One of the most prevalent challenges faced by the Indian higher education landscape is the gap between industry and academia, which has left several graduates underprepared for the real-time problem-solving requirements of the job market. Today, the industry is seeking technologically-savvy, innovative, and multidisciplinary leaders who can disrupt the business and research sectors with their new-age thinking.
In response to the much-needed industry demands, the revolutionary educational policy NEP (New Education Policy) 2020 was introduced. Unlocking new vistas for education in India, NEP 2020, when realised in its optimal form, is set to be the guiding force for advanced and innovative leaders of the future who are equipped with a multidisciplinary, industry-focused, and research-oriented approach. As a result, institutions in India have proudly begun to adopt futuristic curriculums with a new academic structure for both core and elective programs, as prescribed in NEP 2020.
