Answer & Explanation +

Answer:

Option B – Adults can use previously earned credits stored in the Academic Bank of Credits and join programmes at appropriate levels

Explanation:

NEP 2020 promotes lifelong learning and recognises that adults may have disrupted educational journeys. With ABC, credits from earlier study can be accumulated and later used to continue education. This allows adults to re-enter at levels that match their prior achievements instead of starting from scratch.

Option A:
Forcing adults to begin again disregards their prior effort and contradicts NEP’s recognition of credit mobility.

Option B:
This option explains how ABC supports flexible and adult-friendly pathways in higher education.

Option C:
NEP explicitly welcomes adult learners into mainstream programmes and does not restrict them.

Option D:
Restricting adults only to non-credit hobbies would limit their educational and professional growth.
