APAAR ID Deadline Looms: Students Must Register by January 31st for NEP Benefits

• The government has set January 31st as the final deadline for 10th, 12th, and graduation students to create their APAAR ID.
• APAAR ID, or 'Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry', is a 12-digit unique number for each student, central to the National Education Policy.
• It digitally stores all academic details, mark sheets, and certificates in one place, similar to an Aadhaar card, eliminating the fear of losing documents.
• Students need to visit apaar.education.gov.in, log in or register, and provide details like UDISE PEN, name, date of birth, and Aadhaar number.
• Parental consent is required, and the ID is crucial for online admissions, scholarships, and digital academic record management.

Why It Matters: Students must create their APAAR ID by January 31st to digitize academic records and access NEP benefits.
