APAAR Card: Unlocking Opportunities for Students with a Unified Identity

The Central Government has now taken another step to facilitate students. An ID card will be created for each student, which will contain all their educational information. This ID card is named "AAPAR card."

AAPAR stands for "Automated Academic Permanent Account." This card will be prepared with the consent of parents.

What Does AAPAR Card Mean?

AAPAR card stands for "Automated Academic Permanent Account." This ID will be prepared for students in all schools across the country. It will also be used in the future admission process. Using the unique ID provided in this card, any school will be able to access a student's details.

What Information Will It Contain?

The AAPAR card will contain a wealth of information about the student, including their name, address, date of birth, photograph, educational loans, scholarships, children's sports activities, and awards. This complete information will be available in the ID. It is worth mentioning that students will be given an application form, which parents will need to fill out and submit. Even if a student has to change schools, it will not affect the card. The card number will remain the same. It will be necessary to use it in the future.

Benefits During Higher Education and Employment

It should be noted that the initiative of the AAPAR ID is in line with the New Education Policy (NEP 2020). This ID will also be linked to the student's Aadhar number. Several government schemes related to the AAPAR ID are also included. Through the AAPAR ID, students will receive a credit score. This will benefit them during higher education and employment. Reports suggest that it will also be used in entrance exams conducted by the National Testing Agency and other universities.
