Dear Parents / Guardians,                                                              

Sub : Compulsory APAAR ID / PEN for all students

The Ministry of Education launched the Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR) aiming for ‘One Nation, One Student ID’. The APAAR ID or (Permanent Education Number) PEN is a specialised identification number designed for all students in India. It is a unique 12-digit code used to digitally store, manage, and access all academic credits, degrees, diplomas, certificates, training details, and co-curricular certificates of students. All students in India can take benefit of APAAR ID, they can register themselves online through the official website, apaar.education.gov.in or abc.gov.in.

Students are not required to provide documents physically; they just need to provide PEN or APAAR ID at the time of admission. This streamlines and smoothens the process of storing and providing documents. Read the entire article to know how to get the PEN number/ APAAR ID CSC.

APAAR stands for Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry, a portal launched through the Common Service Centres (CSCs). It will provide a 12-digit unique code to students as their Permanent Education Number (PEN) or APAAR ID. As per this, all students must register on the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC). The ABC ID is linked to the APAAR ID and, hence, receives academic credits from institutions through the National Academic Depository.

The Academic Bank of Credits was established on the concept of the National Academic Depository (NAD). ABC is a digital repository or store where students can register or transfer credits, the final outcomes of credit redemption and issuance of certificates as well as the compilation of award records are managed by the academic institutions. This helps to make the authentication and verification process easier at the admission.

To create the APAAR ID, students need to follow the steps mentioned below:

• Go to APAAR ID official website, apaar.education.gov.in.
• On the homepage, click on the ‘Create your APAAR’ link.
• On the next window, click on ‘Don't have provisional APAAR number? Create new link.
• Now, enter the Aadhaar number and click on the ‘Next’ button.
• Enter the OTP received on the registered mobile number.
• Click the ‘Allow’ button to give consent.

Now, the DigiLocker will open and here students can download the APPAR/ ABC ID card shown on the homepage. The ABC ID number or APAAR ID number is written on the card for students' reference.

How to Download ABC ID/APAAR ID Card Through Academic Bank of Credits?

Students/ Colleges can download the ABC ID card through the official website of Academic Bank of Credits. Follow the below steps to know how to get ABC ID online:

• Go to the Academic Bank of Credits official website, abc.gov.in.
• On the homepage, click on ‘My Account’ drop down menu, and select ‘Student’
• On the next window, students can login using their Digi-Locker credentials or mobile number.
• After submitting the login details, click on ‘Sign in’
• On the next window, enter the email address and verify via OTP.
• After that, click on the ‘Allow’ button.
• Fill in the asked details, ‘university name, admission year, identity type, etc., and click on the ‘Submit’ button.
• On the next screen, the ABC ID will be displayed.

An attachment has also been enclosed herewith to help you in the registration process.

Aam Ki Gutli Collection Revolution

Dear Parents,

We are excited to share an enriching and impactful initiative with our students at Birla High School. As part of our ongoing efforts to foster environmental consciousness and community involvement, we encourage our students to collect mango seeds and bring them to school. We are collaborating with the Mango Wonder Man, Jasmit Singh Arora of Gram Samriddhi Foundation to make this mission possible.

The simple act of collecting mango seeds can contribute to a larger cause—promoting reforestation and sustainability. By gathering these seeds, students will learn about the importance of recycling natural resources and how small actions can significantly affect our environment.

Kindly send 5 washed, cleaned and sundried (for 2/3 days) mango seeds in a paper bag to school by Tuesday, 2nd July 2024.

Thank you for your continued support in nurturing the holistic development of our students.

Warm regards,

Ms. Farida Singh
