  • "Name Not Found": This usually happens if the teacher is newly appointed and data is still being processed, or if they are on a contract basis (Niyojit) and the data hasn't been synced to the public server yet.
  • Wrong School Displayed: If a teacher has been transferred recently, the directory may take time to update. It reflects the "Current Posting" based on the latest Paybill/PFMS data.
  • Site Not Loading: Government websites often face heavy traffic during working hours. Try accessing the site early in the morning or late at night.

Month 2: Acquire existing electronic datasets (UDISE+, HR/payroll).
