What is the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC)?

The Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) is like a digital locker where students can safely store all the academic credits they earn throughout their education. Think of it as a secure, lifelong report card that keeps track of your progress, no matter where or when you study.

With ABC, students can create their own accounts and have the flexibility to move in and out of colleges or universities as needed. It supports a system of multiple entry and exit points, meaning you can pause your education, switch courses or institutions, and pick up right where you left off — without losing the credits you’ve already earned.

This system acts as a reliable record of a student’s academic achievements at any time. For educators, it streamlines tracking student progress, and for students, it opens the door to more personalized and interdisciplinary learning paths. The goal is to help students become skilled, adaptable professionals ready for the real world.

In short, the Academic Bank of Credits has the potential to be a game-changer — bringing greater flexibility, transparency, and growth opportunities to the Indian education system.
