- Name (as mentioned in Aadhaar)
- Gender
- Date of Birth
- Mobile number (linked to their Aadhaar)
The university will reach out to enrolled students for details required to create their ABC accounts and will provide these details to the UGC. Once the ABC account is created, the credits earned by the learners in their term-end exam will get deposited into their respective ABC accounts which they can redeem within 7 years.
