In India, students can now register for an APAAR ID or ABC ID Card, a unique 12-digit identification number. This digital ID helps students store, manage, and access their academic records, including degrees, certificates, and co-curricular achievements. The Academic Bank of Credits (ABC), an initiative by the Ministry of Education, securely stores academic credits, making it easier for students to track their educational progress.
You can create or update your ABC ID Card using the DigiLocker app or the official website abc.gov.in. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you through the process.
