Quick answer
The UDISE full form is Unified District Information System for Education. UDISE+ is the Ministry of Education’s online system that collects data from every recognised school in India each year: infrastructure, teachers, enrolment, and student records. Each school has an 11-digit UDISE code, and students receive a Permanent Education Number (PEN) through it.
- UDISE stands for Unified District Information System for Education.
- UDISE+ is the current online version, run by the Ministry of Education.
- Each school has a unique UDISE code.
- Student-level data gives each learner a PEN, needed for an APAAR ID.
What data does UDISE+ collect?
- School profile: management type, location, board, and classes offered.
- Infrastructure: classrooms, toilets, drinking water, electricity, library, and digital facilities.
- Teachers: qualifications, training, and posts.
- Students: enrolment by class, gender, and social category, plus student-level records.
What is a UDISE code?
A UDISE code is an 11-digit number that identifies each school. Parents see it on forms and certificates, and schools use it for scholarships, board registration, and government schemes. It can be searched on the UDISE+ portal by school name and location.
What is a PEN in UDISE+?
A Permanent Education Number is generated for each student through the UDISE+ student module. It stays with the student when they change schools, and it is needed before an APAAR ID can be created.
How does a school submit UDISE+ data?
- Prepare records. Gather enrolment, staff, and infrastructure data from school records.
- Update student data. Add new students, promote or mark leavers, and correct errors.
- Enter school data. Fill the school, teacher, and facility sections online.
- Verify. Cluster, block, and district officials check and approve the data.
- Keep it current. Update through the year as students join and leave.
How can school software help with UDISE+?
UDISE+ entry is much faster when the school’s student and staff records are already clean and complete. A student information system with fields for PEN, APAAR, category, and admission details lets the office prepare UDISE+ data from one source. Hudace SchoolOS keeps student records, staff records, and documents in one place.
