Subject: Implementation of APAAR ID as the Primary Identifier for students of CBSE Affiliated Schools
In alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the vision of the Hon’ble Prime Minister for a ‘Digital India,’ the Ministry of Education (MoE) is implementing the Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR) ID system for students. This initiative aims to create a seamless, lifelong digital identity for every student, promoting transparency, accountability, and efficiency in academic record management.
What is APAAR ID?
APAAR ID is a unique 12-digit identifier designed to consolidate students’ academic and extracurricular records in a single secure digital platform . Integrated with the DigiLocker ecosystem, it allows students to store and access their achievements, exam results, learning outcomes, and participation in activities such as Olympiads, sports, and skill training. This system also supports the “One Nation, One Student ID” initiative, ensuring continuity and accessibility throughout a student’s educational journey.
The APAAR ID system ensures data confidentiality, with all sensitive data masked while sharing with authorized entities, adhering to the highest standards of security and privacy.
Key Objectives:
- To provide a unified record of students’ academic and non-academic achievements.
- To enable data-driven decision-making for personalized learning and effective policy planning.
- To support seamless transitions during inter-school transfers or changes in states/districts.
Benefits of APAAR ID:
1. Unified Tracking: Facilitates comprehensive monitoring of students’ educational journeys, aiding in the reduction of dropout rates and improvement of learning outcomes.
2. Digital Integration: Directly Jinks with DigiLocker for storing academic records and extracurricular achievements.
3. Data-Driven Insights: Consolidates academic, attendance, and performance data for real-time analytics and predictive interventions.
4. Ease of Transitions: Simplifies the transfer of academic records across schools, districts, or states.
5. Enhancing Education Systems: APAAR ID integration with Vidya Samiksha Kendra enables detailed analysis of educational outcomes.
6. Entrance Test and Admission Support: Serves as the primary identifier for exams like JEE, NEET, and CUET, simplifying processes for students and institutions.
APAAR ID Implementation Process for Schools:
- Step 1: Conduct Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs): Schools should arrange PTMs to introduce APAAR ID, explaining its significance and benefits to parents and students.
- Step 2: Consent Form Distribution and Collection: Schools must distribute physical consent forms to parents, who need to sign and submit these forms to authorize the use of Aadhaar details for generating APAAR IDs.
- Step 3: Student Data Verification: School authorities should verify student details (e.g., name, date of birth, Aadhaar number) on the UDISE+ portal for accuracy.
- Step 4: APAAR ID Generation: Using the UDISE+ portal, schools will generate APAAR IDs, which will be securely linked to students’ DigiLocker accounts. Confirmation SMS will be sent to parents.
- Step 5:Distribution and Integration: Schools will provide APAAR IDs to students and parents, ensuring they are included on school ID cards and integrated into the school’s IT systems.
- Step 6: Add ressing Errors: If any discrepancies arise, schools should guide parents to Common Service Centres (CSCs) for corrections.
Actionable Points for Schools:
- Ensure APAAR ID creation for all students prioritizing Classes IX to XII.
- Ensure accurate data entry in the UDISE+ portal.
- Maintain alignment of student data with Aadhaar records for accuracy.
- Regularly update school IT systems to support APAAR ID integration.
- Collect testimonials and feedback from students, parents, and teachers on APAAR ID usage.
- Conduct awareness sessions during PTMs, using material and videos available at https://apaar.education. gov.in/resource .
Support and Helpline:
- Comprehensive implementation toolkits, multilingual resources, and guidelines are available at https ://apaar.education.gov.in/resource . Schools can also contact the toll-free helpline 1800-889-3511for assistance.
- For more clarity FAQs are enclosed. APAAR ID Monitoring by CBSE
CBSE has developed an online system “APAAR ID Monitoring (AIM)” for monitoring APAAR ID creations in schools affiliated to the CBSE. Schools are requested to regularly update information on AIM Portal available on CBSE website.
The implementation of APAAR ID represents a significant milestone inachieving the goals set forth in NEP 2020. Schools are expected to demonstrate full participation in this transformative initiative, ensuring 100% saturation of APAAR IDs for all students. This program will serve as a “game-changer” in creating a transparent, efficient, and stakeholder-friendly educational ecosystem. Schools are requested to accord top priority to this initiative.
