The New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 was launched on July 2020 after the Union cabinet approved it. The NEP aims to overhaul the country’s education system with several overdue changes.
A webinar organised by Education Promotion Society for India (EPSI) invited Directors of prominent Business Schools and management Institutions of the country to deliberate on the New Education Policy (NEP) and various aspects. Prominent speakers included Dr Bhimaraya Metri, Chairman, Board of Management Studies, AICTE, Dr Debashis Chatterjee, Director IIM Kozhikode, Dr J Philip, Founder & Chairman, XIME Bangalore, Dr. Jitendra K. Das, Director, FORE School of Management, New Delhi and Mr. Shreevats Jaipuria, Vice Chairman, Jaipuria Institute of Management, among others.
Chairman of AICTE, Dr Anil D. Sahasrabudhe touched upon various aspects of National Education Policy and aspects related management education and autonomy related issues in his inaugural address.
The topic of ‘Development of Road-map for autonomy and becoming a degree granting institution’ and its implementation was moderated by Mr. Shreevats Jaipuria. He made the point that NEP 2020 is expansionist rather than restrictive and should be used to make management institutions bigger and stronger.
Dr. J Philip, Founder & Chairman, XIME Bangalore mentioned that two most important aspects of NEP 2020 are the removal of divides between arts and sciences and streamlined regulation.
Dr Jitendra Das while touching upon the deliverable and autonomy by the Higher Education Institutions, shared his views by starting with a revisit to the background of autonomy in management education institutions. He cited the example of the IIMs in the 1960s, which were autonomous institutions teaching management, having flexibility and speed of decision making, which was more important than the ability to grant degrees.
According to Dr Das NEP 2020 is like a breath of fresh air and everyone should look at it positively, as a strategy roadmap or policy document and focusing on its effective implementation which essentially will be key since policy is one thing, and making it happen is another.

Dr Das mentioned that the 5+3+3 stage perhaps would allow choice to students to a greater extent driven by specific outcomes. It is important that institutions work solely with the purpose of fulfilling aspirations of students and create a proper ecosystem for delivery of higher education, which includes both infrastructure and more research rigour.
Earlier during the inaugural session Dr. Harivansh Chaturvedi, Director at BIMTECH and Alternate President EPSI, introduced speakers to the topic while requesting the speakers to focus on the impact on PGDM programmes offered in India by PGDM Institutions.
Dr. Anil Sahasrabuddhe, Chairman AICTE, said PG Diploma Institutions are autonomous compared to other Institutions and many of these Institutions are expected to come for graded autonomy. “NEP 2020 shall further open the door for autonomy and Institutions take the full advantage”, he said.
Dr. Bhimaraya Metri, Chairman, Board of Management Studies, AICTE and Director IIM Tiruchirappalli, in his speech stated that the NEP 2020 has provided golden opportunities to PG Diploma Institutions and is a landmark decision of the government of India which can bring huge transformation in education.
