Steps to Certify School Facilities in UDISE+ 2025‑26

Before you dive in, take a moment to understand what the tool is. UDISE+ is a national portal by the Ministry of Education, Government of India for collecting detailed data about schools: infrastructure, teachers, students, and facilities.

1. Understand What UDISE+ Wants

The data includes school profile, safety indicators, receipts & expenditure, vocational education, and detailed school facility information.

2. Get the Basics Ready

What you should have in place:

Your school’s 11‑digit UDISE code (used as the login username).
A password provided by the Block MIS Coordinator (or whoever handles this in your district).
Access to the school profile & facilities module in the portal.
Reliable data: building age, number of classrooms, toilets, water supply, safety measures, etc.
Offline copy of the DCF Excel/PDF so you can fill data offline before entering.

3. Log In and Navigate to the Right Module

Here’s how you do it, step by step:

Go to the UDISE+ portal.

Log‑in using your school’s code and password.

On the dashboard, look for “School Profile & Facilities” (or similarly titled) module.

Open the module and check the sections:
School Profile details – location, management, class levels.
Safety & Other Indicators – e.g., ramp for differently abled, fire measures.
School Facility – infrastructure: toilets, drinking water, labs, library, etc.

4. Enter Accurate Facility Data

Don’t rush this part. Accurate data means better resource allocation and avoids future corrections. Here are some tips:

Use the offline DCF to collect all numbers and facts: building age, number of usable classrooms, toilets for girls and boys, drinking water availability, access for children with special needs.
If something has changed (say new toilets built, or building renovation done) update that.
Make sure you fill all mandatory fields – the system will mark incomplete ones.
Cross‑check with last year’s submission: if you submitted something earlier, verify if it’s still correct.
Don’t skip the safety and accessibility part (ramps, handrails) — these are increasingly being checked.

5. Review & Certification

Once you’ve entered all data:

Review all sections and make sure they show “Completed” or “100%”. The portal often gives status.

Fix any errors flagged by the portal (if fields are missing, or validation fails).

Password: Enter the password provided by your Block or District MIS coordinator.

Captcha: Type the captcha code shown on the screen.

When you’re confident everything is correct: click on “Certify” or “Submit for Certification” (name may vary) to lock the data.

After certification, you may be allowed to download a certificate/report for your school that shows data has been certified.

Keep a copy (PDF or printed) for your records. This helps in audits or when the district/state asks for proof.

6. After Certification: What to Do Next

Certification isn’t the end — keep these in mind:

If during the year any major change happens (building, facility upgrade, new lab, or damage) update the data in next cycle.

Maintain documentation/backups: invoices for new infrastructure, photographs, handover notes. Useful if the state/district audits.

Periodically check if your data remains consistent: sometimes district/state MIS office may update things or ask for clarifications.

If you found errors after certifying, contact your Block/District MIS coordinator quickly to correct. Delays may mean rejection or penalties.

Use your certified data to support needs: e.g., you can show the facility gaps to request additional funds, equipment or renovation.

7. Quick Checklist for Facility Certification

Here’s a handy checklist to tick off:

Login credentials ready (code + password)
Offline DCF filled (profile + facility data)
All mandatory fields populated
Infrastructure metrics entered (classrooms, toilets, drinking water, labs, library)
Safety & accessibility features updated (ramps, handrails, fire safety)
Cross‑checked last year’s data for changes
Portal validation errors addressed
Certification submitted
Backup documentation maintained

8. Why This Matters (and Won’t Be Ignored)

The UDISE+ data helps the government plan funding, monitor school quality, and track infrastructure gaps. If your facility data is incorrect or missing, you may not get required resources. Schools that delay or submit wrong data may face “incomplete” status, which can impact recognition, funds, or grants. From an “AEO” point of view (i.e., aligning to how people search) many school heads search things like “how to certify UDISE+ school profile 2025‑26”, “UDISE+ facilities module 2025‑26”. So by writing clear, helpful articles like this, your school (or if you manage many schools) can stay ahead. Also from an “EEAT” lens (Expertise, Experience, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness), you being transparent with your process, taking backups, and showing you follow the official steps builds trust with your district and state education bodies.

FAQ’s

UDISE+ is a comprehensive database system managed by the Ministry of Education that collects and tracks data on school facilities, students, and teachers across India. It’s important because it helps the government allocate resources effectively and ensures every school is properly funded.

You can access the UDISE+ portal by visiting the official site and logging in with your school’s 11-digit UDISE code and password provided by your district’s MIS coordinator.

You will need details about your school’s building, classrooms, toilets, drinking water supply, safety features (like ramps, fire exits), and overall infrastructure. Ensure you also update any changes, like new facilities or repairs.

If any major changes happen during the year, you can update the data in the next certification cycle. Keep all records and documentation for any updates made (e.g., renovation invoices, facility images).

If you miss a section or make an error, it can delay the certification process. The portal may flag incomplete fields. Make sure to review everything before submission. If you realize an error after submission, contact your district’s MIS coordinator to correct it.

School facility data needs to be certified every year. However, if any significant changes occur (like infrastructure upgrades), you should update the data as soon as possible.

Final Words

Certifying your school facilities in UDISE+ is more than just filling out a form; it’s about making sure your school gets the resources it needs for growth and development. With this certification, you not only align with government requirements but also ensure that your school’s facilities are recognized and maintained at the standard they deserve. It’s an investment in your school’s future, and the process, while detailed, is well worth it in the long run.
