A framework for a curriculum to ensure minimum standard for flexible, experiential and multi-disciplinary learning towards achieving NEP-2020 goals

Abstract

A well-designed and futuristic educational policy is very much essential for a nation at different levels of education, since good education leads to economic and social progress of a nation. The education systems adopted by different countries differ by considering their own tradition and culture at different education levels to make the system effective. The Government of India recently has announced a new education policy, NEP-2020 based on the recommendations by an expert committee. However, there is a need for a specific plan to realize multi-entry multi-exit, experiential learning and multidisciplinary approach proposed in NEP-2020 for higher education in India, particularly Tier–II institutions. This paper proposes a framework enabling educational institutions to plan and prepare their curriculum ensuring various goals and objectives of NEP-2020. The proposed framework addresses the guidelines for Computer Science and Engineering programme and may be extended to other branches of Engineering.
