Nipun Gujarat Baseline Survey 2026: Complete Guide to August 4-5 Assessment, PDF, Questionnaire & All Instructions
The Nipun Gujarat Baseline Survey 2026 is a landmark initiative by the Gujarat government aimed at strengthening foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) among primary school students across the state. Scheduled for August 4 and 5, 2026, this statewide assessment will evaluate students from Balvatika to Class 5 in government, grant-in-aid, and private primary schools. This
comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about the assessment, PDF questionnaires, schedule, instructions, and the broader Nipun Gujarat Abhiyan framework.
What is the Nipun Gujarat Abhiyan?
The Nipun Gujarat Abhiyan is a state-level mission aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the NIPUN Bharat Mission launched by the Government of India. The program aims to ensure that every child achieves foundational literacy and numeracy skills by the end of Grade 3, with the national deadline set for 2026-27.
The Gujarat government launched this campaign following the National PARAKH Survey 2024, which revealed significant learning gaps among schoolchildren, particularly in government schools. The Nipun Gujarat Abhiyan is designed to address these gaps through systematic assessment, remedial teaching, and targeted interventions.
Key Objectives of the Campaign:
• Universal foundational literacy and numeracy for all children
• Strengthening reading, writing, and basic mathematical skills
• Creating “Nipun” (proficient) children through quality education
• Implementing NEP 2020’s vision at the state level
Nipun Gujarat Baseline Survey 2026 Overview
The baseline survey serves as the first critical step in the annual assessment cycle. Its primary purpose is to determine the current learning levels of students so that teachers can provide individualized remedial education based on each child’s needs.

Detailed Schedule and Subject Breakdown
Day 1: August 4, 2026 (Tuesday) – Gujarati Language Assessment
The first day of the baseline survey focuses on Gujarati language skills. Students will be assessed on:

The second day is dedicated to Mathematics, evaluating students on:
• Numeracy skills – basic number sense and mathematical operations
• Foundational mathematical concepts appropriate for each grade level
Similar to Day 1, the mathematics question papers will be delivered to schools at 6:45 AM.
PDF Questionnaires and Assessment Materials
How to Access the PDF Question Papers
According to official guidelines, all assessment materials are made available through the GCERT web portal. Schools can download the soft copies and take prints as needed. The key instructions regarding materials include:
1. Download from GCERT Portal – All literature and question papers are available in soft copy format
2. Printing Guidelines – Print targets in black and white and file them class-wise
3. Teacher Guides – Teacher guides (especially for Classes 3-5) should be printed in color (or black and white) and bound like a book for preservation and use
4. Tracker/Ledger – The tracker must be preserved for three years and printed on glossy cover pages with appropriate GSM paper
What the Questionnaire Includes
The assessment questionnaires are designed to evaluate foundational skills rather than rote memorization. While specific question papers for 2026 are distributed directly to schools via email and the GCERT portal, they typically cover:
• Gujarati: Letter recognition, word reading, sentence reading, comprehension, and writing exercises
• Mathematics: Number recognition, counting, basic addition and subtraction, and problem-solving
The assessment focuses on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) competencies, which are the cornerstone of the NIPUN mission.
All Instructions for Teachers and Schools
Pre-Assessment Preparations
5. Material Preparation – Download all necessary materials from the GCERT portal in advance
6. Printing – Ensure all question papers, teacher guides, and trackers are printed and organized before the assessment days
7. Classroom Arrangement – Set up the classroom to facilitate smooth assessment
During the Assessment
8. Timing – Question papers will be available at 6:45 AM on both days
9. Fair and Transparent Evaluation – Teachers must conduct accurate, impartial, and transparent assessments
10. No Child Left Behind – The assessment must be conducted for every student present
Handling Absent Students
The GCERT guidelines provide clear instructions for students who are absent on the assessment days:
If any student remains absent on August 4 or 5 due to unavoidable reasons, the class teacher must assess the student whenever they return to school
This ensures that no child in the state is left out of the assessment process.
External Evaluation and Quality Check
Within one week of completing the baseline survey, an external evaluation (third-party assessment) will be conducted to verify the quality and accuracy of the assessment results. This external evaluation serves as a quality check mechanism to ensure:
• The integrity of the assessment process
• Accurate recording of student performance
• Reliable data for educational planning
What Happens After the Baseline Survey?
Data Entry and Tracking
Following the assessment, teachers must:
11. Enter student data online through the designated portal
12. Maintain trackers for three years, recording each student’s progress
13. Preserve all assessment materials for future reference
Remedial Teaching and Interventions
The baseline survey is not just an assessment—it’s a diagnostic tool for improving education. Based on the results:
14. Identify Learning Gaps – Teachers can identify which students need additional support in specific areas
15. Individualized Remedial Teaching – Provide targeted remedial education based on each student’s needs
16. Midline and Endline Assessments – The baseline is followed by midline and endline assessments to track progress throughout the academic year
The 55-Day Nipun Campaign
Following the baseline survey and data entry, a 55-day Nipun campaign will be conducted from August 17 to September 5, 2026. During this period:
• Intensive remedial teaching will be provided
• Focus will be on bridging learning gaps identified in the baseline survey
• Students will receive additional support to achieve proficiency
