The National Curriculum Framework (NCrF) was conceived in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, aimed at integrating vocational education into the broader educational spectrum. NCrF establishes a unified credit accumulation and transfer framework for both vocational and general education, spanning from school to higher education
