Mumbai University Makes APAAR ID Mandatory for Exam Hall Tickets

The University of Mumbai has introduced a new requirement for its students, mandating the APAAR (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry) ID as a prerequisite for downloading admit cards ahead of the 2026-27 examinations.

Under the revised examination rules, students will need to possess a valid APAAR ID to access their hall tickets. The move represents a significant shift in the university's administrative procedures and reflects the broader adoption of digital identification systems in Indian higher education.

APAAR, a centralised digital repository developed by the Ministry of Education, is designed to create a comprehensive academic record for students from school through higher education. The unique identifier aims to streamline educational data management across institutions.

The University of Mumbai's decision to enforce the APAAR requirement comes as part of nationwide efforts to digitise educational processes and maintain standardised records. Students who have not yet obtained their APAAR ID are advised to complete the registration process well in advance of the examination cycle to avoid disruptions in accessing their admit cards.
