The need of a new education policy in India was being felt for long and its introduction in 2020 was the demand of time in the changing world scenario. In present times, we are living amidst the sea of new emerging knowledge fields, with the geographic boundaries shrinking, so our education system should certainly be in sync with the potent education systems of the world. The framework of NEP 2020 certainly promises to serve that purpose. But the question arises, does it reconcile with our ‘mass education system’, where even the higher education is thought to be 'for all’, flooding the colleges every year with more and more students, but with no addition of teaching staff and infrastructure? Making vocational courses compulsory for everyone also poses a big challenge as per its feasibility and expediency in the present infrastructural situation of our conventional colleges.
Many challenges posed by NEP 2020 in conventional colleges are discussed in this paper, viz. Conducting exams twice a year in Semester system; internal evaluation, given 25% weightage of a course grade, with very high student-teacher ratio; running vocational courses genuinely in the spirit of NEP; lack of funds; accommodating and arranging classes for major and minor courses opted by students from other stream; practicability of online courses as regard to the access of internet to every student; future scope for students with certificate or diploma obtained in multi-exit option, etc. Few suggestions are also proposed for effective implementation of the policy fulfilling its objectives.
