“NTA Integrates APAAR ID and Aadhaar for NEET UG 2025 Registration”
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the integration of the Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR) ID with the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) Undergraduate (UG) 2025 registration process.
Understanding APAAR ID:
The APAAR ID is a unique identifier assigned to each candidate, facilitating streamlined tracking of academic records and ensuring a more efficient examination process.
Importance of Aadhaar Integration:
To enhance the integrity and efficiency of the examination process, the NTA emphasizes the use of Aadhaar-based authentication. Candidates are advised to update their Aadhaar details, ensuring that information such as name and date of birth matches their Class 10 Marksheet or Passing Certificate. Additionally, linking Aadhaar to a valid mobile number is crucial for OTP-based authentication.
Benefits of Aadhaar Integration:
Simplified Application Process: Using Aadhaar helps in auto-populating details, thereby reducing manual errors during application submission.
Enhanced Examination Efficiency: Advancements in Aadhaar-based technology, such as the Face Authentication Method introduced by UIDAI, provide faster identity verification.
Faster Attendance Verification: Facial recognition technology ensures quicker and more accurate identity verification, facilitating smooth entry into the exam hall.
Welfare of Candidates: Aadhaar ensures candidates are uniquely identified, safeguarding their interests throughout the examination lifecycle.
Action Steps for Candidates:
Update Aadhaar Details: Visit the nearest Aadhaar Enrolment /Update Centre to ensure that your Aadhaar information aligns with your official academic records.
Link Aadhaar to a Valid Mobile Number: This is essential for OTP-based authentication during the application and examination processes.
