NEP 2020 Impact Review: Systematic Literature Analysis of 50 Studies

50 peer-reviewed sources from 2020 to 2025 were analyzed to evaluate India's National Education Policy 2020. The review, authored by Subhashree Sivaraman and posted on figshare in 2026, found 39 of 50 studies reported positive outcomes for the Choice-Based Credit System, while 41 identified significant implementation barriers like funding gaps. It concludes with evidence-based recommendations for policymakers and institutional leaders.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking policy implementation success rates based on reported outcomes for initiatives like CBCS and vocational integration.
• Identifying systemic challenges in higher education reform based on documented barriers like infrastructural gaps and faculty readiness.
• Evaluating regional disparities in policy impact based on the analysis of studies covering rural and urban HEIs.
• Developing evidence-based recommendations for funding and resource allocation based on the review's synthesis of 50 studies.

Strengths

• Analysis is based on 50 peer-reviewed sources, providing a substantial evidence base.
• Follows PRISMA guidelines for systematic literature reviews, suggesting a structured methodology.
• Includes quantitative breakdowns of findings, such as 32 out of 50 studies documenting successful vocational integration.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 44.0 KB DOCX file, indicating limited scope and likely containing only the review document itself.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative reuse.
