Important Updates
Registration No Longer Requires APAAR ID
Initially, the NTA required the APAAR ID for NEET UG 2025 registration; however, this is no longer a necessity. The exam will be conducted offline, and the NEET UG scores are crucial for admissions into MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, B.Sc. Nursing, BVSc, and AH undergraduate courses.
Understanding APAAR ID
The APAAR ID is a unique educational identification system implemented under the National Education Policy 2020 by the Ministry of Education. Also known as the “One Nation One Student ID,” it aims to maintain comprehensive records of student details from school to higher education and digitize the education system.
