Mandatory Apaar ID and Digilocker Sync for CET Registration

A significant change introduced for the 2026 admission cycle is the mandatory requirement of APAAR ID (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry) and DigiLocker sync for CET registration. This initiative, implemented for the first off time in 2026, aims to speed up the academic verification process and enhance the security and authenticity of candidate data. Aspirants were required to ensure their APAAR ID was linked with their DigiLocker account during the initial CET registration phase.

This new mandate underscores the State Common Entrance Test Cell’s commitment to using digital platforms for a more efficient and secure admission system. Candidates are advised to keep their APAAR ID and DigiLocker credentials readily accessible for any future verification steps during the CAP process.
