ABC was one of the provisions of the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020). ABC will allow students of undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses to exit the course and enter within a stipulated period. It also seeks to make it possible for all students to open an academic bank account with ABC to commute credits to award any degree, diploma or certificate.
