The National Student Index (NSI) is a database, system and a set of processes used to assign all tertiary students and National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) candidates with a unique identifier, the National Student Number (NSN).
NSNs must be included for every student reported to the Ministry of Education in a Single Data Return (SDR). This will allow student information to be linked together, even if different TEOs report it in different years, so that accurate data about student characteristics and paths of study is recorded.
