University of Mumbai Requires APAAR ID for Exams, Hosts Aadhaar Facilitation Camp
The University of Mumbai has mandated the use of the Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR) ID for downloading hall tickets for the 2026-27 semester exams. Students must provide this unique 12-digit ID, which consolidates academic and extracurricular records, to access admit cards and are advised to arrive 30 minutes early for exams. To assist with APAAR ID creation, Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) ID linking, and Aadhaar-related issues, the university will hold a facilitation camp on August 19-20 at the Alkesh Dinesh Mody Institute on campus.
