Managing education data for a country as large as India is a huge task. With millions of students, teachers, and schools, a reliable system is essential. To achieve this, the Government of India introduced UDISE Plus — a modern digital platform that helps schools upload accurate information so authorities can plan, support, and monitor education more effectively.
What is UDISE Plus?
UDISE Plus stands for Unified District Information System for Education Plus. It is an upgraded version of the earlier UDISE system and is used to collect yearly data from schools across India.
This platform records key information such as student enrollment, attendance, school infrastructure, classroom details, teacher data, and government education scheme coverage. It creates a single national database that supports better planning and decision-making in the education sector.
In simple terms, UDISE Plus helps the government understand what each school needs and where improvements are required.
Why UDISE Plus Was Created
Before UDISE Plus, data collection was mostly manual and often delayed. Errors were common due to paperwork and manual entry methods. With digital reporting, schools can now update information faster and more accurately.
The goal is to bring transparency, improve planning, and ensure that government support reaches the right schools and students on time.

What is a UDISE Code?
Every school in India receives an 11-digit UDISE code. This code identifies the school in the national database and is required to log into the UDISE Plus system. Schools without a code must apply through their district education office.
