No hall tickets without APAAR ID: Mumbai University rolls out new rules for semester exams
The University of Mumbai has introduced new regulations for the 2026-27 academic year, mandating students to possess an Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR) ID for accessing their admit cards for semester exams. According to the university's official notice, without an APAAR ID, candidates will be unable to download their admit cards for the upcoming exams.
To ensure smooth examination proceedings, the university has imposed a rule requiring students to arrive at the examination hall 30 minutes prior to the commencement of each test.
This policy change comes into effect from the 2026-27 academic year and has been approved by the Examination and Evaluation Board, Management Council, and Academic Council. To assist students in obtaining their APAAR IDs, resolving any related issues, and linking their Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) ID, the university has organized an AADHAAR facilitation camp in collaboration with the Director, Board of Examinations and Evaluation (DBOEE).
The camp will be held at Alkesh Dinesh Mody Institute for Financial and Management Studies (ADMIFMS) on August 19 and 20, between 11 am and 4 pm.
The APAAR ID, a 12-digit digital identification number, is mandatory for all students in educational institutions across India. It serves as a comprehensive document containing vital information about a student's school and college records, grades, and achievements in sports or extracurricular activities. The university has urged senior authorities of all affiliated colleges and departments to incentivize students to participate in the camp to address any APAAR ID-related problems.
Students are strongly advised to bring their Aadhaar card and all necessary documents to the examination to avoid any potential issues.
