Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) is the initiative of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the Ministry of Education (MoE). It was introduced with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. It is a virtual mechanism that will deal with the credits earned by students of Higher Education Institutes in India and which are recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC).
What are the uses of ABC Card?
Creating ABC IDs offers numerous benefits, including Unique Student ID: The issuance of ABC IDs assigns a distinct and permanent identifier to each student, commencing from Class I. This ensures seamless academic tracking throughout their educational journey. It also 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.
