India has had a one-stream system of higher education for decades now, where children would determine whether they would study arts, science, or commerce, typically when they were 17 or 18. And once they made a decision, this stream more or less decided their future career and academic life, with hardly any space for experimentation or multi-disciplinary education.
But with the introduction of NEP 2020 higher education reforms, India’s education scenario is transforming. The policy is fostering the necessity for flexibility, all-around development, and interdisciplinarity to equip the students to cope with the ever-changing global economy.
