Advantages NEP 2020 offers to B.Tech students
The introduction of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has brought transformative changes in the Indian education system, especially benefiting students by making engineering education more flexible, multidisciplinary, and aligned with global standards. For aspirants and students, these reforms open up new academic and career opportunities while fostering a more holistic and industry-relevant learning environment. Flexibility in subject choice and multidisciplinary learning One of the most significant advantages of NEP 2020 for students is the removal of rigid subject prerequisites. Traditionally, admission to engineering programs required students to have studied Physics and Mathematics in their 12th standard. The NEP 2020 allows students to enter or B.E. programs with a broader range of subjects. They include Computer Science, Biotechnology, Agriculture, Business Studies, Entrepreneurship, and more, besides Physics and Mathematics. This flexibility encourages students from diverse academic backgrounds to pursue engineering, broadening the talent pool and fostering multidisciplinary education. Students can now combine engineering with humanities, management, or sciences, promoting innovative thinking and problem-solving skills essential for modern technological challenges. Introduction of bridge courses To support students who enter engineering without traditional subjects like Physics and Mathematics, NEP mandates the introduction of bridge courses in these foundational areas during the initial semesters. This ensures that all students, regardless of their prior academic background, develop a strong conceptual base necessary for engineering studies. These bridge courses help level the playing field and reduce dropout rates by providing tailored academic support, thereby enhancing students' confidence and competence in core engineering subjects. Emphasis on multidisciplinary and holistic education The NEP 2020 promotes a multidisciplinary approach, allowing engineering students to study a variety of subjects, including arts, humanities, and social sciences. This diverse educational experience fosters creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability—skills that are essential in the rapidly evolving technology industry. For example, a student specialising in Artificial Intelligence can also study psychology or cognitive science, enhancing their understanding of human cognition and improving AI algorithms. This holistic education prepares students not just as engineers but as innovators and leaders capable of addressing complex real-world problems. Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) NEP 2020 introduces the concept of an Academic Bank of Credits, allowing students to earn and accumulate credits from different institutions and programs. This system offers greater flexibility in course selection and pacing, enabling students to customise their learning paths and explore interdisciplinary subjects without losing academic progress. For students, this allows them to take courses from other universities or online platforms, thereby enriching their knowledge and skills while pursuing their degree. Focus on research and innovation NEP 2020 emphasises strengthening research culture at the undergraduate level. Engineering colleges are encouraged to integrate research and innovation into the curriculum, enabling students to engage in hands-on projects, internships, and industry collaborations early in their academic journey. This exposure equips students with practical skills and a problem-solving mindset, making them more industry-ready and competitive in the global job market. Inclusion of emerging technologies To keep pace with technological advancements, NEP 2020 mandates the inclusion of emerging and futuristic technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Robotics, and Cybersecurity in the engineering curriculum. This ensures that students are trained in cutting-edge fields, preparing them for future career opportunities and innovation-driven roles. Institutions are required to offer at least one course related to emerging technologies, fostering continuous learning and adaptability among students. Improved Quality and Accreditation The policy mandates uniform accreditation and quality standards for both public and private institutions, ensuring that engineering education adheres to high academic and industry standards nationwide. This helps students gain degrees that are recognised nationally and internationally, enhancing their employability and prospects for higher education abroad. Greater autonomy and flexibility for institutions The new policy provides higher education institutions with more autonomy to create curricula, implement new courses, and innovate teaching methods that align with industry needs and student interests.. This flexibility enables engineering colleges to stay updated with technological trends and tailor programs that better serve student aspirations. Integrated and accelerated degree programs The policy promotes integrated undergraduate and postgraduate programs, allowing students to complete their and degrees in a shorter duration if desired. This reduces the time and financial strain on students while allowing them to enter the workforce or research fields more quickly. Focus on skill development and employability NEP 2020 emphasises vocational education and skill development alongside traditional academics. Engineering students develop essential skills in entrepreneurship, communication, and critical thinking, which are crucial for success in the global job market. Promotion of online and digital learning In response to recent global challenges, NEP 2020 encourages the use of online education and digital platforms to supplement traditional learning. This hybrid approach provides students with access to a vast array of resources, expert lectures, and collaborative tools, enhancing learning flexibility and reach. Focus on equity and inclusion NEP 2020 aims to make technical education more accessible to underrepresented and disadvantaged groups through scholarships, reservations, and support programs. This democratisation of education ensures that talented students from all backgrounds can pursue engineering careers, contributing to a diverse and inclusive workforce2. Conclusion The National Education Policy 2020 marks a historic shift in Indian higher education, particularly benefiting students by providing greater flexibility, multidisciplinary learning opportunities, enhanced research exposure, and alignment with emerging technologies. It fosters a more inclusive, innovative, and globally competitive educational environment that prepares engineering graduates to excel in a rapidly changing world. With these reforms, students can expect a more personalised, skill-oriented, and future-ready education that not only equips them with technical knowledge but also nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and lifelong learning abilities essential for success in the 21st century.

X withholds Reuters primary handle in India acting on legal demand
India's Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (I&B), too, has yet to address the restriction through official channels. The news agency, which employs 2,600 journalists across 165 countries, is yet to issue an official statement in response to the restriction. Reuters is the news and media division of the Thomson Reuters Corporation, headquartered in Toronto. New Delhi: At the stroke of the midnight hour on 6 July, the primary and world 'X' handles of the Reuters news agency were 'withheld' in India 'in response to a legal demand'. It is unclear at this time whether the restriction was initiated at the request of a competent Indian court or the government, since more than 30 active secondary Reuters handles on X (formerly Twitter) can still be accessed by users in India. The Reuters news website can still be accessed in India at this time. In previous instances of X restricting access to accounts in India, 'in response to a legal demand', the platform with upwards of 20 million Indian users has issued statements through its Global Government Affairs handle. For instance, on 8 May, 2025, X issued a statement saying it had 'received executive orders from the Indian government' requiring it to 'block over 8,000 accounts in India, subject to potential penalties including significant fines and imprisonment of the company's local employees'. Terms of service of the micro-blogging platform, of which Tesla CEO Elon Musk owns '9.6 percent stake' according to a 2022 Reuters report, say all 'legal requests' are submitted via X's legal request submissions site. Adding, 'Receipt of correspondence by this means does not waive any objections, including the lack of jurisdiction or proper service.' In its statement in May, X had specified that 'orders' received by the Indian government '…include demands to block access in India to accounts belonging to international news organizations and prominent X users'. The 255-word statement went on to say that 'in most cases' the Indian government 'has not specified which posts from an account have violated India's local laws' and, for 'a significant number of accounts, we (X) did not receive any evidence or justification to block the accounts'. Through the statement, the platform Musk acquired in October 2022 also expressed its 'disagreement' with the Indian government's 'demands'. 'Blocking entire accounts is not only unnecessary, it amounts to censorship of existing and future content, and is contrary to the fundamental right of free speech,' it submitted, following up with: 'However, due to legal restrictions, we are unable to publish the executive orders at this time.' This is a developing story (Edited by Amrtansh Arora) Also Read: Govt asked X to take down Oppn posts on Amit Shah's Ambedkar remark, 'fabricated' content on Jay Shah
