Understanding the APAAR Card: Process, Prerequisites, and Advantages for Students

Aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the Government of India launched the Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR ID) in 2023. This system provides students with a digital identity to manage their academic records efficiently. The APAAR ID facilitates easy access to academic information and simplifies the process of transferring educational credentials between institutions, whether within India or abroad. The APAAR ID is a 12-digit code that serves as a digital repository for academic data, including scorecards, mark sheets, grade sheets, degrees, diplomas, certificates, and achievements in extracurricular activities. Students benefit from this system by ensuring smoother transitions between institutions and stages of education across various platforms. The application process requires adherence to specific prerequisites, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the data.
