Dr Saha detailed the NCrF, explaining that it proposes credit-based learning based on teaching hours and learning outcomes. According to NCrF, 30 notional learning hours equal one credit, with students earning 40 credits for 1200 hours of learning per academic year. Students can also pursue additional courses to gain extra credit points.
