General Data Entry Questions
Q: What is data entry in UDISE Plus?
Data entry means filling in your school's information in the UDISE+ portal every year. This includes student enrollment numbers, teacher details, and school infrastructure. All schools registered with the government must do this.
Q: How many times do we need to enter data every year?
Data entry is done once per academic year. The process starts around July-August and schools must complete it before the deadline (usually November-December). Data is based on the status on September 30.
Q: What documents should I keep ready before data entry?
Keep these ready: School recognition certificate, student admission register, teacher appointment letters, Aadhaar cards of teachers and students, and last year's UDISE data printout for reference.

Student Module Data Entry Issues
Q: Student data not saving - what to do?
Check that all mandatory fields (marked with *) are filled. Aadhaar number must be valid, DOB must be in correct format (DD/MM/YYYY), and class must be selected. After fixing, try saving again.
Q: APAAR ID not generating even after entering Aadhaar?
The name and date of birth in the form must match exactly with the Aadhaar card. Even a single letter difference will fail. Also ensure the student's Aadhaar is valid and not cancelled.
Q: How to add a student who was absent on September 30?
If a student was enrolled but absent on September 30, they should still be counted if they are a registered student. The enrollment register is the reference - not attendance.
Teacher Module Data Entry Issues
Q: Teacher's PEN number is not being assigned?
PEN is assigned after Aadhaar authentication. If authentication fails (name/DOB mismatch), PEN will not be generated. Verify exact Aadhaar details and try again. If problem persists, contact Block MIS Coordinator.
Q: A retired teacher is still showing in our school - how to remove?
In the Teacher Module, find the teacher and update their status to "Retired" with the exact retirement date. Do not delete - changing status is the correct process.
School Profile Data Entry Issues
Q: I entered wrong toilet count - how to correct?
If data is not yet submitted, go back to the WASH section and correct the number. If submitted, contact Block MIS Coordinator to unlock and correct. Before resubmitting, physically recount the toilets.
Q: Our school's name in UDISE+ portal is spelled wrong - who corrects it?
Official school name corrections are done at the District level. Submit a written request to your District Education Officer with the correct name and supporting documents (recognition certificate).
