Abstract The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents a transformative vision for India's education system, aiming to create a holistic, multidisciplinary, and technology-driven learning ecosystem. Artificial Intelligence (AI), as a disruptive and enabling technology, plays a crucial role in realizing this vision. This research paper examines the intersection of AI and NEP 2020 in higher education, analysing applications such as personalized learning, intelligent assessment, faculty augmentation, and research innovation. It further explores government initiatives, challenges including digital divide and ethical concerns, and opportunities for building a future-ready workforce. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for equitable, ethical, and strategic AI integration to ensure inclusive educational transformation in India.
The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) marks a transformative shift in India’s higher education landscape, emphasizing flexibility, multidisciplinary learning, digital integration, and improved access, equity, and quality. In this context, Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerges as a powerful enabler for realizing the policy’s vision. This paper explores the multifaceted role of AI in implementing NEP 2020 within higher education institutions, focusing on its potential to enhance teaching-learning processes, administrative efficiency, research innovation, and personalized education.
AI-driven tools facilitate adaptive learning environments by analysing student data and tailoring content to individual learning needs, thereby promoting inclusivity and improved academic outcomes. Intelligent tutoring systems, automated assessment mechanisms, and virtual assistants support both students and educators, reducing workload while increasing engagement and effectiveness. Furthermore, AI contributes to data-driven decision-making in institutional management, enabling predictive analytics for student retention, curriculum planning, and resource allocation.
This study highlights the opportunities and challenges associated with leveraging AI in higher education and suggests strategic recommendations for policymakers and institutions. It concludes that while AI has the potential to significantly accelerate the implementation of NEP 2020, its success depends on a balanced approach that ensures ethical use, equitable access, and continuous capacity building.
