The APAAR ID implementation process in schools will involve six steps:

Step 1: Conduct Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs)

Schools will organize PTMs to introduce the APAAR ID system, explaining its importance and benefits to parents and students.

Step 2: Distribution and Collection of Consent Forms

Schools will distribute physical consent forms to parents, who must sign and authorize the use of Aadhaar details for generating the APAAR ID.

Step 3: Student Data Verification

School officials will verify details like the student’s name, date of birth, and Aadhaar number on the UDISE+ portal.

Step 4: APAAR ID Generation

Schools will generate the APAAR IDs via the UDISE+ portal, which will be securely linked to the students’ DigiLocker accounts. A confirmation SMS will be sent to the parents once the process is complete.

Step 5: Distribution and Integration

Schools will provide the APAAR IDs to students and parents.

Step 6: Correction of Errors

In case of discrepancies, schools will guide parents to the Common Service Center (CSC) for corrections.

What is APAAR ID?

APAAR ID stands for Automatic Permanent Academic Account Registry. It is a digital system designed to store the complete academic details of students. This ID will securely record a student’s academic credits and provide a comprehensive history of their academic journey.

As per an official notification released by NTA, candidates were earlier asked to update their Aadhaar credentials and link them with their APAAR ID.
