Abstract
The Government of India published, after independence, nation’s third policy on education on July 30, 2020. This policy on education titled as “National Education Policy- 2020” (NEP-2020). This much anticipated education policy is a widespread policy covering all level and aspects of education of the country. Part ‘Two’ of NEP- 2020 covered the area of higher education and detailed about the expectations in this area. For an economically developing country like India, where the demand for a quality skilled workforce is very high it becomes necessary to keep a check on the quality of education provided in the higher education system. Assessment plays a crucial role in improving the quality of education by giving feedback. Normally assessment is done as objectives of education are formulated. Any teaching-learning process is incomplete without a proper assessment mechanism. National Education Policy- 2020 is expecting and suggesting fundamental change in the traditional assessment system in higher education. This paper is an attempt to explore the important recommendations made by National Education Policy- 2020 on ‘Assessment’ in the area of higher education.
