Why Class 1 Students are Special in UDISE Plus
Class 1 students are different from other students in UDISE Plus because they are completely new to the system. They have no previous year data in SDMS, so you cannot "promote" them - you have to create a fresh entry for each one.
For other classes (2 to 12), students are promoted from the previous year. But for Class 1, every student is a new record that needs complete information - including their APAAR ID generated for the first time.
Important for 2026-27
All Class 1 students must have an APAAR ID generated through Aadhaar authentication. Make sure every student has an Aadhaar card before data entry.
What You Need Before Adding Class 1 Students
Gather this information for each student before starting data entry:
- Student's Aadhaar Card - needed for APAAR ID generation
- Date of Birth - exact date, matching Aadhaar (DD/MM/YYYY)
- Student's Full Name - as written on Aadhaar card
- Father's Name and Mother's Name
- Social Category - SC / ST / OBC / General (with certificate if available)
- Home Address - village, district, state, pin code
- Admission Number - the number given in your school's admission register
- Roll Number - the class roll number assigned
Step-by-Step: Add Class 1 Student in SDMS

How to Generate APAAR ID for Class 1 Students

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are the most common questions people ask about How to Add Class 1 Students in UDISE Plus 2026-27 – Step by Step.
Login to SDMS at sdms.udiseplus.gov.in. Click "Add New Student". Enter the student's Aadhaar number for verification. Fill the General Profile (GP) with name, DOB, parents' details. Generate APAAR ID. Then fill Enrollment Profile (EP) with class as 1 and roll number. Finally fill Student Facilities (SF).
Aadhaar is required to generate APAAR ID, which is compulsory from 2026-27. If a student doesn't have Aadhaar, help parents enroll the child for Aadhaar first at a Common Service Centre (CSC). Without Aadhaar, APAAR ID cannot be generated.
As per RTE Act, the minimum age for Class 1 is 6 years. The UDISE+ system may flag students who are younger than 5 or older than 8 for Class 1. Enter the correct date of birth - don't alter it to avoid the flag.
You can save student data without APAAR ID temporarily, but APAAR ID generation is mandatory before the final submission deadline. Schools that submit without APAAR IDs for all students may face certification issues.
Only the student's Aadhaar is needed, not the parents'. If the student does not have Aadhaar, the family should visit the nearest Aadhaar centre or Common Service Centre to enroll the child.
Add each twin as a separate student entry. Both will have different Aadhaar numbers and different APAAR IDs. They will share the same parents' names and address but will have different individual identities in the system.
Date of birth can be entered based on the Aadhaar card DOB if no birth certificate is available. If neither is available, use the school admission register date of birth. Advise parents to get a birth certificate from the municipal authority.
After adding all Class 1 students with GP, EP, and SF data and generating APAAR IDs, review all entries for errors. Then submit the data so it goes to Block MIS Coordinator for verification and approval.
There is no fixed limit per day. However, adding data one by one takes time. Plan to add students in batches - 20-30 per sitting - to avoid fatigue and data entry errors. Early morning is the best time as server speed is better.
If the student's social category is not confirmed, enter "General" temporarily. Update it to the correct category (SC/ST/OBC) once the family provides the caste certificate. Correct this before the submission deadline.
✅ Conclusion
Adding Class 1 students in UDISE Plus 2026-27 is not difficult if you have the student's Aadhaar and all required information ready. The most important step is generating the APAAR ID - this is the student's permanent education number that will follow them throughout their school life. Make sure all Class 1 students are added with correct details before the data entry deadline.
