APAAR ID

Context

Activists and parents have raised concerns over the rapid push by schools to generate APAAR IDs for students, despite its voluntary nature.

What is the APAAR ID?

  • APAAR (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry) is a key initiative under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 for maintaining academic records digitally.
  • APAAR is part of the "One Nation, One Student ID" initiative, designed to digitally store students’ academic records for seamless transition between schools and higher education institutions.
  • It is linked to Aadhaar and stored in DigiLocker, making it easier for institutions to verify academic credentials.
  • The Education Ministry has directed CBSE-affiliated schools and some state boards to achieve 100% enrolment of students in APAAR.
  • Is APAAR Mandatory? Officially, APAAR is voluntary. However, CBSE circulars and state directives do not clearly inform parents of this.
