The curriculum of each subject must be divided as per the hours allotted (1,200 hours annually) in the NCrF guidelines. Schools have to allot mark-sheets for final exams, which will reflect credits earned in the academic year. The credits earned will have to be deposited in the student’s academic bank of credit, which will be linked with the APAAR Id and his/her DigiLocker.
