2. Introduction:
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is a comprehensive framework that
outlines the vision for education in India over the next decade. It is an ambitious
plan that aims to transform the education system to be more inclusive, flexible,
and student-centric.
One of the key areas of focus in the National Education Policy is the
evaluation system in higher education. The National Education Policy outlines
several prospects and challenges in this area, which we will explore in this article.
NEP 2020 higher education evaluation system represents a significant departure
from the existing Indian higher education evaluation system, it has the potential to
lead to more meaningful and comprehensive assessments of students' learning
outcomes.
I will discuss the prospects and challenges of the evaluation system in higher
education under NEP 2020.

3. Objectives :
• To determine critically Comparison between existing
Indian higher education evaluation system and NEP 2020
higher education evaluation system.
• To discuss the evaluation system in higher education in
the context of the National Education Policy (NEP) of 2020.
• To identify the prospects and challenges associated with
the implementation of the NEP 2020 in the evaluation
system of higher education.
• To provide insights and recommendations for improving
the evaluation system in higher education in accordance
with the objectives of the NEP 2020.

5. Technology-based Assessment:
NEP 2020 Evaluation System

5. Multiple Entry and Exit Points:
where students will have the flexibility
to leave a program after completing one
year, two years, or three years of study
and receive a certificate, diploma or
degree, respectively. The credits earned
during each level will be transferred to
the next level, allowing students to
resume their studies later.
Continuous Assessment:
Evaluation process will not be
limited to a final exam at the end of
the semester or year, but will involve
regular assessments throughout
the academic session.

6. Technology-based Assessment:
Includes online assessments, automated
evaluation tools, and digital repositories of
student work.
Credit-based Transfer System:
A credit-based transfer system, which will allow
students to transfer credits earned in one
institution to another.
Graded Autonomy:
NEP 2020 aims to promote greater
flexibility, continuous assessment, and
technology-based evaluation, while also
promoting innovation and competition
among institutions.

7. A critically Comparison between existing Indian higher
education evaluation system and NEP 2020 higher
education evaluation system
The existing system
focuses mainly on end-
of-semester exams and
theory-based
assessments.
Assessment Methodology:
NEP 2020 system emphasizes a
holistic approach that includes
continuous evaluation, formative
assessments, and project-based
learning.

8. Flexibility
Comparison
The NEP 2020 system provides more
flexibility to students by allowing
them to choose from a wide range of
courses, take breaks in their
academic journey, and transfer
credits between institutions.
whereas the existing system
has limited flexibility.
Technology Integration
The NEP 2020 system encourages the
use of technology in the evaluation
process, including online assessments
and digital evaluation tools,
While the existing system is
more traditional and relies on
paper-based assessments.

9. Comparison
Grading System:
The existing system uses a
percentage-based grading
system,
The NEP 2020 system proposes a
credit-based system, where
credits are assigned to each
course based on the hours of
teaching and practical work
involved.
Quality Assurance:
The NEP 2020 system emphasizes
the need for quality assurance
mechanisms and accreditation
processes to ensure that institutions
are meeting the required standards
while the existing system
lacks a comprehensive
quality assurance
framework.

10. Challenges of the Evaluation System in Higher
Education under NEP 2020:
 Implementation Challenges:
The system requires significant infrastructure and technological
support, which may not be available in all educational
institutions.
 Challenges of Standardization:
May be difficult to implement due to the vast differences in
the quality of education and infrastructure available in
different parts of the country.
 Lack of Faculty training:
One of the significant challenges is the lack of trained faculty
members who can conduct evaluations based on the new
criteria.

11.  Ensuring fairness and transparency
Ensuring fairness and transparency in the evaluation process can
be challenging, particularly in large institutions where the
evaluation process involves multiple assessors and evaluators.
 Resistance to Change:
The proposed evaluation system may face resistance from
students and teachers who are used to the traditional evaluation
system. It may take time for them to adapt to the new system
and embrace the changes.

12.  Development of appropriate evaluation
metrics:
The NEP emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary and
experiential learning, which makes it challenging to develop
appropriate evaluation metrics that can capture the
effectiveness of such learning approaches.

13. Recommendation or suggestion:
1. The new evaluation system requires a change in the mind-set of faculty
members towards evaluation. Faculty members should be trained on the new
evaluation methods and their importance. This training will enable them to
understand and apply the new evaluation system.
2. The new evaluation system is based on multidimensional assessment, which
means using various tools and methods for assessment. Institutions need to
design and implement assessment tools that are valid, reliable, and
practical for the students and faculty.
3. Technology can play a significant role in the new evaluation system by
facilitating the collection, analysis, and sharing of assessment data.
Institutions should integrate technology in the evaluation system to make it
more efficient and effective.
4. Students should be encouraged to participate actively in the evaluation
process. Their feedback should be taken seriously and used to improve the
evaluation system continually.

14. Conclusion :
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aims to transform the
higher education evaluation system by promoting a holistic and
multidimensional approach to assessment. However,
implementing this new evaluation system may present some
challenges. Here are some ways to overcome these challenges .
