- Screenshot of current incorrect data
- Correct data with proof
Submit to Block Office
Submit the complete request to your Block Education Officer (BEO). They will verify and forward to District.
District Verification
District office verifies the request and documents. For major corrections, it may go to State level.
Admin Makes Changes
Authorized admin logs into portal with elevated access to make the correction in locked fields.
Confirmation
You'll receive confirmation once correction is made. Verify by logging into your portal.
⚠️ Important Notes
- Post-lock corrections take 5-15 working days to process
- Keep copies of all submitted documents
- Follow up with tracking number if provided
- Some corrections may not be possible after final freeze

Edit directly if before lock date. After lock, submit Aadhaar copy showing correct name to Block office.
Wrong Date of Birth

Submit birth certificate copy along with correction request. Affects age-class validation.
Wrong Aadhaar Linked
Aadhaar number belongs to someone else
Complex case. Requires District intervention to de-link wrong Aadhaar and link correct one. Submit both Aadhaar copies.

During the review period (after initial submission but before final lock), some corrections may still be allowed. Check with your Block office as policies vary by state.
You can escalate to District Education Office with additional documentation. If the rejection seems unfair, you can also contact the State IT nodal officer.
