In a significant move towards digitizing student data management, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a detailed notice on the implementation of the Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR ID) for students at affiliated schools. The APAAR ID will serve as the primary identifier for students across CBSE schools, aiming to streamline administrative processes and improve data management.
According to the official notice, the implementation of the APAAR ID will be carried out in six key steps:
- Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs)
Schools will begin the process by holding PTMs to introduce the concept of APAAR ID to parents and explain its significance and benefits. - Consent Form Distribution and Collection
Physical consent forms will be distributed to parents, seeking their approval to use Aadhaar details for generating APAAR IDs for their children. - Student Data Verification
To ensure accurate records, school authorities will verify student details such as name, date of birth, and Aadhaar number through the UDISe+ portal. - APAAR ID Generation
Once verified, schools will generate APAAR IDs using the UDISE+ portal, securely linking them to students’ Digilocker accounts. A confirmation SMS will be sent to parents once the process is completed. - Distribution and Integration
The generated APAAR IDs will be issued to both students and their parents for future reference. - Resolving Errors
In case of any discrepancies in the details, schools will guide parents to Common Service Centres (CSCs) for necessary corrections.
Additionally, CBSE has launched the APAAR ID Monitoring (AIM) platform to oversee the creation of APAAR IDs and track progress across schools. A toll-free helpline number 1800-889-3511 has also been activated to assist schools with any queries regarding the process.
The introduction of APAAR ID is expected to simplify student identification across CBSE-affiliated schools, ensuring secure and accurate data management in line with the board’s digital initiatives.
