After you have registered, you need to do two important things after you register for your first course:

• APAAR Number Generation: After you register for your first course of ePGD IxD, you will need to create your  Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) account and generate an APAAR number. Once you have done that, please email it to epgd.ixd@eo.iitb.ac.in. You need to complete this process before the course begins.
• Document Verification: At the time of registration, you will need to submit a scanned copy of the documents listed above. However, please note that before the award of the ePGD IxD certificate, you must present their original documents for verification by the office of IDC School of Design in the IIT Bombay campus. You can get your document verification done at any time after you register for your first course.

You need to do the above steps only once. From your second course onwards, you need to simply register for the course.
