Academic Bank of Credits: When Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar, the Chairman of the University Grants Commission (UGC), spoke at the Western Zone Vice Chancellor’s Conference hosted by Maharaja Sayajirao University Baroda in Gujarat, he highlighted a significant achievement. More than 20 million students nationwide have enthusiastically enrolled in the UGC’s Academic Bank of Credit (ABC).
This achievement reflects the successful implementation of a key component outlined in the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020). The ABC portal has emerged as a vital platform that promotes adaptability within curriculum frameworks and facilitates interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary academic mobility among students across various Indian higher educational institutions (HEIs) through an efficient credit transfer system.
Implementing UGC Reforms for Enhanced Student Registration
In recent years, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has implemented a series of crucial reforms aimed at enhancing the educational landscape. Currently, over two crore students have enrolled on the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) platform. However, the imperative is to ensure that every student is registered on this platform, accompanied by the submission of their academic credentials and credit certificates. This directive was underscored by Mr. Kumar in his address to the vice-chancellors.

This innovative platform was established in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) of 2020. The ABC portal offers students a seamless means to access their academic scores, simplifying the transition from one educational institution to another, be it a university or college.
As of June, the UGC had successfully recorded one crore registrations on the ABC platform, signifying its growing significance in the education sector.
