Abstract
Education instils knowledge into the young minds and transforms those minds into learned citizens. Appropriate education in the developed countries led them towards prosperity. New India is also thinking on the same line. This National Education Policy 2020 aims to transform India's education system by 2040. In this new National Education Policy 2020, the 10+2 structure will be replaced with the 5+3+3+4 model. It proposes a multi-disciplinary bachelor's degree in an undergraduate programme with multiple exit options. National Education Policy 2020 introduces the system of Academic Bank of Credits (ABC). It is a virtual store that maintains data about the credits earned by students throughout their educational life. It will be accountable for opening, closing, and validating the academic accounts of students. It increases students’ freedom in choosing their courses and academics. would act as a reference point for faculty to check the credit records of students. Online & offline – both types of courses are included in this ABC scheme. The credits earned by students will be valid for seven years. The UGC expects a positive impact that will be brought via the practice of the ABC in the upcoming years.
