The National Educational Policy (NEP) 2020 is significant for higher education in India as it aims to promote multidisciplinary and flexible learning. The policy encourages the establishment of Multidisciplinary Education and Research Universities (MERUs) and aims to increase Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) in higher education. Moreover, the NEP emphasizes research, innovation, and internationalization of education. It also advocates for the integration of technology into learning processes and enhancing faculty quality, ensuring that higher education aligns with global standards and meets the demands of the evolving workforce.
