The University Grants Commission (UGC) has directed that the National Credit Framework (NCrF) be implemented in all Higher Education Institutions (HEI).
NCrF is an enabling framework that lays down basic principles of creditisation of learning from several dimensions including academic, vocational, and experiential learning.
Through this, students (at all levels) will earn credits for education and learning in all subjects, and in all mediums such as online, digital, and blended learning.
Students across the country will also gain credit for their expertise in several aspects of the Indian knowledge system, including the Puranas, the Vedas, and other components.
