How to Get a Permanent Education Number (PEN)

A Permanent Education Number (PEN) is a unique 12-digit code assigned to students in India to digitally store, manage, and access all academic credits, degrees, diplomas, certificates, training details, and co-curricular certificates.




Here's how you can typically obtain your PEN:

  1. Through Your School:

    • School Records: Your school should have your PEN. Contact your school's administrative office to inquire about it.
    • UDISE+ Portal: Schools often use the UDISE+ portal to manage student data, including PENs. Your school can provide you with your PEN from this portal.
  2. Through the UDISE+ Portal:

    • Direct Access: If you have access to the UDISE+ portal, you can search for your PEN using your personal details like name, date of birth, and Aadhaar number.
    • School's Assistance: If you don't have direct access, you can request your school to retrieve your PEN from the UDISE+ portal.
  3. Contact the State Education Board:

    • If you're unable to obtain your PEN through your school or the UDISE+ portal, you can contact your state's education board. They can provide you with information on how to retrieve your PEN or assist you in the process.

Why is a PEN Important?

  • Digital Record: It serves as a unique identifier for your academic records.

  • Portability: It can be used across different educational institutions.
  • Ease of Access: It simplifies the process of accessing academic transcripts and certificates.

Note: The specific process for obtaining a PEN may vary slightly depending on your state and educational board.
