NTA introduces new NEET 2025 guidelines to streamline registration with APAAR ID and Aadhaar

New guidelines for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) NEET (UG)-2025 registration process have been released by the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education.

These guidelines place a strong emphasis on the examination process's integration with the APAAR ID (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry).

By promoting the usage of both APAAR ID and Aadhaar-based identification during the application and exam phases, this effort seeks to guarantee a smooth experience for candidates.

Aadhaar integration brings significant advantages for both candidates and the examination process.

The unique identification number facilitates a simplified application process by ensuring automatic population of candidate details, reducing the chances of manual errors, and streamlining the application process.

It also enhances examination efficiency, as linking Aadhaar allows authorities to verify candidates’ identities efficiently and accurately, making the entire examination experience smoother.

Additionally, Aadhaar speeds up attendance verification at the exam center, ensuring quicker entry and reducing wait times.

Lastly, Aadhaar authentication guarantees that candidates are uniquely identified, safeguarding their interests and preventing identity fraud during the examination.

“Updated credentials are highly recommended for ease of verification, the registration process, and to enhance the integrity of the examination process. NEET (UG)-2025 registration process shall be starting in due course of time,” reads the official notice.

“Candidates are advised to update their credentials in Aadhar, preferably as per their 10 Marksheet/Passing Certificate. Also, ensure your Aadhaar is linked with a valid mobile number for OTP-based authentication," it added.

To ensure smooth participation in NEET (UG)-2025, candidates must verify that their Aadhaar details, such as their name and date of birth, are accurate.

Linking Aadhaar to a valid mobile number is essential for OTP-based authentication during both the application and examination processes.

Additionally, the introduction of face authentication by UIDAI will enable faster and more accurate identity verification, ensuring seamless entry into the exam hall.

The examination process is made more effective, transparent, and secure for candidates by integrating their APAAR ID with Aadhaar.

It improves the integrity and legitimacy of the examination lifecycle in addition to making the verification stages easier.

Exam administrations may guarantee accurate candidate recognition and drastically cut down on fraud and errors by utilizing Aadhaar as the primary identifier.
