NEET UG 2025 guidelines have been issued by the National Testing Agency, which stated that APAAR ID is not mandatory for the exam. NTA previously issued a public notice on January 14, 2025, where the candidates were urged to update their Aadhar card and link their AAPAR ID, which, as per the NTA, was known as the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC ID).
The AAPAR ID works as a digital repository for student’s academic credit. It ensures a detailed and collective record of the academic performance of students.
NTA has confirmed that the APAAR ID, which holds students’ credits now, is not a compulsory requirement for NEET UG 2025 registration. There are still alternative methods available to register for the examination. In the next update, detailed instructions will be provided for candidates.
HOW DOES THE APAAR ID WORKS?
After the confirmation by NTA that APAAR ID is mandatory for NEET UG 2025, the recommendation has been made by NTA that aspirants can still continue with the process to get the benefits of APAAR ID.
- The Aadhar linking supports the authorities in verification of candidates’ identities quickly and accurately, leading to a smoother examination process for exams.
- Linking of the AAdhar makes the information automatically filled and minimises the possibility of human faults, which makes the whole process smooth and efficient.
- Aadhar verification also enables the process of attendance fast at the examination centres, which ensures a reduce in wait times and a quick identification process.
- Aadhar verification also enables security for students by keeping their information recorded and saved through a unique identification process.
