Dear Kadamb, now the Supreme Court has passed an order stating that Aadhar card is not a mandatory Id proof document for Educational purposes. And NTA also released a notification statingb that Aadhar card is not mandatory for UGC NET exams. So you can select an alternative Id proof and submit the same when asked.
