Aadhaar not mandatory for admission in schools: UIDAI
Aadhaar issuing authority UIDAI has asserted that schools cannot make the 12-digit biometric identifier a pre-condition for student admission. UIDAI also warned that doing so will clearly be seen as contempt of court. The caution from UIDAI comes at a time when admissions to nursery and entry-level classes have just begun in over 1,500 private schools in Delhi.
