Changing scenario of HEIs with micro-credentials for reskilling & upskilling - ET Education - Education. Economic-Times of India

Unlike traditional degrees, these "bite-sized" qualifications focus on specific competencies and knowledge, offering flexibility and targeted learning. The Indian university system increasingly concentrates on micro-credentials and short-term certificate courses, a shift driven by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
