Abstract: India's initial Education Policy was enacted and put into effect in 1986. After a span of thirty-four years, the National Education Policy (NEP) for India underwent a comprehensive update, revision, and approval on 29 July 2020. This policy marks a significant milestone for India's education system, poised to elevate the country as an appealing destination for higher education on a global scale.The NEP 2020 stands on the strong pillars of "Access, Equity, Quality, Affordability, and Accountability," promising to transform India into a vibrant knowledge hub. It emphasizes essential systemic and institutional enhancements to regulate, govern, and promote multidisciplinary academics and research in Indian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).Numerous aspects of this policy present new opportunities for UK HEIs. For instance, modifications to the basic education system will better equip Indian school graduates to directly enter UK undergraduate programs. The introduction of a nationwide academic credit system will facilitate seamless credit recognition partnerships between UK and Indian universities. Additionally, a forthcoming legislation will allow top-ranked overseas universities (within the global top 100) to establish branch campuses in India. Concurrently, there may arise consultancy prospects tied to the policy's focus on enhancing educational quality.
