UDISE Plus Faqs: How to Find UDISE Code, Purpose, Teacher & Student Modules, PEN Number

The Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+), an initiative of the Ministry of Education, Government of India, is a pan-India database that collects and manages data on schools, teachers, and students to support policy-making and resource allocation. UDISE+ has extended its data entry period to December 15, 2026, allowing schools to update profiles, facilities, and modules accurately. 

This system, upgraded from the original UDISE in 2018-19, ensures real-time, digital data collection for over 1.5 million schools, 9.6 million teachers, and 265 million students. It plays a important role in schemes like Samagra Shiksha, Mid-Day Meal, and NEP 2020 implementation. This article addresses common 

FAQs on finding UDISE codes, the system’s purpose, differences from UDISE, data collected, modules in teaching, teacher/student modules, PEN number, and more. We also provide state-specific insights for Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand, along with separate sections for student and teacher modules to make it helpful for users.
