Academic Bank of Credits (ABC)
In line with the National Education Policy 2020, the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Govt. of India, has mandated that all students in India have a unique 12-digit ID that remains with them through their academic journey from school to university and beyond. The National Academic Depository (NAD) was born out of this initiative.
The 12-digit ID is called the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC). It has several benefits for students, including a repository and authentication of their degrees, diplomas, certificates, training details, and co-curricular accomplishments year after year. It also allows students to participate in the credit transfer system between institutions.
Students can get their ID by visiting the official website of Academic Bank of Credits (ABC).
Note: The ID can also be obtained from the Digilocker NAD website. Furthermore, school students may already have their ID from the Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR) portal. All these 12-digit IDs are the same, i.e., part of the National Academic Depository (NAD).
All SSSIHL students have obtained their 12-digit ID and are part of the NAD.
