Academic Bank of Credits (ABC)

The University Grants Commission (UGC), one of the statutory organizations, is a key player in maintaining the quality of education across Indian institutions.

Right from evaluating teaching-learning practices to bringing innovations in the field of education, UGC introduces various schemes from time to time for quality assurance.

Continuing the chain of building transformative educational setup, UGC has introduced the “Academic Bank of Credits” (ABC). It helps faculty to manage & check the credits earned by students.

Objectives of ABC
• To promote student-centric education
• Focus on learner-friendly teaching approaches
• Implement an inter-disciplinary approach
• Allow students to learn the best courses of their interest
• Enable students to learn at their own pace

Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) is a virtual/digital storehouse that contains the information of the credits earned by individual students throughout their learning journey. It will enable students to open their accounts and give multiple options for entering and leaving colleges or universities. There will be “multiple exits” & “multiple entries” points during the higher education tenure & credits will be transferred through the ABC seamlessly.

ABC can be considered as an authentic reference to check the credit record of any student at any given point in time. Thus, the concept of ABC is fuel to boost the efficiency of faculty and help students embrace a multi-disciplinary educational approach. The idea is to make students “skillful professionals” and help their overall growth.

Importance of Academic Bank of Credit (ABC)
• Increases the student’s freedom in choosing their courses and academics.
• Enables the student to drop out in any year and then exchange the credits earned so far with a certificate/diploma if they are eligible.
• They can redeem the credits and rejoin the same or any other institute in the future and continue their education.
• The institutes cannot keep the students in the courses against their will to earn money
