Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) Cell

   The Government of India had introduced new education policy i.e “National Education Policy 2020”. This policy proposes the revision and revamping of all aspects of the education structure, including its regulation and governance, to create a new system that is aligned with the aspirational goals of 21 st century education while building upon India’s traditions and value systems.

   Under this New Education Policy, 2020, University Grants Commission (UGC) in concurrence with Ministry of Education (MoE) has launched the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) scheme. ABC is an initiative of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and Ministry of Education (MoE) respectively.

ABC mainly focuses on:

• Student centric education – enables students’ mobility across Higher Education Institutions (HEIs)
• Flexible teaching learning approaches – helps in integration of skills and experiences into a credit-based system.
• Encourages inter-disciplinary approach in studies.
• Allows students to learn at their convenience, drop education mid-way and pick it up again as per their choice and convenience across India. This indirectly decreases the dropout ratio in HEIs.
