Why is Aadhaar re-KYC required before JEE Main 2027 registration?
Aadhaar re-KYC through DigiLocker is required to verify the candidate’s identity and biometric data accurately. Using personal DigiLocker or similar credentials helps prevent mismatches during the application process. This step ensures that the details submitted in the application form are consistent with official records, reducing the chances of rejection or delays.
How can candidates complete Aadhaar re-KYC on DigiLocker?
Candidates should follow these steps to complete Aadhaar re-KYC:
- Log in to the DigiLocker account and open the 'Issued Documents' section.
- Find the Aadhaar card and click the three-dot menu beside it.
- Select the 'Refresh' option to start the re-KYC process.
- Give consent for Aadhaar authentication when prompted.
- Enter the one-time password (OTP) sent to the mobile number registered with Aadhaar.
- Wait for the authentication to complete successfully.
- After successful re-KYC, refresh other documents in DigiLocker to update their status.
Note that the interface may vary slightly depending on the DigiLocker app version.
