Within this vision, English communication skills emerge as a critical competence influencing students\u2019 access to professional opportunities in an increasingly globalized economy. This conceptual paper reimagines English communication not as a basic linguistic requirement but as an essential employability skill shaped by NEP 2020\u2019s guiding principles of equity, excellence, and sustainability. It examines how higher education institutions can integrate English communication with workplace-oriented competencies\u2014such as academic writing, professional speaking, digital communication, and collaborative discourse\u2014to address persistent skill gaps among graduates. The paper also highlights NEP-aligned strategies such as multidisciplinary curricula, experiential learning, blended modalities, and outcome-based assessment to strengthen students\u2019 employability. By situating English communication within the broader NEP mandate of transforming higher education, this conceptual paper proposes a refined, future-oriented framework for empowering graduates with the communicative and professional capacities required for meaningful employment and lifelong learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> National Education Policy, English Communication Skill, Linguistic Knowledge, Digital Communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 57-60<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/57-60.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Lahangma Lawati DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/04011011 Abstract: The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) envisions a future-ready higher education system that prioritizes employability through holistic, flexible, and skill-integrated learning.
