Addressing the skill shortages in the country, enhancing worker employability, meeting industry needs and driving economic growth depend greatly on India's Vocational Education and Training (VET) system. However, this mechanism is not independent of challenges such as economic, social and institutional. This review paper examines the prospects and problems in India's VET system, which is essential for fulfilling the country's changing labour demands. These obstacles reduce the efficiency of VET by creating a mismatch between the skills taught and those that employers require. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 seeks to normalise skill-based learning by integrating VET into regular education. India's VET sector may significantly improve its role in creating a competent, flexible workforce that is in line with domestic and international economic demands by tackling these issues. These components have been incorporated in this study to give an in-depth review that will guide future growth plans for the industry.
