The New Education Policy (NEP, 2020) issued by the Government of India was a welcome change and breaking news amid all the global pessimism caused by the challenges presented by the Covid19 outbreak. NEP 2020, however, was only discovered by many people by accident. Many education professionals still need to forecast the changes suggested by NEP 2020. The strategy will emphasise helping graduate, and post-graduate students strengthen their technical and soft skills. It will re-enact an essential role in empowering the nation’s human capital to effect change. The employment-oriented relevance of education in equipping students with the necessary skill sets is acknowledged by NEP 2020. The government’s initiative aims to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development objectives, which include guaranteeing equitable access to opportunities for lifelong learning. However, businesses cannot find and hire people that match their expectations since of the lack of futuristic capabilities. The necessity for our educational system to be enhanced and the requirement for businesses to give on-the-job activities priority are the leading causes of this. The NEP 2020, however, is a disguised benefit that will help close this gap by equipping students with industry-relevant skills to create future-ready workers. By 2025, it hopes to increase higher education’s GER to 50% in terms of the acquisition. Although the education policy has impacted both high school and college, this study concentrates on NEP 2020 and how it will affect higher education and employability skills.
