The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, notified by the Ministry of Education, Government of India, marks a decisive shift towards a flexible, multidisciplinary, learner-centric and outcome-oriented education system. At Techno India University, NEP 2020 is implemented in letter and spirit to ensure academic excellence, global compatibility and lifelong learning opportunities for students across disciplines.
NEP 2020 promotes integration of sciences, engineering, humanities, management, arts and vocational education, enabling students to develop both depth and breadth of knowledge.
Students are empowered to choose subjects across disciplines, opt for majors and minors, and design personalised academic pathways.
Learners may exit and re-enter undergraduate programmes at different stages without academic loss, supported by formal certification.
All programmes follow a transparent credit system aligned with national standards, facilitating mobility across institutions.
Emphasis is placed on competency-based assessment rather than high-stakes examinations alone.
Technology-enabled learning, online courses and blended modes are integral to the NEP framework.
NEP 2020 introduces a flexible and progressive structure for higher education programmes, particularly at the undergraduate level.
| Duration | Qualification Awarded |
|---|---|
| 1 Year | Undergraduate Certificate |
| 2 Years | Undergraduate Diploma |
| 3 Years | Bachelor’s Degree |
| 4 Years | Bachelor’s Degree with Research |
The four-year undergraduate programme is the preferred model under NEP 2020. It offers multidisciplinary exposure, research orientation and enhanced employability.
