What Does “School Missing” Mean in UDISE+?
When your school appears as “missing” in the UDISE+ portal, it means the system does not recognise your school’s status‑entry for the given academic year. In other words, your school’s data—from the School Profile or Facilities module—has not been recorded or validated, so your school code may not show up in the active list.
This is a big deal because it can prevent student/teacher data entry, block access to schemes and allocations, and skew your school’s reports.
Why Your School Might Be Showing as Missing
Here are some common reasons this happens:
What You Can Do — Step by Step Checklist
Here’s what to do if your school is showing as missing. Think of it like a friendly to‑do list you can follow.
Check that the UDISE code you are using is correct, entered without typos, and matches the one your district has registered.
Cross‑check with your district MIS or state school directory to confirm the code.
Log into the UDISE+ portal and see if the “School Profile & Facilities” module is locked, certified, or still In‑Working.
If the previous academic year’s data wasn’t certified, update it, save & certify it now.
Ask: Did your school merge, change board affiliation, or get upgraded/closed recently?
If yes, then this change must be updated in the portal: switch school management type or request new school code.
If none of the above fixed the issue, reach out to your Block MIS or District MIS officer with: school code, academic year, issue (“School shows missing”), screenshot if possible.
Ask them to check whether your school is in “Inactive/Not‑working” status in the district database and request activation.
Once the school is active, enter data for the current year: school profile, infrastructure, teacher module etc.
Save and certify each module so that, moving forward, your school will appear in the system correctly.
Pro Tips to Prevent Your School Getting Marked Missing
At the start of the academic year, schedule a data‑entry date for your School Profile & Facilities module.
Keep a checklist: “Did we certify last year? Is our code correct? Are we aware of any change in school status?”
Maintain communication with your district MIS before deadlines so you’re ahead of any system lock‑in.
Create a simple internal register: list your UDISE code, date of last certification, next due date. Keeps things transparent.
If your school changed (board, management, merger), document the change and send proof to the district MIS so your portal status updates smoothly.
What Could Happen If You Ignore the “Missing” Status
Student and teacher modules may be locked out for your school—so you won’t be able to input enrollment or staff data.
Your school may become invisible in district/state reports, affecting resource allocation, funding, or scheme eligibility.
Time‑sensitive deadlines for data entry may pass, leading to penalties or being marked inactive.
Down the line, transferring students or updating staff will be harder since the school isn’t active in the system.

Final Words
If your school is showing as “missing” in UDISE+, treat it as a priority issue, not just a system glitch. The problem may look technical, but the fix comes down to correct code, completed profile & facilities submission, active status, and good coordination with your Block/District MIS.
Think of UDISE+ as not just a compliance portal, but as a door to resources, recognition and smooth student/teacher records. By fixing this early, you’ll avoid disruptions later—making your school’s data strong, your teachers’ work easier, and your students’ records secure.
