NCERT respects your privacy and processes personal data under the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 and the Information Technology Act, 2000.
What we collect
- At registration (by email, or with MeriPehchaan / DigiLocker): full name, date of birth, gender, email, class and address (address, block, district, state, PIN). With email registration a password is also set (stored only as a secure hash). With MeriPehchaan these details come from your DigiLocker account – the address only if you have e-Aadhaar in DigiLocker – and we keep your DigiLocker ID to recognise you next time. We do not ask for or store your father's name, mother's name or mobile number.
- In your profile: date of birth, class, father's and mother's names, address (state, district, block, PIN), school name, address, board and type, Aadhaar number (if given) and a photograph.
- While you take the test: your answers, time taken and resulting scores and report.
- Security logs: login attempts and similar events, used only to protect the service.
Why we collect it
Only to run the aptitude test, prepare your report and keep the service secure. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.
