Links for Teacher, Student, School Profile | All Modules | Know Your School

UDISE Plus stands for Unified District Information System for Education Plus. It is the official school education data platform under the Ministry of Education (formerly MHRD), Government of India. The system covers the entire school sector from pre-primary to higher secondary across government, aided, and private institutions.It helps schools, districts, states, and the central government collect, manage, and analyze data for better planning and policy-making. From basic infrastructure to enrolment and teacher details, UDISE+ brings everything under one digital roof.

UDISE Plus Modules

What makes UDISE+ especially powerful is its modular design. Different UDISE Plus Modules handle different parts of the workflow: school profiling, teacher and student information, UDISE Plus data entry, validations, dashboards, public “Know Your School” access, and UDISE Plus report generation. Together, these UDISE+ Modules create a reliable backbone for planning, monitoring, and improving school education at every level.

Why Modules Matter in UDISE+

UDISE+ modernized the older, spreadsheet-based approach to school data by moving online and making collection more frequent, structured, and verifiable. Instead of trying to capture everything in one place, UDISE+ uses modules. Each module focuses on a specific task—like entering school profile details, tracking teacher information, or generating district-level performance reports.

This modular design matters because:

  • It simplifies complex data workflows for users.
  • It standardizes definitions nationally while enabling state-level customization.
  • It reduces errors through step-by-step UDISE Plus data entry and validation checks.
  • It provides role-based access—school, block, district, state—so the right people handle the right data.
  • It powers timely decisions through the UDISE Plus dashboard and reports.

What does UDISE+ track?

  • School profile: UDISE code, location, management type
  • Infrastructure: classrooms, toilets, drinking water, electricity, ramps, ICT labs, boundary walls, playgrounds
  • Enrolment: by grade, gender, and social category
  • Teachers and staff: sanctioned posts, working teachers, training, subject-wise deployment
  • Facilities and services: library, laboratory, sports, safety measures
  • Academic streams at secondary/higher secondary levels
  • Special needs support (CWSN): ramps, special educators, resource rooms

UDISE Plus Student SDMS Login Module (State-Wise)

The Student Module often links to SDMS (Student Database Management System) at the state or district level. While UDISE+ aggregates enrolment and transition data nationally, many states maintain student-level records that align with UDISE+ schema—covering enrolment, attendance, and sometimes learning assessments.

Each state has its own login portal in the UDISE Plus SDMS module. Where schools and education departments fill and update the information of students. You can update the information of students in your school by clicking on the state-wise button below.

Data Entry and Validation Module

This is the engine room of UDISE+—where data gets entered, checked, and “frozen” for analysis.

Core workflow:

  1. UDISE Plus login with school credentials at udiseplus.gov.in.
  2. Access the Data Entry forms (annual Data Capture Format; reference date typically 30 September).
  3. Fill section-wise: school profile, facilities, enrolment, teachers, grants, etc.
  4. Save and run validations:
    • Field-level checks (e.g., numbers must be positive)
    • Cross-tab checks (e.g., enrolment vs. number of classrooms or teachers)
    • Historical comparisons (flag large year-on-year deviations)
  5. Submit to the next level (CRC/Block) for scrutiny.
  6. Corrections (if returned with remarks).
  7. Freeze at school level when accurate; then block/district/state freeze sequentially.

Key features:

  • Validation rules embedded in the forms.
  • Auto-calculations to reduce manual errors.
  • Status dashboards for completion percentages at each level.
  • Audit trails and timestamps.

Best practices for schools:

  • Keep last year’s approved printout handy and verify each item.
  • Coordinate with the head teacher, clerk, and teachers in charge of enrolment and facilities to avoid mismatches.
  • Use the “remarks” field to explain unusual data (e.g., temporary building repairs leading to fewer usable classrooms).
  • Complete the process early to allow time for corrections before district freeze.

Common mistakes to avoid:

  • Leaving a section incomplete but attempting to freeze.
  • Entering headcounts in the wrong category (e.g., including pre-primary in primary inadvertently).
  • Forgetting to update facilities after repairs or new installations.

Know Your School Module

UDISE Plus Know Your School is the public-facing window into school data. It builds trust and helps communities engage with schools.

