UDISE Plus Submit Button Not Working 2026-27 – Reasons & How to Fix

Why is the UDISE Plus Submit Button Not Working?

The Send/Submit button in UDISE Plus is designed to prevent incomplete or incorrect data from being finalized. It stays disabled or non-responsive until every mandatory field is filled correctly and every section shows a completion status. If the button is greyed out, not clicking, or showing an error after clicking – there is a specific reason, and it can be fixed.

Problem 1–3: Incomplete or Invalid Data

Problem 1 – Mandatory Fields Left Empty
UDISE Plus has many mandatory fields marked with an asterisk (*). If even one mandatory field is empty, the system will not allow submission. The portal usually highlights these fields in red or shows an error message pointing to the exact field that needs to be filled.

What to do: Go back to each section and look for any field shown in red or marked as "Required". Fill all such fields and save each section before attempting to finalize the data again.

Problem 2 – Validation Error in Entered Data
Some data must follow specific rules. For example: enrollment numbers cannot be negative, date of birth cannot be in the future, teacher qualification cannot be left as "Select", and total boys + girls enrollment must match the total you entered. When these rules are violated, the system shows a validation error and blocks the process.

Problem 3 – Sub-Sections Not Completed
Each module in UDISE Plus has multiple sub-sections. A section may appear complete on the surface but have a sub-section that is still pending. For example, the School Profile module has sub-sections for basic info, infrastructure, WASH, grants, and facilities. All sub-sections must show a green tick before the main button activates.

Problem 4–5: Section Status and Locking Issues

Problem 4 – Section Showing "Pending" Despite Being Filled
Sometimes data is entered but not saved properly. The section shows pending because the save was not confirmed. Go back to that section, check if data is showing, and click "Save" again. If data is missing, re-enter it. The section status should update to complete once data is stored correctly.

Problem 5 – Data is Locked by Block or District
If your Block MIS Coordinator has started the verification process, some sections may be locked and you cannot make changes. If locked sections have errors, you need to contact the coordinator to unlock them before the data can be finalized.

Problem 6–7: Browser and Cache Problems

Problem 6 – Old Browser Cache Blocking the Action
If the button clicks but nothing happens (the page just reloads or spins), the issue is often your browser's old cached data conflicting with the portal. This is especially common if you have been using the portal for many days without clearing cache.

Fix: Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete in Chrome → Select "All time" → Check "Cookies" and "Cached images and files" → Click "Clear data". Close Chrome completely, reopen, and try finalizing the data again.

Problem 7 – Browser Extensions Blocking the Action
Ad blockers, script blockers, or other browser extensions can sometimes interfere with portal functionality. Try in an Incognito window (Ctrl+Shift+N) where extensions are disabled by default. If it works in Incognito, disable your browser extensions and try in the regular window.

Problem 8: Server Overload During Peak Season

Between October and December, lakhs of schools try to send their data at the same time. This heavy traffic can cause the server to slow down so much that the action results in a timeout error or the page freezes. This is not your fault and not a data problem.

What to do:

• Try between 5 AM and 7 AM – lowest server traffic of the day
• Avoid the 10 AM to 6 PM window during the last week before deadline
• Do not refresh the page while the process is in progress – wait for the result
• If it times out, check your dashboard before retrying – the data may have gone through

Pre-Submission Checklist – Complete Before Clicking Submit

1. All sections show green tick or complete status in the dashboard
2. Student enrollment counts match class-wise totals (boys + girls = total)
3. All teacher records have valid Aadhaar and PEN number
4. School profile sections (infrastructure, WASH, grants) are all filled
5. APAAR IDs generated for all students (or pending noted with reason)
6. No red error messages visible on any page
7. Browser is Google Chrome, updated to latest version
8. Internet connection is stable (not mobile data – use broadband if possible)

What Happens After You Click Submit?

After successful submission, the following happens:

• Your dashboard shows the module status as "Submitted"
• Data moves to your Block MIS Coordinator's queue for verification
• You receive a submission confirmation on screen (and sometimes via SMS)
• You can view but not edit the submitted data until Block MIS Coordinator unlocks it

What to Do If Submission Fails After the Deadline?

Block MIS Coordinators can in some cases escalate to the district to request a deadline extension for specific schools facing genuine technical issues. However, this is at the discretion of the district and state education department. The sooner you report, the better the chances of a resolution.
