Steady growth in school infrastructure and coverage across India
Schoolites keeps your school data in UDISE+ format all year, so you export it instead of re-typing it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
