When Do You Need to Update Student Data?
You need to update student data in UDISE Plus when:
- A student's name was entered with a spelling mistake
- Wrong date of birth was entered
- Wrong Aadhaar number was typed
- Student's class or section needs to be corrected
- Social category (SC/ST/OBC) needs to be updated with official certificate
- Student facilities (mid-day meal, books) status changed
- A dropout student returned to school and needs to be re-enrolled
- Address or parent details need to be corrected
Always Use Official Documents
Only update student data based on official documents - Aadhaar card, birth certificate, or school admission register. Never change data based on memory or verbal request.
How to Find a Student in SDMS
- Login to sdms.udiseplus.gov.in
- Look for "Student Search" or "Student List"
- You can search by: Student Name, Aadhaar Number, APAAR ID, or Class
- Enter the search term and click Search
- The matching student(s) will appear in results
- Click on the student's name to open their full profile
How to Update General Profile (GP)
GP has personal information like name, DOB, and Aadhaar:
- Open the student's profile
- Click on the "General Profile (GP)" tab or section
- Click the "Edit" button
- Find the field you need to change (name, DOB, category, etc.)
- Make the correction carefully
- Click "Save"
- If you changed Aadhaar or name, re-authenticate Aadhaar to update APAAR ID
Aadhaar Change → APAAR ID Changes
If you correct the Aadhaar number, you must re-authenticate and generate a new APAAR ID. The old APAAR ID becomes invalid.
How to Update Enrollment Profile (EP)
EP has class, section, and roll number information:
- Open the student's profile
- Click on "Enrollment Profile (EP)" tab
- Click "Edit"
- Update the required fields - class, section, roll number, admission number
- If changing academic year, make sure you are in the correct year view
- Click "Save"
How to Update Student Facilities (SF)
SF has information about government schemes and benefits:
- Open the student's profile
- Click on "Student Facilities (SF)" tab
- Click "Edit"
- Update Yes/No for mid-day meal, free books, uniform, scholarship, etc.
- Click "Save"
Update SF Before Deadline
Student Facilities data is used to calculate mid-day meal allocation and scheme benefits. Update this section accurately before the submission deadline.
How to Correct Wrong Aadhaar Number
If the Aadhaar number was entered incorrectly:
- Open the student's General Profile (GP)
- Click "Edit" and find the Aadhaar field
- Delete the wrong Aadhaar number
- Enter the correct 12-digit Aadhaar number
- Click "Verify Aadhaar" to authenticate
- If verification is successful, click "Generate New APAAR ID"
- Save the updated profile
Updating After Data Submission – Special Cases
If you have already submitted data and need to make corrections:
| Stage | How to Request Correction |
|---|---|
| Submitted (not yet block-verified) | Contact Block MIS Coordinator to unlock for editing |
| Block-certified (not yet district-certified) | District MIS Officer can unlock - contact DEO office |
| District-certified | Very difficult - state-level approval needed |
| National database (final) | Not possible for current year - reflected next year |
What Not to Do While Updating Student Data
- Never change DOB to make a student appear older/younger artificially
- Never change social category without an official caste certificate
- Never delete a student - always change their status (dropout/transferred)
- Never enter incorrect Aadhaar numbers - this can create APAAR ID conflicts
- Never change a student's class manually - use the official promotion process
- Never copy-paste data from one student to another - each entry must be verified individually
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are the most common questions people ask about How to Update Student Data in UDISE Plus 2026-27 – Step-by-Step Guide.
Login to SDMS at sdms.udiseplus.gov.in. Search for the student by name, Aadhaar, or APAAR ID. Click on the student's name. Click "Edit" on the section you want to update (GP, EP, or SF). Make the changes and click "Save".
After submission but before block certification, you can request the Block MIS Coordinator to unlock the data for correction. After district certification, corrections are very difficult and need state-level approval.
Go to the student's General Profile (GP), click Edit, change the name to match exactly what is on the Aadhaar card, and save. If Aadhaar itself has a wrong name, the family must first correct the Aadhaar before updating in UDISE+.
Edit the GP section and change the date of birth. The correct DOB should match the Aadhaar or birth certificate. Do not change DOB to make a student appear in a different age group - this is fraud.
Use the "Promote" feature in SDMS to move students to the next class. Do not manually change the class in EP. Promotion should be done through the official promotion process to maintain data integrity.
If a student who was marked as dropout has returned to school, find them in SDMS, change enrollment status from "Dropout" to "Active/Enrolled" for the current year, and update the EP section with current class and admission details.
Edit the GP section to correct the Aadhaar number. After correcting, you will need to re-authenticate the Aadhaar and regenerate the APAAR ID. The old APAAR ID will be replaced with the correct one linked to the right Aadhaar.
Yes. If the category (SC/ST/OBC) was entered incorrectly, edit the GP section and change it. You should have a caste certificate as supporting document. Changing category without proof can be questioned during inspection.
Duplicate roll numbers cause data conflicts. Edit the EP section of one student and assign a different roll number. Each student in the same class and section must have a unique roll number.
Before clicking the final Submit button, you can update student data unlimited times. There is no restriction on how many times you can edit and save. Only final submission requires block-level approval for subsequent changes.
✅ Conclusion
Updating student data in UDISE Plus 2026-27 is straightforward if the data hasn't been submitted yet. Always search for the student first, then edit the specific section that needs correction. For already submitted data, you need Block MIS Coordinator approval. The most important rule: only update based on official documents - Aadhaar, birth certificate, or school register. Never alter data to change a student's age or category - that is fraud.
