Continuous evaluation of students needed
The ABC is a virtual storehouse in which the data of each student will be stored. The university and colleges need to make registration on the ABC to upload credits.
If any student discontinues education due to some reason, his/her credits will remain the ABC and they can continue their education later. They will be awarded, a certificate, diploma and degree on the basis of completion of the first, second, and third year of the course respectively. “There is a need for continuous evaluation. The ABC will play an important role in it,” Dr Pramod Yeole, vice chancellor.
