NEP 2025: Key Reforms & Highlights

1. Academic Structure & Early Learning Reform

Education in mother tongue or regional language up to at least Class 5, extending in some states to Class 8, with instruction in major entrance exams offered in multiple languages

• Retains the 5+3+3+4 format (ages 3–18), emphasizing play-based learning in foundational years, discovery-based pedagogy in preparatory and middle stages, and flexible multidisciplinary learning in secondary education

2. Assessment Reforms

 

• Class 10 board exams will be conducted twice annually, and only the higher score will count toward final evaluation—aimed at reducing exam-related stress

• The updated "No Detention" policy allows schools to retain students after Class?5 or 8 if minimum competency standards are not met, with remedial support provided

3. Vocational & Skill-Based Education

 

• From Class 6 onward, schools must integrate vocational training, coding, AI, cybersecurity, and soft skills alongside traditional subjects

• Over 50% of students to undergo vocational training by 2025 implementation targets
