Are you an academic institution?
Register on Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) via the National Academic Depository (NAD)
Academic Bank of Credits has been established on the lines of the National Academic Depository (NAD), in the sense, NAD is the backbone of ABC, where the students' academic data are held and academic awards are stored (i.e. storehouse of academic awards). Despite the fact that ABC enables students to register or commence credit transfer, the final outcomes of credit redemption and issuance of certificates, as well as the compilation of award records, are administered by academic institutions via the NAD Platform. Hence being the owner of academic awards, Academic Institutions must mandatorily register themselves under ABC via NAD

APAAR, which stands for Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry, is a specialized identification system designed for all students in India. This initiative is part of the 'One Nation, One Student ID' program launched by the Union government, aligning with the new National Education Policy of 2020.
Every student in India is required to register for APAAR/ABC ID - a unique 12-digit code to digitally store, manage, and access all their academic credits, including degrees, diplomas, certificates, training details, and co-curricular accomplishments. This ID functions as a digital identity for the student in the realm of education.
The APAAR/ABC ID acts as a link to DigiLocker, an online repository, where students securely store essential documents like exam results. Linked to the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) via the APAAR/ABC ID, it receives academic credits from institutions through the National Academic Depository. This streamlines authentication for admissions or job applications, simplifying the verification of academic records.
APAAR ensures accountability and transparency in education by tracking student progress and streamlining academic records. It enhances efficiency, combats fraud, and includes co-curricular achievements for holistic student development. With multiple use cases, APAAR facilitates a smooth transfer process and supports data-driven decision-making in educational institutions. It also enables students to easily share their academic records for enhanced access to opportunities.
In the dynamic landscape of educational technology, APAAR delivers unique advantages, including personalized learning for early education, targeted interventions for K12 platforms, personalized study plans for test preparation, and skill gap analyses with industry-relevant content for upskilling programs.
