U-Rise: UP’s initiative to aid students with academics & jobs

U Rise Portal

In a significant move to empower the students in Uttar Pradesh to fetch good jobs easily, the Government of Uttar Pradesh launched ‘U-Rise’ portal on September 24.  Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath rolled out the online portal which hosts a database of around 20 lakh engineering and vocational courses students and aid them with study material and fetching employment.

The portal holds data of the student from the time he/she gets enrolled on the portal until they get employed. Moreover, the portal hosts an e-library which can be accessed by students from anywhere. This enables the students to access quality study material even in the remotest districts of the state.

U-Rise portal has been developed by Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University and is a joint initiative by the technical education department, training and employment department and skill development mission.
