The National Education Policy 2020 is exactly what it takes to bring a massive change in the traditional system. NEP has touched all the arenas of education and aims at delivering state-of-the-art education to empower students, faculty, educators, and ultimately - the nation!One of the key transformations that NEP has brought is the introduction of a single authoring body that would take care of all the functions of higher education -HECI or the Higher Education Commission of India. You can say that it is a one-stop solution for all the needs of higher education institutions!Under the vast umbrella of HECI, there will be various verticals that would look after accreditation, funding for institutions, and academics. The highly renowned autonomous entities like National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), University Grants Commission (UGC), and All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) will no longer be in existence and will be swiftly replaced by these new bodies. Accreditation helps in building the reputation of the HEIs and most importantly signifies the quality of education.This is why most of the institutions pay special attention to getting accredited.
