UDISE+ Bihar Login 2026-27: School Code, SDMS Data Entry & Complete State Guide
Bihar’s school education system is under the national spotlight — and for good reason. UDISE+ Bihar Login 2026-27 is the entry point to a data ecosystem covering approximately 75,000 schools and 2.11 crore enrolled students. Consequently, accurate data submission directly determines how Samagra Shiksha funds, teacher posts, and infrastructure grants flow into the state.
Moreover, Bihar recorded a significant enrollment decline — from 2.74 crore in 2021-22 to 2.11 crore in 2024-25 — largely driven by ghost student data correction. Therefore, clean, verified UDISE+ entries in 2026-27 carry more weight than ever for Bihar’s resource allocation.
2026-27 Mandatory Change: Every enrolled student must have an APAAR ID — a 12-digit Aadhaar-linked academic identity — generated via SDMS before the data entry deadline. Additionally, Bihar schools must ensure ghost students removed in previous years are not re-entered. Data integrity checks are stricter in 2026-27.
Bihar School Education Data: UDISE+ 2024-25 Analysis
Bihar’s UDISE+ 2024-25 data tells a story of structural correction after years of inflated figures. Understanding these numbers helps data-entry operators enter the right figures — not the old ones.
Key trend: Bihar’s total enrollment fell 23% from 2021-22 to 2024-25 — from 2.74 crore to 2.11 crore students. Researchers attribute most of this to ghost student data correction, not actual dropout. However, Bihar’s upper primary dropout rate of 9.3% remains among India’s highest and reflects a real retention challenge that UDISE+ data directly informs.
What This Means for 2026-27 Data Entry
- Do not re-enter removed ghost students — the system flags duplicates against Aadhaar-linked APAAR IDs
- PTR accuracy is critical — Bihar’s 26:1 ratio is above the national norm; accurate teacher counts directly affect new post sanctions
- Private school growth — private unaided institutions grew to 12.10% share in Bihar; ensure correct management type is selected
- Transition rate tracking — Bihar’s 71.8% Class 8 to 9 transition rate is below national average; SDMS progression data feeds this metric
UDISE+ Bihar Login 2026-27: Step-by-Step
Bihar uses the standard UDISE+ all-modules login. Notably, Bihar has separate data entry workflows for Basic Education (Classes 1-8) and Secondary Education (Classes 9-12). Therefore, selecting the correct module before entering credentials prevents the most common login failures.
-
Open udiseplus.gov.in in Chrome or Firefox
Avoid Internet Explorer and older Edge. The 2026 portal requires a modern browser for captcha and module selection to function correctly. -
Click “Login for All Modules”
This button appears on the homepage. Do not use old bookmarks — they redirect incorrectly on the 2026 interface. -
Select Bihar from the state dropdown
This routes you to Bihar’s state-specific server. Selecting any other state causes invalid credential errors even with correct login details. -
Choose your module
Select School Profile & Facilities, SDMS (Student Module), Teacher Module, or UD Module based on your role. Bihar Basic Education schools and Secondary schools use the same portal but different credential sets. -
Enter your 11-digit UDISE code as username
All Bihar codes begin with 10. Use the UDISE Code Finder if you need to verify your code. -
Enter password and captcha
School Profile passwords come from your Block Resource Centre (BRC). SDMS passwords come from your District Programme Coordinator (DPC) or Block Resource Person (BRP). The captcha is case-sensitive. -
Click Login and verify your dashboard
Confirm your school name, UDISE code, and district appear at the top. If the dashboard shows a different school, recheck your 11-digit code using the Code Finder.
Bihar-specific tip: Bihar’s SDMS server experiences significant load during August-September. Consequently, complete Student Progression by the last week of June. Additionally, save every section every 10 minutes — Bihar’s session timeout is shorter than most states. Furthermore, avoid login attempts between 10 AM and 3 PM during deadline week.
UDISE Code Structure for Bihar Schools
Every Bihar school carries an 11-digit UDISE code. If your code does not begin with 10, it belongs to a different state. Verify before logging in.

SDMS Login for Bihar Schools: Student Data Entry 2026-27
The Student Database Management System (SDMS) at sdms.udiseplus.gov.in carries the heaviest workload for Bihar schools in 2026-27. Student Progression must complete first — before any other SDMS task. Furthermore, APAAR ID generation is mandatory for every student.
What Bihar Schools Must Complete in SDMS This Session
- Student Progression — mark every 2025-26 student as promoted, detained, transferred, or dropped out. This must complete before new admissions entry
- Ghost Student Verification — Bihar-specific step: cross-check enrollment against Aadhaar records before finalising progression data
- New Admissions Entry — record newly enrolled students with General Profile (GP), Enrollment Profile (EP), and Student Facilities (SF)
- APAAR ID Generation — link every student to a 12-digit APAAR ID via Aadhaar-based verification
- Data Certification and Freezing — certify and freeze before state deadline to prevent automatic null entries
Bihar-specific warning: Do not re-enter students whose records were cleaned in 2023-24 or 2024-25 ghost student correction drives. The APAAR ID verification system will flag these as duplicates and block your data certification.
Password Reset Process in Bihar
- School Profile Module — contact your Block Resource Centre (BRC) or Block MIS Coordinator directly. They issue and reset School Profile passwords at the block level
- SDMS Module — contact your District Programme Coordinator (DPC) or Block Resource Person (BRP). SDMS credentials are managed at district level in Bihar
- If block-level support fails — email udiseplus@nic.in or call the national helpdesk at 011-24305493 with your school’s UDISE code and district name

UDISE+ 2026-27 Data Entry Calendar for Bihar Schools
Bihar follows the national UDISE+ calendar. However, complete each phase two weeks ahead of the national deadline to avoid Bihar’s peak-season server congestion.
| Phase | Period | Action Required | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Student Progression | June–July 2026 | Certify all 2025-26 outcomes + ghost student verification | Critical First |
| New Admissions + APAAR ID | July–August 2026 | Enter new students; generate APAAR IDs for all | High |
| School Profile Update | August–September 2026 | Update infrastructure, facilities, enrollment figures | High |
| Teacher Module | August–September 2026 | Update teacher records, training status, Digital Audit | High |
| Reference Date Freeze | 30 September 2026 | All data must reflect school condition on this date | Hard Deadline |
| Data Certification | October–November 2026 | BEO review, DEO validation, final data lock | Medium |
Bihar best practice: Complete Student Progression and ghost student verification by the third week of June. Bihar’s SDMS server consistently slows in August–September. Schools finishing early report zero data-save failures and zero deadline-week credential issues.
