|August 2022
What is a college or course credit system and how does it work in India? Careres360 explains.
Bringing the entire education system, from school to PhD, under one uniform credit system is the one of the biggest reforms the ministry of education has planned under the National Education Policy, or NEP 2020.
Redefining education based on learning outcomes; the ministry has mapped a cumulative credit system that will begin as early as Class 5. The centre is currently deliberating on the finer details. While the centre has plans to roll out the credit system for school education system in August in a phased manner, it has already been introduced in higher education institutions by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
The National Higher Education Qualifications Framework (NHEQF), a credit system starting from Class 10 and above, was designed by the Department of School Education, the Department of Higher Education and the Department of Skill Development. This framework divides education into eight levels, beginning with four schools and four higher education levels.
The "unified credit system" is intended to improve transfer of credits from school to higher education level. This will also allow students to earn credits through online programmes and facilitate blended, open and distance learning.

Education's Heroes
In India, education is shaped not only by policies and institutions but also by the people who refuse to accept inequality as the norm. They come from courtrooms, laboratories, medical colleges, village squares, and city streets, bound by a belief that learning must be a right for all, not a privilege for a few. Some take on entrenched systems through litigation and advocacy; others create small but lasting change through libraries, community classrooms, and grassroots campaigns.
