Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: One of the important and ambitious agendas of the current
government is to bring sweeping changes to education in
the country. This dream is narrated in the New Education
Policy (NEP) 2020 approved by the Union Cabinet and has
been published. The policy envisages restructuring higher
education in a manner that the student shall have the choice
to select a bouquet of courses that may contain core as well as
supporting content for his/ her intended career specialisation,
while giving a choice to also pursue one’s interests in related
or non-related fields. For example, a student may choose to
learn dance or literature while pursuing core education in
the field of technology or science. Such choices were hitherto
not available for the student. As envisaged in this policy the
current specialised institutes of engineering, architecture,
pharmacy, management, etc. will cease to exist and will be
replaced by institutes offering multi-disciplinary education.
The policy also prescribes an end-to-current system of colleges
affiliated to universities. Instead, institutes and colleges will
get autonomous status and offer their own programs leading
to degree/ diploma/ certificate as per the duration of the
study. Architectural education may also need to restructure
itself to fit into this national scheme.
