The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 seeks to reform the Higher Education system by providing flexibility to students in terms of choice of subjects to study and academic pathways. The policy envisages broad based, multidisciplinary, holistic academic programmes. One very important recommendation of the NEP 2020 is a creative combination of disciplines for study with multiple entry and exit points. Thus, the curriculum will become flexible by allowing combinations of subjects (for example Maths with Music, History with Painting etc.) and vocational education will be integrated with mainstream education.

The NEP 2020 also states that there will be multiple entry and exit points in the academic programmes offered at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with the aim of removing rigid boundaries and create new possibilities for students to choose and learn the subject(s) of their choice. This will also pave the way for students to have seamless mobility within or across the HEIs through formal system of credit recognition and transfer.
