What is Academic Credit Transfer?

Credit transfer is the process of transferring your academic credits (subject/course marks/grades earned) from one college/university to another in order to avoid re-doing the same subjects, in line with the UGC Credit Transfer Policy.

When you learn in a university, for each course you successfully finish, you are awarded some credits (points). If you switch universities or switch between course modes (from regular to online/distance), rather than beginning again from scratch, the credits you already have can be transferred to the new university. This way, your previous learning is accounted for, and you can finish your degree in less time.This system is part of the Credit System in Higher Education, designed to make learning more flexible, inclusive, and globally aligned.

Example:

Assuming you did 2 years of BCA in University A.

You wish to transfer to University B (better prospects or for convenience).

University B, through credit transfer, takes the subjects/credits you've already done.

You can jump straight into the 3rd year rather than beginning from the 1st year all over again.

Eligibility Criteria for Credit Transfer

  • The students who have dropped out of studies in the first year, the second year or even in their third year of the examination are qualified for this process.
  • Such students who have passed their higher secondary exam or graduation exam may pursue their higher degrees through single sitting examination.
  • The final successfully finished level of the test should be passed from government recognized college or university.
  • The students are provided with a choice to opt for both classroom and distance mode of completing their studies if they are able to produce the evidence of their previous completed examination.
How the Credit Transfer System Works in India

Through the credit transfer system in India, your completed subjects are matched with equivalent courses in the new university. Once verified, you are granted admission with advanced standing, meaning you don’t need to repeat the same subjects again. This helps in faster degree completion and better academic mobility.