What citizens can view:

  • Basic school profile: name, UDISE code, location, management type.
  • Contact details and map location (where available).
  • Enrolment summary and teacher count.
  • Facilities like toilets, electricity, drinking water, and library.

Why it’s valuable:

  • Parents use it to compare nearby schools and make informed choices.
  • Community members verify infrastructure claims and support development efforts.
  • Media and researchers rely on it for quick, verified snapshots.

Tip for school heads:

  • Keep your school information up to date—what shows up on “Know Your School” is your public profile.

How Does UDISE Plus Work? (Data Collection Process)

While it is a digital platform, UDISE+ follows a clear annual cycle with a standard “reference date.” The reference date for UDISE+ data is usually 30 September of the academic year. Data entered represents the situation as of that date.

Typical annual cycle:

  1. Preparation

    • The Ministry issues guidelines and the new year’s DCF structure.
    • The portal opens for the new academic year; existing data pre-fills.
  2. School-level UDISE Plus data entry

    • The Head of School or designated staff logs in using credentials shared by district/block offices.
    • The UDISE Plus data entry module is filled section by section:
      • School profile and management
      • Enrolment by grade and gender
      • Teachers: sanctioned vs. in-position, subject-wise, training
      • Infrastructure and facilities
      • Streams, labs, library, ICT, safety measures
      • CWSN support
    • Built-in validation prompts help catch errors (e.g., enrolment cannot exceed sanctioned capacity by unrealistic margins).
  3. Verification chain

    • Cluster Resource Centre (CRC) verifies entries for schools in their cluster.
    • Block Education Office (BEO) checks and raises queries if needed.
    • District-level teams review and approve.
    • State-level admins monitor progress and quality.
  4. Freeze and reporting

    • Once verified, records are frozen for that year to ensure a consistent dataset for reporting.
    • UDISE Plus dashboard and report cards update after finalization.
    • Indicators like PTR, SCR (Student-Classroom Ratio), and GPI (Gender Parity Index) get computed.
  5. Use in planning

    • Districts use the data to propose infrastructure, teacher recruitment, or rationalization.
    • States and the Centre use it for fund allocation and policy.

A typical timeline can span a few months from data entry to final freeze and publication. The “Plus” in UDISE+ largely reflects improved speed and validation compared to the earlier system.

Benefits of UDISE Plus for Schools, Teachers, and Government

A strong education data system pays off when everyone can use it easily. Here’s how UDISE+ helps different stakeholders.

  • For schools and school management

    • One-stop data reporting reduces redundant paperwork.
    • Pre-filled data cuts the time needed each year.
    • Evidence for school improvement proposals (new classrooms, labs, ramps).
    • Clear documentation that supports inspections, recognition, and compliance.
  • For teachers

    • Accurate teacher data helps in rationalization and workload balancing.
    • Training needs analysis can be better targeted (e.g., subject-wise shortages).
    • More time for academic work as manual processes reduce over time.
  • For districts and states

    • UDISE Plus dashboard highlights coverage gaps in facilities and staffing.
    • Geographic targeting of investments becomes easier with GIS.
    • Quick comparisons across blocks/districts to track progress and prioritize interventions.
  • For the central government

    • National planning and budgeting for schemes like Samagra Shiksha.
    • Tracking NEP 2020 targets (e.g., access, equity, inclusion).
    • Public transparency via school report cards and Know Your School.
  • For parents and the community

    • School information is accessible through “Know Your School.”
    • A better understanding of local school strengths and gaps.
    • Encourages community participation and accountability.

Key Features of the UDISE Plus Dashboard (for Administrators)

For authorized users, the UDISE Plus dashboard offers an at-a-glance view of crucial indicators to guide decisions.

Common elements you’ll find:

  • Enrolment trends by grade and gender
  • Distribution of schools by category and management
  • PTR and SCR by block/district
  • Availability of essentials: toilets, electricity, drinking water, boundary wall, ramps
  • Subject-wise teacher availability in secondary schools
  • CWSN-friendly features and accessibility indicators
  • Progress of data entry, verification, and freeze status

Administrators can filter by geography and management, drill down to the school level, and export tables for planning meetings and presentations.

