APAAR ID (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry ID) is a unique 12-digit number assigned to each student that helps track their entire academic record. The APAAR ID helps in maintaining verified records through the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) platform, making academic transfers and record verification easier. Details such as the candidate’s mark sheets, degrees, and awards will be available in a single secure platform integrated with DigiLocker and linked to Aadhaar. The ID is designed to track student progress, simplify transfers between institutions, and streamline record-keeping.
Candidates can find the APAAR ID in their Digilocker account, as well as their ABC accounts. Candidates can also contact their respective schools for the APAAR ID.
According to the JEE Main 2026 information brochure, it is not mandatory for candidates to enter their APAAR ID while filling out the registration form. Additionally, the authority has also listed the APAAR ID in the candidate’s personal and academic details. Therefore, candidates should ensure they have an APAAR ID before commencing the JEE Main 2026 registration.
The provision to enter the APAAR ID is a separate step in the JEE Main 2026 application form. Candidates will be able to enter their APAAR ID under the “Additional section” details.
The APPAR ID page will look like this:
Once the candidate enters the APAAR ID, they have to then validate their number. If the ID is successfully validated, the details will automatically be fetched by the server.
The reasons why the APAAR ID is not validated could be because of a typo, the ABC account not linked to Aadhaar properly, Server delay, a recently created APAAR ID, or a mismatch in personal details. The following solutions can be applicable in such a case.
Recheck the APAAR ID by logging into the digiocker app. Copy and paste the APAAR ID once again as is to avoid a mismatch.
In case the APAAR ID was generated recently, it might not be active yet. It takes around 24–48 hours for new IDs to reflect in the validation system. So wait for that period and try again.
In case the ABC account is not linked to Aadhaar properly, candidates must log in and re-link their Aadhaar with the ABC account.
Server delays can also cause delays in fetching details. Hence, wait for a bit and try again in some time.
If none of these work, candidates must contact ABC/ Digilocker or NTA support for resolution.

The marks needed for a 99+ percentile in the JEE Main January attempt depend on the difficulty of the paper and the total number of candidates. Generally, you need roughly *180–200* marks out of 300 to hit the 99+ percentile. The exact cutoff varies each session, so checking the official NTA percentile score calculator or previous year cutoffs gives a more precise idea.
Hello aspirant
JEE Main accepts NIOS, so you can appear if you meet the basic eligibility.
BITS does not accept marks from two different boards, so this option won’t work for BITS.
VIT and SRM generally accept NIOS, but having two separate mark sheets can be an issue. You should check their official eligibility rules before applying.
