CBSE announces APAAR ID implementation for streamlined student identification

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the implementation of the Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR) ID as the primary identifier for students in affiliated schools.

The official notice can be found on CBSE's website at cbse.gov.in.

According to the notice, the process of implementing the APAAR ID in schools will involve six steps:

Step 1: Organize PTMs – Schools will hold Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) to introduce the APAAR ID, explaining its significance and benefits to both parents and students.

Step 2: Distribution and Collection of Consent Forms – Schools must distribute physical consent forms to parents, who will sign them to authorize the use of Aadhaar details for generating APAAR IDs.

Step 3: Verification of Student Data – School authorities will verify the accuracy of student information, including name, date of birth, and Aadhaar number, on the Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE+) portal.

Step 4: APAAR ID Generation – Using the UDISE+ portal, schools will generate APAAR IDs, which will be securely linked to students' Digilocker accounts. Once generated, a confirmation SMS will be sent to parents.

Step 5: Distribution and Integration – Schools will provide the generated APAAR IDs to students and parents.

Step 6: Handling Errors – In case of any discrepancies, schools will guide parents to Common Service Centres (CSCs) for corrections.

"APAAR ID Monitoring (AIM)," an online system created by the Board, is used to track APAAR ID creations in schools connected to the CBSE.

Additionally, the helpline number has been established so that schools can contact it if they need assistance.

The toll-free helpline number is 1800-889-3511. For further information, candidates can visit the official CBSE website.
