There are many highlights in NEP 2020, one of them is that higher education regulatory bodies namely University Grants Commission (UGC) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and National Council for Teacher’s Education (NCTE) will be merged into a single higher education commission.

Board exams for grades 10 and 12 will be made easier under the NEP 2020, board exams for grades 10 and 12 will focus on testing primarily core capacities or competencies rather than months of coaching and memorization.

# NEP also aspires to add more seats in the higher education sector. Sources point that 3.5 crore seats would be added in higher learning arena in this country.

Views

While the government has approved NEP, people have already given out their opinions.

G. Sharat Chandran, a retired teacher speaking about the medium of instruction till grade 5 or preferably till grade 8 being english said it remains to be seen if this point will be imposed on private english medium schools or not.

As per NEP, higher education institutions except that of legal and medical are to be governed by a single regulator.
