The Ministry of Education on February 07, 2024, notified regarding the Academic Bank of Credit launched through CSCs.
The objective of APAAR (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry) is ‘One Nation, One Student ID’. The APAAR has been conceptualized under the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) in which all college/university-going students are required to register on ABC, i.e., Academic Bank of Credits. According to the new rule, it is necessary to have an ABC ID for admission to any college or university.
It is also stated that the APAAR ID will remain with the children for their entire lives. Students will also be able to get credit in future by passing various exams, he explained. Students will not be required to give certificates anywhere and just giving APAAR ID will be sufficient.
What is the Academic Bank of Credit?
ABC is a digital repository or digital storage. Students can easily avail its benefits. For this service, the student does not need to go anywhere else but to the nearest CSC. In this digital credit bank, all the credits, i.e., marks scored by the students and all their personal information will be available.
With the help of this ID, it will be easy for all the students to take admission from one institute to another for graduation and post-graduation. Universities will now be able to access all the data of students with one click with the help of ABC ID.
