  • Summary

    India has a large number of eligible learners ready to enroll in institutions of higher education. There have been numerous attempts on the part of policy makers to cater to the educational needs of such learners and equip them with the essential skills to confidently face the challenges of the competitive job market. These are effectively reflected in the recent government document called National Education Policy 2020, which suggests some fundamental changes to the existing Indian educational sector, including inculcating interest in research among Indian students. At present, some universities provide for undergraduate research as a part of their curricula. Some state governments, e.g., Maharashtra, and the national University Grants Commission have also taken initiatives to improve the quality of undergraduate research in India.
