💡 Why GCAS is Asking for this in 2026
In 2026, the Government of Gujarat has strictly integrated GCAS with the national credit system.

Credit Transfer: If you change colleges after 1st year, your marks (credits) move with you automatically via this ID.

Auto-Fetch: Having an ABC ID allows the GCAS portal to automatically fetch your verified certificates, saving you from manual uploads.
⚠️ Common Problems & Solutions
-
“Mobile Not Linked to Aadhaar”: If you don’t get the OTP, you must visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra first. You cannot create an ABC ID without an Aadhaar-linked mobile.
-
“Institution Not Found”: If your specific school isn’t listed, simply select the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSEB).
-
“Data Mismatch”: Ensure your name in DigiLocker matches your 12th Marksheet exactly. If there is a spelling error in your Aadhaar, the ABC ID may be rejected by GCAS.

Is the DigiLocker server showing an “Error 500” or “Service Unavailable”?
This is common during the GSEB result week due to high traffic. Try creating your ID after 10:00 PM or early in the morning (before 8:00 AM) when the servers are fast!
