communicated to all concerned:
1. The use of Aadhaar for the applicants of NEET- 2017 will result in accuracy of the
applicants’ details. This will also help in ascertaining identity of the applicants at the
examination centres in a convenient and hassle free manner. Aadhaar obviates the
need for producing multiple documents to prove one’s identity.
2. The provisions of the Aadhaar Act and Regulations under the Act have come into
effect from 14th September 2016 and notifications to this effect have been published
in the Official Gazette. Section 57 of the Aadhaar Act 2016 permits the use of
Aadhaar number for establishing the identity of an individual for any purpose
pursuant to any law or any contract to this effect.

and hereby notifies the following:
3.1 Applicants who are in possession of Aadhaar, shall enter Aadhaar number, name,
date of birth & gender in online application for NEET-2017 for the purpose of
his/her identity and authentication thereof.
3.2 Applicants not yet enrolled for Aadhaar, are hereby required to make application
for Aadhaar enrolment in case he/she is entitled to obtain Aadhaar as per section
3 of Aadhaar Act. Such applicant may visit any Aadhaar enrolment center (list
available at www.uidai.gov.in) to get enrolled for Aadhaar.
3.3 In order to facilitate such applicants who are not having Aadhaar, the CBSE has
specially set up facilitation centres in each city of examination for the purpose of
Aadhaar enrolment. The applicants can approach such facilitation centres who
will not charge any amount from any applicant for Aadhaar enrolment. The list of
the facilitation centre is available on www.cbseneet.nic.in. These applicants who
have enrolled for Aadhaar and have not received Aadhaar should enter 28 digit
Aadhaar Enrolment ID printed on the Aadhaar enrolment slip at the time of filling
online application form for NEET-2017.
3.4 In case Aadhaar enrolment facility is not available at the facilitation centres,
the applicants should submit a request for Aadhaar enrolment. The facilitation
centre will issue a registration number to such applicants. This registration
number should be entered by the applicants at the time of filling online
application form for NEET-2017
4. A Circular to all CBSE affiliated schools is being issued for the awareness of
applicants regarding the requirement of Aadhaar to apply for NEET-2017.
5. The above provisions shall be applicable in all states except J&K, Assam &
Meghalaya.
6. The applicants belonging to the states of J&K, Assam & Meghalaya need to enter the
passport number, ration card number, bank account number or any other valid Govt.
