Frequently Asked Questions

How reliable is UDISE+ data?

UDISE+ data is self-reported by schools and verified at Block/District levels. While it's the most comprehensive education database in India, accuracy depends on proper data entry by schools. The system includes validation checks to minimize errors.

How often is UDISE+ data updated?

UDISE+ data is collected annually, typically during September-December. After the data freeze deadline, statistics are compiled and published. Historical data is maintained for year-on-year comparison.

Can I use UDISE+ data for research?

Yes, UDISE+ public data can be used for research and analysis. The portal provides downloadable statistics. For detailed microdata, formal requests may be needed through proper channels.

What does GER above 100% mean?

Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) above 100% indicates that students outside the official age group are also enrolled (e.g., over-age or under-age students). This is common in primary education due to late starters and repeaters.

Tired of Manual UDISE+ Data Entry?

Let Schoolites handle the complexity. Keep student and staff data UDISE+ ready all year and export it instead of re-typing it before the deadline.
