These categories are further divided into 5 domains:
Released by: Department of School Education and Literacy (DoSE&L), Ministry of Education, was the one who came up with the idea.
Objective: To encourage the development of evidence-based policy and to bring attention to the need for course correction in order to guarantee that all students receive an education of a good enough quality.
The source of the data: The information for PGI 2020-21 comes from a number of places, including:
For Prelims: Current events of national and international importance.
For Mains: GS-Paper II- Issues relating to the development and management of Social Sector/Services relating to Health, Education, and Human Resources.
The report on the Performance Grading Index 2.0 for States/UTs for the year 2021-22 was been released recently by the Ministry of Education. The report uses a standard scoring system to evaluate the performance of the states and UTs.
The new framework of the PGI encompasses 70 indicators and places a greater emphasis on qualitative evaluation, which takes into account digital efforts as well as teacher education. Therefore, the grades and levels that were earned by states and UTs in the prior version of the PGIS cannot be compared to the grades and levels that were obtained in this current edition of the PGIS.
Performance
Gross enrolment ratio
A falling number of educational institutions
Infrastructure
The best possible results of schooling
The purpose of the PGI is to encourage states and union territories (UTs) to engage in multifaceted initiatives that will result in the much-desired achievement of optimal educational results across all dimensions.
Scope for improvement
It is anticipated that PGI will assist states and UTs in identifying areas where improvements are needed and, as a result, will assist these entities in prioritizing intervention areas. This will help to guarantee that the educational system is robust at every level.
The PGI scores and grades that States/UTs got in 2020-21 show how well the PGI system works. The PGI number for each indicator shows where a State needs to do better. The PGI will show how well each State or Union Territory is doing compared to the others on a single scale. This will urge them to do better and follow the best practices of those who are doing well.

The Performance Grading Index (PGI) is a scoring system that evaluates the performance of states and union territories (UTs) in school education based on various indicators across different domains, such as learning outcomes, access, infrastructure, equity, and governance process.
The objective of the PGI is to promote evidence-based policymaking and draw attention to the need for improvements in the education system to ensure quality education for all students.
The data for the PGI is collected from sources such as the Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+), National Achievement Survey (NAS), and information provided by the Management Information System (MIS) coordinators in each State/UT.
