What is Data Freeze in UDISE Plus?
Data freeze in UDISE Plus means your submitted student data has been locked at a particular level and can no longer be edited without approval. Freeze does not happen all at once â it happens in stages as your data moves through the verification chain.
| Stage | Who Locks It | Can You Edit? |
|---|---|---|
| Before Submission | Not locked | Yes, freely |
| After School Submission | School (you) | Need Block unlock |
| After Block Certification | Block MIS Coordinator | Need District unlock |
| After District Certification | District Education Officer | Need State approval â very difficult |
| After State Submission to MoE | Ministry of Education | Not possible |
What Can Be Corrected After Data Freeze?
Not all changes are treated equally. Some are straightforward; others require strong supporting documents. Here is what is typically allowed at each stage:
| Type of Change | Block Level | District Level |
|---|---|---|
| Student name spelling error | â Allowed with documents | â Allowed with documents |
| Date of birth fix | â With birth certificate | â With birth certificate |
| Wrong class entry | â Allowed | â Allowed |
| Enrollment count mismatch | â With admission register | â With evidence |
| APAAR ID update | â Allowed | â Allowed |
| Removing a non-existent student | â With explanation | â With evidence |
| School-level structural change | â Not at block level | â ī¸ Very limited |
What Cannot Be Changed After District Certification?
Once data is certified at district level and sent to the state, the following are extremely difficult or impossible to change:
- Total student enrollment numbers (changes the district's official data)
- School infrastructure data already certified
- Teacher headcount data
- UDISE school code or school name
Step 1 â How to Request Unlock from Block MIS Coordinator
The Block MIS Coordinator (also called BRC/CRC coordinator in some states) is your first point of contact for any fix after data submission.
When you contact them, provide:
- Your school's UDISE code and school name
- Name of the student whose record needs updating
- Exact error â what was entered vs. what it should be
- Supporting document â Aadhaar card, birth certificate, or admission register
- Written request (a simple letter or email works in most states)
You can contact the Block MIS Coordinator in person at the BRC office, by phone, or by email depending on your state's process. In-person visits with documents get faster results.
Step 2 â Block Level Unlock Process
After receiving your request, the Block MIS Coordinator will:
- Review your request and supporting documents
- Verify the error in the UDISE Plus portal
- Unlock the specific student record for editing (not the entire school data)
- Inform you that the record is unlocked
- You log in and make the fix immediately
- After updating, re-submit the record
- Block MIS Coordinator re-verifies and re-certifies
Step 3 â District Level Unlock (If Block Certified)
If your Block MIS Coordinator has already certified your data and sent it to the District level, the block coordinator cannot unlock it anymore. In this case:
- Your Block MIS Coordinator must escalate to the District MIS Officer on your behalf
- Or you can directly contact the District Education Office with your request
- Bring all original documents supporting your amendment request
- District level processing takes longer â typically 3â7 working days
- The District Officer unlocks at block level, which then allows the coordinator to unlock your specific record
How Long Does the Process Take?
| Level | Typical Time | Depends On |
|---|---|---|
| Block unlock (simple errors) | 1â3 working days | Coordinator availability and workload |
| Block unlock (document needed) | 2â5 working days | Document verification time |
| District unlock | 3â7 working days | District office workload, season |
| State level approval | 2â4 weeks or more | State policy, urgency of the change |
