In a significant move aimed at simplifying the registration process and boosting the security and integrity of the NEET UG 2025 examination, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has made it mandatory for all candidates to update their Aadhaar details. The details must match the 10th-grade mark sheet or passing certificate. Additionally, candidates are required to link their Aadhaar with a valid mobile number to enable OTP-based authentication.
This initiative, according to the NTA, will improve the overall examination experience by ensuring a smooth registration process and better verification for candidates.
Aadhaar-Based Authentication: A Key Step for NEET UG 2025
The NTA has stated that Aadhaar-based authentication will now be compulsory for all candidates applying for NEET UG 2025, as per the guidelines from the Department of Higher Education under the Ministry of Education. The Aadhaar integration is designed to link the Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR ID) with the registration process of NEET UG 2025.
Key Requirements:
- Candidates must ensure that their Aadhaar information (such as name and date of birth) is an exact match to the details on their matriculation certificate.
- It is equally important for candidates to ensure that their facial recognition data is updated to ensure smooth verification during registration.
Candidates who need to update their Aadhaar information can visit their nearest Aadhaar Enrollment/Update Centre for the necessary changes.
