    Is it mandatory for all online students to have an Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) account?

    arrow image

    Yes. From the academic year 2022-23, it has been made mandatory for all universities offering courses in online or distance learning modes to create ABC accounts for all their students as per the UGC regulation and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. 

    Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) is a digital storehouse of the credits earned by students during their academic journey. It is a credit bank for students that allows them to accumulate, verify, transfer, and redeem their credits. This is an initiative from the Ministry of Education, Government of India to enable academic flexibility and students’ mobility across multiple Higher Education Institutes (HEIs).  The University Grants Commission (UGC) has mandated that every learner who is an Indian national needs to submit the following details for creating their ABC account: 

    • Roll number issued by the university 
    • Aadhar number (12 digits) 
    • 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. Students can email helpdesk@mujonline.edu.in or call +91 7996 600 444 for any queries.