UDISE Plus Data Entry: What Schools Typically Fill

While the exact DCF may evolve, schools usually fill the following sections:

  • Basic details: school name, UDISE code, location, category, recognition, management
  • Infrastructure: classrooms, building condition, electricity, drinking water, toilets (boys/girls/CWSN-friendly), ramps, boundary wall
  • Enrolment: grade-wise, gender-wise, social category-wise (SC/ST/OBC/General), CWSN
  • Teachers: sanctioned, in-position, subject-wise at secondary levels, training status, qualifications
  • Facilities and learning resources: library, lab, ICT, sports equipment, internet
  • Streams and subjects: at secondary/higher secondary
  • Safety and hygiene: fire safety measures, handwashing facilities
  • Miscellaneous: school development grants received/utilized (as applicable)

Good practices for schools:

  • Keep a data file ready: last year’s UDISE report card, staff strength, enrolment registers, infrastructure inventory.
  • Cross-verify numbers: total enrolment must equal sum across grades and categories.
  • Update changes: new classrooms added, facilities repaired, teacher transfers.
  • Use the “Remarks” or “Notes” sections if available to clarify unusual situations.

Real Examples and Indicators (Simple Explanations)

  • UDISE code: Every school’s 11-digit number is unique. If your school was merged or split, ensure your UDISE code reflects that change with the help of the district office.

  • Pupil–Teacher Ratio (PTR):

    • PTR = Total students ÷ Total teachers in-position
    • Example: 500 students and 20 teachers → PTR = 25 (generally considered healthy at primary levels).
    • A high PTR (e.g., >40) signals teacher shortage.
  • Student–Classroom Ratio (SCR):

    • SCR = Total students ÷ Total classrooms in use
    • If a school has 600 students and 12 classrooms, SCR = 50 → indicates need for more classrooms or better timetabling.
  • Gender Parity Index (GPI):

    • GPI compares enrolment of girls to boys.
    • GPI close to 1 means parity; below 1 suggests lower female participation.
  • Facilities:

    • If several schools in a block lack separate girls’ toilets, it often correlates with lower attendance among adolescent girls. Planners can prioritize these schools for construction.

UDISE+ reports and dashboards compile such indicators to guide practical action, not just to generate numbers.

Challenges and Limitations

No data system is perfect. Here are the common challenges UDISE+ faces—and why awareness matters.

  • Data accuracy and incentives

    • Since data is entered manually by schools, errors can creep in. In rare cases, there may be pressure to overstate or understate figures.
    • The verification chain reduces errors, but training and audit checks are still crucial.
  • Connectivity and infrastructure

    • Rural or remote schools may struggle with stable internet for timely UDISE Plus data entry.
    • Offline and mobile-first solutions are improving but still catching up in some areas.
  • Workload and training

    • School heads juggle academic and administrative tasks. Without clear training, filling a detailed DCF is time-consuming.
    • Turnover among staff can lead to loss of institutional memory.
  • Duplication with state EMIS

    • Many states run their own student-level EMIS. Mapping and syncing with UDISE+ requires robust interoperability and can cause temporary mismatches.
  • Timeliness vs. thoroughness

    • UDISE+ significantly speeds up the old process, but it’s still an annual snapshot. Some decisions need more real-time data.
  • Privacy and ethics

    • Although UDISE+ is primarily aggregated, integration with other systems must always be done with strong data protection and consent frameworks.
  • Change management

    • Mergers, closures, or category upgrades of schools must be reflected accurately, including updates to UDISE codes and historical continuity.

Acknowledging these challenges helps stakeholders design better workflows: more training, stronger validation, smart integrations, and realistic timelines.

  1. Can a school apply online for a new UDISE code?
    No. Schools don’t self-generate UDISE codes. After a school receives formal recognition, the district/state EMIS team requests code creation through official channels. Contact your District Education Office for the process.

  2. What is the UDISE+ reference date?
    Data reflects the status as on a specific reference date, usually 30 September of the academic year. All entries (enrolment, teachers, facilities) should correspond to that date.

  3. What is the UDISE Plus portal used for?
    The UDISE Plus portal (udiseplus.gov.in) supports:

  • Role-based UDISE Plus login for schools and officials
  • Annual data entry (DCF)
  • Multi-level verification and freeze
  • Analytics via the UDISE Plus dashboard
  • Public access to “Know Your School” and school report cards
