Although enrolment in higher education has expanded significantly, many graduates lack industry-relevant skills and professional competencies. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 seeks to address these challenges by promoting flexible learning pathways, vocational integration, and skill-based education. This study analyses NEP 2020 through an employability lens using conceptual models and qualitative policy analysis. The paper explains that NEP 2020 has the potential to enhance workforce readiness by fostering multidisciplinary learning, experiential pedagogy, and lifelong skill development. However, the realization of these benefits depends on effective implementation and sustained institutional reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> NEP 2020, Employability, Skill Development, Conceptual Model, Workforce Readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 168-175<\/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\/05\/165-167-1.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Dr. Sunayana J.
