In making the expectations as brought out in National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 a reality, an innovative framework named as ‘Flexible Academic Program’ (FAP) is prepared. It aims to infuse the standard UG, PG, and Ph.D. programs in an integrated package such that it can easily facilitate multiple exits with provisions of re-entry (from the point of exit in the future), multi-disciplinary, multi-institute, multi-mode, multi-lingual, lateral entry, etc. Suggestions/consultations from many eminent persons were obtained by organizing several events including Webinars, Seminars, National Conference, etc., and accordingly, the modalities for undertaking a pilot run are prepared, as presented hereunder. Further, IIITA’s section-8 Company, IIIC, along with its industry partners and collaborators are developing the FAP Integrated Services (FAPIS) platform for FAP students as a single-window solution for all needs.
Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIITA) Prayagraj is an institute of national importance, which is governed by the act of parliament, IIIT Act 2014. IIITA has instituted a non-profit (Section 8) company IIIC which has built this FAPIS platform with the help and support of its industry partners under the supervision of its consultants, the heads of various consortiums and the National Coordinator FAP. Also, C3i Hub IIT Kanpur is extending support to us in developing the blockchain based 'Academic Bank Credit (ABC)' module for FAP students.
For the academic year 2022-23 IIITA Prayagraj is going to admit students under FAP framework
