Mumbai University has prolonged its special facilitation camp to assist students in resolving issues related to their Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR) IDs, linking their Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) IDs, and completing Aadhaar authentication. The camp is available at the Alkesh Dinesh Modi Institute for Financial and Management Studies on the university's Kalina campus until August 21.
Understanding APAAR, ABC IDs, and Aadhaar Authentication
The APAAR ID is a unique identifier that students must create to access various academic services at Mumbai University, including exam hall ticket generation. The Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) ID is linked to the APAAR ID and records students’ earned credits across courses, facilitating credit transfer and accumulation under the National Education Policy framework. Aadhaar authentication is required to verify students’ identities and ensure the accuracy of their academic records.
These systems are part of a broader digital initiative to streamline academic administration and improve transparency in student records. The university has made it mandatory for students to have an APAAR ID to be eligible to receive their hall tickets for the 2026-27 examination cycle.
Key Details About the Facilitation Camp
- The camp is hosted at the Alkesh Dinesh Modi Institute on Mumbai University’s Kalina campus.
- It will remain open until August 21, providing students with additional time to resolve their issues.
- More than 800 students attended the camp on August 19 to address problems related to APAAR ID creation, ABC ID linking, and Aadhaar authentication.
- Assistance is available for correcting discrepancies in Aadhaar-linked mobile numbers, name mismatches, date of birth errors, and other Aadhaar-related concerns.

Why This Extension Matters for Students
The extension of the facilitation camp provides crucial support for students navigating the technical and administrative challenges of the new digital academic systems. Since the APAAR ID is now mandatory for exam hall tickets, students who fail to create or link their IDs risk being barred from taking exams. This could delay their academic progress and graduation timelines.
By offering hands-on assistance, the university aims to reduce errors and confusion, ensuring that students can complete their registration and authentication processes smoothly. The camp also helps prevent last-minute rushes and technical glitches that could disrupt exam preparations.
Furthermore, the integration of APAAR and ABC IDs aligns with India’s National Education Policy goals to create a more flexible and transparent higher education system. This initiative supports credit mobility and lifelong learning, enabling students to accumulate and transfer credits across institutions.
