MIT Art, Design and Technology University (MIT-ADT) has secured the top spot among private universities in the state for registering the most Academic Bank of Credit (ABC) numbers. The University Grants Commission (UGC) lauded MIT-ADT for its exceptional performance in a recent virtual meeting.

The ABC ID, similar to an Aadhaar number for students, is vital for transferring credits in inter-disciplinary and optional subjects. The UGC has been encouraging students to register for ABC IDs, which facilitate easy credit transfer and accumulation. Responding to this call, MIT-ADT has registered over 15,149 accounts, covering more than 22,784 credits, putting it at the forefront of this initiative.

MIT Vishwashanti University and Amethi University followed, securing second and third places, respectively. Nationally, over two crore students from 1,597 institutions have registered for ABC IDs, with Maharashtra alone contributing over 40 lakh students. Educational institutions are now actively recording student marks in ABC accounts, ensuring that private universities are not left behind.

Dr. Dyandeo Neelawarna, the Controller of Examinations at MIT-ADT, announced the university's achievement, which was met with praise from the UGC. The executive team at MIT ADT, including Executive President and Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dr. Mangesh Karad, Executive Director Prof. Dr. Sunita Karad, Pro Vice-Chancellor Dr. Anant Chakradeo, Dr. Mohit Dubey, Dr. Ramchandra Pujeri, and Registrar Dr. Mahesh Chopde, congratulated the examination department on this milestone.

Understanding the ABC ID

The ABC ID system allows students to bank credits earned from different educational institutions, akin to withdrawing money from a bank account. Students can create their ABC ID online through the official website, making it easier for institutions to use these credits towards degree completion.

2. Utilization After Gaps: Students returning to their studies after a gap can use their banked credits.

3. Simplified Grading: Grading of preferred or skill-oriented courses becomes straightforward.
