NEP and academic bank for lifelong learning – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 presents ABC as a digital system for storing academic credits earned over time from recognised institutions and courses. These credits can later be stacked into certificates, diplomas and degrees, supporting flexible, lifelong and adult learning.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because restricting ABC to a single continuous programme would defeat its purpose of flexible entry, exit and re-entry.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it captures ABC’s role in enabling people to accumulate and later recombine credits from diverse learning experiences across their lifespan.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect; ABC is primarily aimed at higher education and adult learners, not just school students below Grade 10.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because ABC is designed to store academic credits, not records of sports achievements.
