Academic credit bank soon, may help students graduate early

Pune: The UGC has set the ball rolling for the introduction of an academic credit bank, similar to some foreign countries, where students can accumulate credits and graduate before the stipulated time. The system will also enable students from arts and commerce to take up science degrees after a bridge programme.

The proposed National Academic Credit Bank (NAC-Bank) will help students plan their learning objectives and their pace, said Bhushan Patwardhan, vice-chairman of University Grants Commission (UGC).

He explained, “Let’s suppose a BSc (Physics) student needs 100 credit points, 80 of which are mandatory from the core subject(s). During the vacations, the student can accrue 20 points from a non-conventional or massive open online or hobby course (sports, music, dance etc) from another institution. The student can get the required 80 credits in the core subject(s) before time and move on to the next level.”

Patwardhan, who floated the idea earlier this month at the 3rd National Teachers’ Congress at MIT World Peace University in Pune, said, “If the concept is accepted, it may take a few months for NAC-Bank to turn reality.”
