Why do two official datasets disagree?

Two credible sources can disagree because they cover different people, events or periods. Identify how each number was produced before choosing between them.

Research checked 14 October 2026 · 3 min read · v3.0.0

A department reports that nearly every school has a facility. A household survey finds a serious learning gap. These statements do not necessarily conflict. A facility and a learning outcome are different things, measured through different systems.

Administrative data is generated through operating or reporting systems: enrolment records, applications, inspections or payments, for example. A survey collects information using a designed set of questions and a specified sample or population. The distinction describes how information is produced, not an automatic ranking of truthfulness.

Start with the unit being counted

Ask whether a row represents a person, household, school, application, transaction or event. One person may generate several applications. One school may report many facilities. Adding rows is not always a count of distinct people.

Then identify who is outside the system. An applicant database cannot, without additional evidence, tell you how many eligible people never applied. A record of completed inspections is not a census of every potentially non-compliant site.

These are coverage questions, not reasons to discard the records. A source can be useful for one question and insufficient for another.

A school-data example

The Education Ministry’s UDISE+ 2025–26 release reports teacher and school-facility indicators. Its tables can support a statement about the reported count or percentage in that system. They do not directly establish that every listed facility worked each day or that pupils mastered a particular skill. 1 2

ASER’s basic survey instead visits rural households and assesses basic reading and arithmetic among children aged 5–16, alongside enrolment information for ages 3–16. Its household approach can reach children outside school, but this basic rural design does not represent all urban children. 3

Do not describe one source as disproving the other until the indicator, population and period actually match.

Sampling error is only one possible problem

A sample estimate needs its design, weighting and uncertainty considered. Administrative totals may not have sampling error in the same sense, but can still contain missing records, duplicates, reporting incentives, delayed updates or changing definitions.

The appropriate question is which limitations the producer examined and disclosed. “A large database” does not answer that. Nor does “only a sample” establish that a carefully designed survey is useless.

For prices, MoSPI explains its market and village coverage and collection procedure. Knowing that procedure is part of interpreting the resulting national index; a handful of receipts follows a different selection process. 4

Build a compatibility check before a chart

For each series, record the producer, collection method, unit, geography, period, population, definition and revision status. Place those fields side by side.

A change in coverage can create an apparent trend. A new definition can make two identically named indicators non-comparable. When you cannot resolve the difference, show separate series with a clear break rather than joining the points into an apparently continuous line.

Missing values should remain missing with a reason. Do not replace an unavailable figure with zero or assume that an authority’s lack of centrally held records means the underlying activity never occurred.

The goal is a conclusion proportional to the measurement: this source records these events, or estimates this outcome for this population. Broader conclusions need broader evidence.

Source-linked data

School education: UDISE+ 2025–26 release tables

Official statistics — dated observations, not a live feed.

32 reported indicators across four academic years. Reference period: Academic years 2022–23 through 2025–26

Source is the original ministry release and its tables, not the inaccessible full national-report PDFs.
Administrative reporting does not independently establish daily facility functionality or student learning.
The narrative overstates uniform dropout decline: the middle-stage table increases from 3.5 to 3.6 in the last two years. Values are preserved.
NEP-stage labels are retained. Do not silently splice older stage definitions or infer indicator formulas absent the full methodology.
School availability percentages have their published indicator denominators; do not convert to counts using an unrelated school total.
