As a milestone decision, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) now has an implemented the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) system which permits credit transference to premier institutions like IITs, IIMs and NITs. Here’s everything you need to understand about this landmark policy:

How Does The Credit Transfer Work?

Students at AKTU collect credits of each semester and the credits earned are kept in an ABC account which is digitized and linked to aadhaar. - Credit Spending
The students are allowed to transfere their credit to other institutions participating in ABC. For example, an AKTU B.Tech student has the opportunity to join IIT Bombay mid course without losing any credits. - Multi-Entry/Exit Option
Students have the option of pausing their studies after 1st or 2nd year and coming back at a later date with same accumulated credits. Advantages for AKTU Students
