Every Aligarh Muslim University student who has not yet created an ABC/APAAR ID must register on the university portal nep.amuonline.ac.in before their examinations begin. A notice from the Controller of Examinations warns that students who miss this step may not have their results published.
The notice, dated 11 November 2026 (D. No. 811/NEPC), says the ID is now mandatory under a Ministry of Education and UGC mandate. It is also needed to upload results to the Government of India’s DigiLocker portal.
What is ABC/APAAR ID?
APAAR stands for Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry. ABC is the Academic Bank of Credits. Together they give each student a single academic ID that stores credits, marks and certificates, so records can follow you from course to course and show up in DigiLocker.
