Abstract: The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 highlights the need for digital transformation as essential to broaden access, improve quality, and achieve a 50% Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education by 2035. This paper looks at the connection between technology integration and digital teaching methods in Indian higher education, focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI). While government initiatives have improved digital infrastructure, reaching NEP’s goals requires changing teaching methods from being centered on the teacher to being student-focused and encouraging active learning. Ongoing challenges, such as poor infrastructure, the digital divide between rural and urban areas, limited digital skills among teachers, and ethical issues around data privacy and bias in AI, continue to hold back progress. For sustainable digital adoption, we need clear policies, training for faculty and ethical guidelines to ensure fair and responsible technology use in learning.
