PAAR Registration System

AIIMS follows the Prospective Applicants Advanced Registration (PAAR) process. This is a two-tier system that ensures your application is error-free before you pay the fee.

1. Basic Registration (Current Phase)

This stage is mandatory and involves entering your name, parentage, and contact info.

• The “Zero-Fee” Stage: You do not have to pay anything yet.

• Image Uploads: You must upload three specific images: a recent color photograph (white background), a signature (black pen on white paper), and a left-thumb impression.

• PAAR ID: Once completed, you will receive a permanent PAAR ID and password.

2. Generation of Code (RUC)

After AIIMS accepts your basic registration, you must log in to generate a Registration Unique Code (RUC) specifically for the course you want (e.g., B.Sc. Optometry).

3. Final Registration

In the final step, you use your PAAR ID and RUC to:

• Fill in academic details (12th-grade marks).

• Choose your Exam City (slots are limited and allotted on a “first-come, first-served” basis).

• Pay the application fee.

How to Ensure Your Application Isn’t Rejected?

1. Photograph: No spectacles or caps; the face must cover 80% of the frame.

2. Signature: Use a black ink pen; do not sign in capital letters.

3. Documents: Keep your Class 10 certificate and Category certificate (if applicable) ready for the final stage.
