Rajiv Gandhi University
As the rule makes significant commitments, the project has the potential to internationalise India’s higher education system. ABC is a digital repository that houses data on the credits that specific students have earned throughout the course of their academic careers in higher education.
The Institution Grants Commission’s academic bank credit (ABC) system is about to be implemented at Rajiv Gandhi University (RGU), the only central university in Arunachal Pradesh (UGC).
RGU Vice Chancellor Prof. Saket Kushwaha announced on Thursday that the university would establish a task force for the ABC, which would be headed by a senior-level officer of the university and comprise officers and faculty members who have experience handling admission, registration, and examination issues. Kushwaha made the announcement while virtually attending a meeting with UGC Chairman Prof. Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar.
According to the vice president of corporate communications, the ABC would significantly alter Indian education. “The necessity of the hour is for an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach. With the ABC, RGU will be able to support students in learning the courses of their choice and developing into “skill-oriented graduates,” the VC continued.
According to the VC, the initiative has the potential to internationalise India’s higher education system due to the regulation’s significant promises of standardisation within the Indian higher education system, freedom and flexibility in the university degree-granting system, and strong integration of the Indian higher education system.
ABC is a digital repository that houses data on the credits that specific students have earned throughout the course of their academic careers in higher education.
The UGC anticipates that the ABC’s use in the next years will have a favourable effect. Participating higher education institutions would greatly benefit from the scheme’s efficient credit management. The academic bank will be responsible for opening, cancelling, and confirming the student’s academic accounts, according to RGU Controller of Examinations Bijay Raji.
“It will execute duties including student credit accumulation, student credit verification, student credit transfer, and student credit redemption. The government and institutions are offering both online and distance learning courses. Students can redeem these academic credits, and they have up to seven years to use them, according to him.
