Mission Start 2.0 Shala Darpan: Weekly Table Entry
The Mission Start 2.0 initiative by the Rajasthan Education Department is a transformative step toward digitizing the academic landscape. For the 2025-26 academic session, the focus has shifted from mere infrastructure setup to active, trackable daily utilization of ICT Labs and Smart Classrooms.
As of February 11, 2026, the Directorate of Secondary Education, Bikaner, has mandated that every school must submit their Weekly Timetable Entry on the Shala Darpan portal. This ensures that digital resources are not just sitting idle but are actively helping students in Classes 9 to 12 prepare for their upcoming board exams.
Mission Start 2.0: Reporting Status (February 2026)
In the current reporting cycle, the portal has introduced high-frequency tracking. Schools are now judged on their “digital readiness” through these entries.
| Parameter | 2026 Current Update |
| Frequency | Weekly (Must be locked by Saturday evening) |
| Target Classes | Secondary & Senior Secondary (9th – 12th) |
| Mandatory Entry | Subject, Teacher Name, and e-Content Type |
| Verification | OTP-based Final Lock by Institutional Head |
Step-by-Step: How to Enter Mission Start 2.0 Weekly Timetable
The process has been streamlined on the Integrated Shala Darpan portal. Follow these steps for an error-free submission:
Step 1: Portal Navigation
- Visit the official Shala Darpan Portal.
- Use your school/office login credentials to enter the dashboard.
- Click on the “School” (विद्यालय) tab, then select the “Mission Start” sub-menu.
Step 2: Classroom & Subject Mapping
- Select the Class (9-12) and relevant Section.
- Map the subject teacher using their unique Staff NIC-SD ID.
- Pro Tip: Ensure the teacher’s subject mapping is already completed in the ‘Result’ tab, or their name will not appear in the dropdown menu.
Step 3: Period-wise Schedule Entry
- Enter the periods assigned for Smart Class/ICT Lab usage for each day (Monday to Saturday).
- Specify the digital medium being used: Mission Gyan, DIKSHA, e-Library, or self-prepared digital notes.
Step 4: Final Locking (The 2026 OTP Rule)
- Review the entries for any overlaps.
- Click the “Final Lock” button.
- Starting in 2026, an OTP is sent to the principal’s registered mobile number to prevent unauthorized or dummy entries. Enter the OTP to complete the submission.
Why Your Weekly Entry Matters
The Department of Education uses this data for more than just statistics. In 2026, Mission Start 2.0 data is directly linked to:
- Teacher Appraisal Format (TAF): ICT usage now contributes to a teacher’s professional performance grade.
- School Star Rating: Schools with 100% digital reporting receive higher rankings in the statewide database.
- Resource Allocation: Future hardware updates (new tablets/smart boards) are prioritized for schools showing high utilization rates.
Troubleshooting Common Mission Start 2.0 Errors
- “Error: No Subject Teacher Found”: This is the most common issue. Go to Staff -> Subject Teacher Mapping and ensure the data for the current 2025-26 session is updated.
- “Portal Not Loading”: The portal experiences high traffic between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. We recommend completing entries during the “Golden Hours” (before 9:00 AM or after 4:00 PM).
- “Invalid OTP”: If the OTP fails, check if the principal’s mobile number is correctly updated in Form 10.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the last date to enter the Mission Start 2.0 timetable?
Entries must be finalized and locked by the end of every week (Saturday). Delaying this can reflect a “Pending” status on the PEEO/DEO monitoring dashboard.
Can we use Mission Start for classes 1 to 8?
While the focus of 2.0 is on Classes 9-12 for board preparation, many schools use ICT labs for middle sections. However, the mandatory reporting on Shala Darpan is currently required for Classes 9-12.
Is the “Mission Start” entry mandatory even if the ICT Lab is under repair?
No. In case of hardware failure, you must update the “Functional Status” of your lab in the School Profile section first.
