National Highlights of the UDISEplus data 2021-22, 2022-23 to 2023-24

To make the analysis easy from the data-users point of view, UDISEPlus data for the years 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24, the National Highlight concerning all leading indicators, such as schools, enrolment, enrolment ratios (GER, NER, Adjusted-NER & Age-specific Enrolment Ratios), teachers & pupil-teacher ratio, transition rates, retention rates, etc. have been presented at one place which is followed by a brief analysis in Light of NEP 2020 Goals for Universal School Education is given by Prof. Arun C Mehta, Former Professor of EMIS at NIEPA, New Delhi. The data is presented at primary, upper primary, secondary, and higher secondary levels of education.

Data Source

The information presented below is compiled based on UDISEPlus data for 2021-22 to 2023-24. Efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the details; however, users are encouraged to refer to the official source at https://udiseplus.gov.in. The reference dates for the data are as follows: for UDISEPlus 2020-21 and UDISE 2021-22, it is 30th September 2020 and 30th September 2021, respectively, while for UDISEPlus 2022-23 and 2023-24, it is 31st March 2024, as reported in the respective reports released on 30th December 2024.

The reports caution that while UDISE 2022-23 and UDISE 2023-24 are comparable, the new data collection methodology (SDMIS) introduced in 2022-23 makes it incompatible with UDISEPlus 2021-22 and earlier data. However, upon reviewing the UDISEPlus 2022-23 report, it is noted that efficiency indicators, such as dropout, transition, and retention rates, have been computed. These calculations depend on the data from UDISEPlus 2021-22, making both data sets necessary for such analysis. Prof. Arun C. Mehta, a former professor at NIEPA who played a key role in the development of DISE/UDISE over 15 years, argues that despite the differences in data collection methodology, the indicators, rates, and ratios remain comparable; this is because they reflect the situation at a specific point in time, regardless of the data collection methodology used.
