- The NTA recÂomÂmends inteÂgratÂing the AutoÂmatÂed PerÂmaÂnent AcaÂdÂeÂmÂic Account RegÂistry (APAAR) ID with NEET (UG) 2025 appliÂcaÂtions. The APAAR ID, preÂviÂousÂly known as the AcaÂdÂeÂmÂic Bank of CredÂits (ABC ID), is designed to digÂiÂtalÂly store a stuÂdenÂt’s acaÂdÂeÂmÂic credÂits. CanÂdiÂdates are encourÂaged to use their APAAR ID alongÂside AadÂhaar-based authenÂtiÂcaÂtion durÂing the appliÂcaÂtion and examÂiÂnaÂtion process. ​nta.ac.in
