Abstract [English]

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 signifies a transformative shift in India's educational framework by emphasizing multidisciplinary and holistic learning. This paper examines the new paradigms introduced under NEP 2020, exploring the benefits, challenges, and implications of embracing a multidisciplinary approach in higher education. It analyzes the policy's objectives, the integration of diverse fields of study, and the importance of flexibility in curriculum design. Additionally, the paper discusses the potential impact of these changes on students, educators, and the broader educational ecosystem in India.
