Abstract :
Aim: This article aims to discuss the conglomeration of the National Education Policy 2020 with the University Grants Commission and the other accreditation guidelines that are already existing and the directions for the future. It is neither for nor against the policy and doesn’t express any political views.
Background: National Education Policy released in 2020 has been discussed a lot in many forums, media, and publications. Anything introduced new would always have to face lots of critiques and challenges before it gets implemented. The governance of universities and institutions have become more formal and standardized with enormous documentation procedure. The release of the National Education Policy invoked mixed feelings amongst the academic administrators and those working on the accreditation side, as they envisioned more challenges and documentation to be faced in the future.
Results: The parameters of the National Education Policy were compared with the parameters of NIRF, NAAC, and UGC guidelines.
Conclusion: The conglomeration of the policy documents discussed in this article concludes that most of the points of the national education policy are already being followed by the institutions and it’s not completely new to be perceived as a huge challenge.
