摘要

Indian higher education is undergoing transformative changes, particularly with the introduction of credit-based reforms under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. These reforms, guided by the University Grants Commission (UGC), play a pivotal role in fostering the internationalization of higher education. By enabling credit transferability, promoting intercultural skill development, and enhancing global awareness, these reforms are reshaping India’s higher education landscape to align with global standards. This chapter examines the impact and role of credit reforms in advancing internationalization, comparing India’s credit framework with those of other countries. Using descriptive analysis, the chapter identifies the dynamics of these reforms and their implications for global relevance and equivalence. The chapter highlights the processes and mechanisms necessary to strengthen India’s position in the global higher education landscape. The chapter concludes with actionable policy recommendations to facilitate internationalization in Indian higher education institutions, emphasizing the need for robust credit frameworks, cross-border collaborations, and inclusive learning environments.
