Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) framework, proposed in the National Education Policy 2020 was introduced in July 2021. It is meant to be mandatory for all the Indian HEIs but for now it has been left to the institutions to adopt at the time of their choice.
It started with higher education institutions to register for ABC if they had received ‘A’ grade from the Indian accreditation body called the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) or are in the top 100 National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) rankings.
