City schools begin generating Apaar IDs
1 2 Ranchi: Following the Central Board of Secondary Education 's (CBSE) directive making Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (Apaar) ID mandatory for all students appearing in the 2025–26 board examinations, schools have begun a series of measures to ensure complete compliance and avoid any disruption during the examinations. Students without Apaar ID will not be allowed to appear for the examination, and their names will not be included in the list of candidates (LOC) submitted to the board. Schools have been directed to include only those Class IX and Class XI students in the LOC who are registered and have an active Apaar ID. The Apaar ID is a unique 12-digit identifier under the 'One Nation, One Student ID' initiative, providing students across India with a unified digital identity. It serves as a lifelong, secure platform to store, manage, and access all academic records and achievements in one place. Many schools have set up dedicated help desks and on-campus registration drives to assist students and parents in generating Apaar IDs. Required documents such as Aadhaar card, birth certificate, and previous academic records are being collected in advance to avoid last-minute delays. "Most of our students already have their IDs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Colombia: New Senior Apartments (Prices May Surprise You) Senior Apartments | Search Ads Search Now Undo With one unique ID, learning details can be accessed from anywhere, making the education system more robust," said Sumit Kaur, principal of Gurunanak Higher Secondary School. To meet the CBSE requirement of accurate data entry, schools are cross-checking student name, date of birth, gender, category, and guardian's name before uploading details on the LOC portal. Several schools have conducted orientation sessions to explain the significance of the Apaar ID, highlighting its role in preventing fake documents, centralizing student credits, and ensuring transparency in examination and result processes. "We have started individual follow-ups with students who have not yet completed the process. Parents have been advised to provide documents promptly so that the examination process can proceed smoothly," said Tapas Ghosh, principal of DAV Public School, Pundag. The ongoing academic session will see three major examinations, including optional tests alongside the main board exams. From 2026, Class X examination will be conducted twice.

CBSE: 75% attendance for students non-negotiable
Ranchi: City schools are now focusing on starting awareness campaigns for parents about the 75% compulsory school attendance rule for their children, in line with the latest directive issued by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In its standard operating procedure (SOP) for all affiliated institutes, CBSE emphasised strict adherence to attendance norms, especially for Class X and XII students appearing for board examinations. Experts said the SOP mandates that schools must inform students and their parents about the attendance policies and consequences from the beginning of an academic session. Moreover, schools are required to contact parents of irregular students frequently and formally notify them through post or email if the attendance drops below the required benchmark. The board may send inspection teams to conduct surprise checks in schools towards achieving this goal, the experts said. These checks will involve examination of attendance registers, which must bear the signatures of both class teachers and principals. Any discrepancy could result in the cancellation of a student's board exam or even revocation of the school's affiliation under the CBSE norms. While the 75% attendance rule remains non-negotiable, CBSE has listed exemptions for students facing genuine circumstances such as prolonged illness, bereavement, participation in national sports tournaments, or family emergencies. Students seeking relaxation must submit documentary proof to the CBSE regional office. As a step to inform the parents, schools used parent-teacher meetings (PTMs) as platforms to reinforce the importance of attendance and explain the possible consequences. "We counsel students about attendance requirements at the beginning of the session and during PTMs. If a student remains absent frequently, it is the teacher's responsibility to contact parents. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now We will continue to strictly adhere to the board's guidelines," said Rajesh Pillai, the principal of Kerali School. Similarly, the principal of Gurunanak Higher Secondary School, Sumit Kaur, said, "This is not a one-time effort; it's a continuous and ongoing process in our school. We regularly conduct awareness drives, counselling sessions, and follow-up measures."
