Academic Bank of Credits: According to University Grants Commission (UGC), nearly 3 crore students from across the country have registered so far for the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC). “So far, three crore students have joined the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) platform and the process is still going on. This is very important for the successful implementation of the National Credit Framework, which provides more choices to the students,” said a senior UGC official to TOI. 

The ABC portal advocates for flexible curriculum frameworks and facilitates interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary academic mobility among Indian Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs) via an effective credit transfer system. It serves as a digital repository for each student's credit records, enabling seamless score access and aiding transitions between universities or colleges.

Students can upload their credits, transcripts, and certificates to their academic account. A newly introduced four-year graduation course offers students the choice of multiple entry and exit points during their academic journey. “If a student does any course during his studies, his credits will continue to be deposited in the bank,” the official added. 

The UGC is writing to all the universities and colleges that every student should have an account at ABC portal. It is also being monitored on a regular basis. “Till now, the students used to face difficulties in taking admission from one institute to another, but after the implementation of the provisions of National Credit Framework, now they will be able to easily shift to another institute,” the official said.
