In India’s education system, performance has usually been measured by marks, grades, and CGPA scores. But that is beginning to change. Academic progress is now also being measured by credits. Academic credits are standardised units used to measure your learning in a subject, course, or programme. They help track your progress, skills, and future readiness. Here's a quick guide about the new National Education Policy and how it’s reshaping the value of credits.

What is the National Education Policy (NEP)?

Let’s imagine NEP 2020 as a massive "system upgrade" for schools and colleges in India. It focuses on flexibility. It moves away from rote learning and introduces the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC), a digital wallet where you can accumulate and transfer NEP Course Credits across different colleges and universities.

NEP 2020 Career Growth: The "Pause and Play" System

Under the old system, if you left a degree midway, you walked away with nothing. The NEP changes that. It allows you to learn at your own pace, which can be a massive boost for career growth.

For instance, imagine you’re pursuing a BMM degree but need to take a break for a few months for a family emergency. Earlier, this would have meant losing your progress. Now, the credits of your 1st year are saved in your ABC digital wallet. You can handle your family emergency, complete a certification, and resume your degree from where you left off - without having to start all over again. Every skill you pick up will stay with you.
