How UDISE Plus Know Your School Helps Parents and Students

The UDISE+ Know Your School dashboard is designed for public use. Key benefits:

• Make informed choices

  • Compare multiple schools’ infrastructure and PTR before admission.
  • Verify if a school has facilities like separate girls’ toilets, library, labs, and internet.

• Safety and access

  • Check presence of boundary wall, ramps, CWSN-friendly toilets, handwashing stations.

• Verify basics

  • Confirm management type, medium of instruction, recognition/affiliation (as reported in UDISE Plus).

• Understand capacity

  • See total enrollment and classroom availability to estimate how crowded a school may be.

• Location clarity

  • Use the map pin to confirm the school’s location and approach roads.

Example: A parent in Jaipur compares two nearby schools—both appear similar, but only one has an ICT lab and a lower PTR. That insight from UDISE Plus Know Your School can influence the final choice.

Benefits for School Administrators and Education Departments

For principals, head teachers, and officials, the public-facing UDISE Plus India dashboard offers:

• Data transparency

  • A single source of truth for school information system data, visible to all.

• Quality checks

  • Public visibility encourages accurate, timely UDISE Plus student data and school details.

• Planning and budgeting

  • Identify gaps (e.g., boundary wall, science labs) and prioritize resources or grants.

• Monitoring trends

  • Track enrollment shifts, PTR changes, and infrastructure improvements year to year.

• Stakeholder communication

  • Use the downloadable UDISE Plus report card in school meetings, SMC/SDMC discussions, and community outreach.

How the Data is Collected and Verified

UDISE+ strengthens earlier DISE/UDISE processes with online, real-time data entry and layered verification:

• Annual data capture

  • Each school fills an online Data Capture Format (DCF) once per academic year (reference date ~30 September).

• Multi-level validation

  • Data submitted by schools is checked by Cluster Resource Centre (CRC), Block, District, and State officials.

• Digital checks

  • The UDISE Plus portal applies consistency rules and flagging for unusual entries.

• Finalization and freeze

  • After approvals, the data is “frozen” for that year, and school report cards are generated.

• Privacy

  • UDISE Plus student data is aggregated for public display. Individual student information is not shown on Know Your School.

Source: Ministry of Education’s UDISE+ documentation and annual reports (e.g., 2021–22).

State-Wise Availability and Access

All States and UTs are onboarded to UDISE+ Know Your School. That said:

• Update timelines

  • Data for a particular academic year may go live on different dates by state due to validation schedules.

• Language options

  • Many pages are available in English and Hindi; some states add regional languages.

Tip: Always select the correct academic year and state before searching. If a school doesn’t appear, try a past year or confirm the spelling and location filters.
