1. APAAR ID
APAAR ID, or Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry ID, is a unique 12-digit identification number that allows students to maintain their comprehensive academic records in a digital format by linking them to the DigiLocker system. This includes certificates, mark sheets, extracurricular achievements, and more.
School authorities will organise PTA meetings to inform students and their parents about the APAAR ID facility and assist in obtaining APAAR IDs, particularly for students from Classes 9 to 12. Detailed information regarding APAAR ID is available on the official website https://apaar.education.gov.in or by contacting the helpline at 1800-889-3511.
APAAR ID serves as a valuable digital record for students throughout their academic journey. It also benefits educational institutions by streamlining processes such as admissions and credit transfers.
