The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued an important notice stating that APAAR ID is not mandatory for the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET UG) 2025. Referring to a recent public notice issued on January 14, 2025 candidates were urged to update their Aadhar details and link their APAAR ID, which was formerly known as the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC ID). The APAAR ID serves as a digital repository for a student’s academic credits, ensuring a comprehensive record of their academic progress.
APAAR ID Not Required for NEET UG 2025
It has been clarified that the APAAR ID is not a compulsory requirement for the NEET UG 2025 registration process. Applicants can still register for the examination through alternative methods. Detailed instructions on these options will be provided in the forthcoming information bulletin.
Benefits of APAAR ID
Though the integration of the APAAR ID is not mandatory for NEET UG 2025 registration, it is recommended that aspirants follow the process as it offers several benefits. Aadhaar integration provides valuable advantages for both candidates and the examination procedure.
- Streamlined application process: Aadhaar enables the automatic filling of candidate information, minimizing the likelihood of manual errors and making the application process more efficient.
- Improved examination efficiency: Linking Aadhaar helps authorities verify candidates’ identities quickly and accurately, leading to a smoother and more efficient examination experience.
- Quicker attendance verification: Aadhaar verification at the exam center accelerates the check-in process, reducing wait times and ensuring faster entry for candidates.
- Protection for candidates: Aadhaar authentication ensures each candidate is uniquely identified, protecting their interests and preventing identity fraud during the examination.
