The Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry or APAAR ID involves making a digital identity for the student's academic records, including examination results, co-curricular achievements, and specialized certifications. The 'One Nation, One Student ID' will be tied with the Academic Bank Credit, thus having interlinked records of these students in a national repository of academic credits.
