The basic principles of the framework include integrating credits for academic and vocational skills and providing relevant experiential learning. The framework in line with National Education Policy (NEP 2020) also emphasises multiple entry-multiple exit system, internationalisation of education, extensive use of technology, and promotion of Indian language. 

“The new framework will help students to move from one university to other universities, from one discipline to another easily,” M Jagadesh Kumar, UGC chairman said. According to the official statement, the frameworks are expected to roll out in July 2022.
