NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY 2020 On Implications for Marian College Kuttikkanam Autonomous Fr Roy Abraham P. MBA, MS, PhD Principal, Marian College Kuttikkanam Autonomous
Key Changes Governance of HEIs light but tight regulation Emphasis on Research Autonomy to Faculty & institutional autonomy Restructuring of Degree Programmes Institutional consolidation and restructuring
Institutional Restructuring & Consolidation New vision - large, well-resourced, multidisciplinary institutions. Two types Consolidation of more than 50,000 HEdn. institutions (800 universities, 44,000 colleges, and others) into about 15,000 large, well-resourced, vibrant multidisciplinary institutions Universities with focus on research and teaching Colleges Autonomous degree-granting colleges Constituent Colleges
Consolidation & Restructuring of Colleges Transition from Colleges to University is not rigid College/University needs to be multi disciplinary Colleges need minimum of 3000 students Time period for transformation of colleges By 2030 become multi disciplinary By 2035 become degree awarding. However, the early adopters will reap their benefits
Institutional Restructuring Large multidisciplinary Universities or HEI clusters is the HIGHEST RECOMMEDATION of this policy Meant for well rounded and innovative individuals Transforming the country educationally and economically
Higher Education Institutions Multidisciplinary University Multidisciplinary College Multidisciplinary by 2030 Degree awarding by 2035
University Means? Definition: A university will mean a multidisciplinary institution of higher learning that offers undergraduate and graduate programmes with high quality teaching, research and community engagement. Programmes Under graduate Graduate Research What it does Teaching Research Community engagement
College Colleges can become Constituent College of a University Autonomous degree awarding colleges Constituent colleges are fully part of the University
Autonomous Degree Awarding Colleges Definition: Autonomous College will refer to a large multidisciplinary institution of higher learning that grants under graduate degrees and is primarily focused on undergraduate teaching. However, it would not be restricted to that and it need not be restricted to that and it would be smaller than a typical University. With appropriate accreditations AC can evolve into: A research intensive University/ A teaching intensive University Types of institutions are not water-tight but are along a continuum.

Academics Internships Credits from value based courses like Research Industry Righteous conduct (Dharma) Peace (Shanti) Love (Prem) Non-violence (Ahimsa) etc. Inclusion of credits from ODL Vocational education
Teaching Learning & Assessment Complete freedom to decide on Curricular aspects Pedagogical methods Assessment Test books and reference materials Broad guidelines can be given by the institution Grading Evaluation Students will most probably be joining for a course rather than a programme
