Academic Bank of Credits API Integration
Look up a learner's Academic Bank of Credits balance and credit history across institutions.
What Academic Bank of Credits API integration does
The Academic Bank of Credits is a national credit ledger operated under UGC. It holds the academic credits a learner has earned across institutions so those credits belong to the learner rather than being locked inside one university's records.
That portability is what makes the multiple-entry, multiple-exit model in the National Education Policy workable in practice. A learner can pause a programme, earn credits elsewhere and resume without starting over — but only if the receiving institution can actually read the credit history. Integration resolves a learner's ABC balance and credit history by ABC ID, which is what lets an EdTech platform or institution award credit for prior learning at the point of enrolment instead of through a manual equivalence review.
What teams build with it
