 Why in news

  • The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aims to transform India’s education system, moving away from colonial frameworks.

  • Some critics argue against the reforms proposed by NEP 2020, particularly regarding the flexibility and adaptability of higher education.

  • Critics’ resistance to the NEP highlights a disconnect with contemporary educational and societal needs.

National Credit Framework (NCrF)

  • According to the framework, an academic year will be defined by the number of hours a student puts in and credits will be provided to them accordingly at the end of each academic year.

  • NCrF is a meta-framework that consists of three verticals:

    • National School Education Qualification Framework (NSEQF)

    • National Higher Education Qualification Framework (NHEQF), and

    • National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF)

Credit System:

  • The total 'Notional Learning hours in a year' for assignment of Credits will be 1200 hours

    • A minimum of 40 credits may be earned for 1200 hours of learning every year with 20 credits per semester of six months

  • Notional hours refer to the time that the average student would need to attend all classes, study for tests and do assignments and homework.

  • The total credits earned by a student during the entire schooling period will be 160 credits.

  • By the end of a three-year bachelor's degree course, the student will have earned 120 credits.

  • When a student completes a Ph.D., the earned credits would be 320.

  • Students will also get credits for participating in Olympiads, science quizzes, internships, and taking up jobs while they are studying in college.


Credit Levels:

  • The NCrF has proposed several levels within this framework ranging from level 1 to level 8.

  • The credit level that can be attained after completion of school education (upto level 4) i.e., 

    • grade 5th will be level 1

    • grade 8th will be level 2, 

    • grade 10th will be level 3 

    • grade 12th will be level 4.

  • Higher education shall be from credit levels of 4.5 to level 8.

  • For vocational education & training level 1 to level 8.

Aadhaar-Enabled Student Registration:

  • An Aadhaar-enabled student registration will take place. 

  • After student registration, an Academic Bank of Credit (ABC) account will be opened.

  • The deposit of degree and credits will take place in those accounts. There will be a knowledge locker along the lines of DigiLocker.


  • The NCrF serves as an enabling rather than regulatory framework, promoting autonomy for institutions.

Benefits of the NCrF

  • Students can earn credits through diverse activities, including classroom learning, internships, sports, arts, and community service.

  • The NCrF helps institutions stay relevant to evolving job requirements by revising curricula to meet current and future demands.

  • By integrating skill training with academic pursuits, the NCrF prepares students for emerging roles and self-employment opportunities.

  • The framework supports a more inclusive approach, making education accessible and equitable for a broader demographic.

  • The NCrF promotes continuous education, allowing students to pursue learning beyond traditional degree programs.


Way Forward

  • Higher education institutions (HEIs) must adapt to changing circumstances to avoid stagnation and enhance their relevance.

  • Emphasizing vocational and skill training alongside research and knowledge production is essential for holistic development.

  • Integrating flexibility and skill-based courses is vital for transforming India into a competitive economic and technological leader.

  • higher education institutions (HEIs) should collaborate with industries and communities to align educational outcomes with real-world needs.

  • Implementing robust mechanisms to assess the effectiveness of the NCrF and ensure it meets the evolving educational landscape.
