❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are the most common questions people ask about UDISE Plus Student Registration & Data Entry 2026-27 – Complete Process.
Student registration in UDISE Plus means entering each student's data into the SDMS (Student Database Management System) portal. Every student in a government or government-aided school must be registered with their name, Aadhaar, class, and other details.
Student data is entered at sdms.udiseplus.gov.in. Login with your school's 11-digit UDISE code and password. After logging in, you can add new students or update existing ones.
GP = General Profile (student's personal details like name, DOB, Aadhaar). EP = Enrollment Profile (class, section, roll number, academic year). SF = Student Facilities (mid-day meal, books, scholarship, uniform). All three sections must be filled for each student.
You need: student's Aadhaar card (for APAAR ID), date of birth certificate, father's and mother's name, caste certificate (for SC/ST/OBC category), and the student's class and section information.
Go to SDMS → Click "Add New Student" → Fill GP section with Aadhaar, name, DOB, parents' names → Generate APAAR ID → Fill EP section with class (1), section, roll number → Fill SF section with facilities like mid-day meal and books.
In SDMS, look for "Promote Students" or "Class Promotion" option. Select the class (e.g., Class 3) and the students will be promoted to Class 4 automatically. Review each student's EP data after promotion to confirm class and roll number.
Find the student in SDMS. Change their enrollment status to "Dropout" and enter the date they left and the reason (economic reasons, migrated, illness, etc.). Do not delete - always update the status.
Students must generally be entered one by one in the SDMS portal. Some states may have a bulk upload feature via Excel template. Check your state's SDMS portal or ask your Block MIS Coordinator if bulk upload is available.
Category means the social category of the student: SC (Scheduled Caste), ST (Scheduled Tribe), OBC (Other Backward Class), or General. This must be entered accurately as it affects scholarship eligibility and government reporting.
If a student does not have a caste certificate but belongs to SC/ST/OBC, enter the correct category based on parent's knowledge. Advise parents to get a formal caste certificate. For scholarships and government benefits, an official certificate will be needed later.
✅ Conclusion
Student registration in UDISE Plus 2026-27 involves three main steps: filling the General Profile, Enrollment Profile, and Student Facilities for each student. For Class 1 students, create fresh entries. For other classes, promote from the previous year. Always generate APAAR IDs for all students. Accurate student data ensures the school gets proper resources for mid-day meals, books, uniforms, and scholarships. Complete all student entries before the deadline.
