The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 marks a significant shift in India's higher education landscape, particularly influencing Commerce and Management education. This study examines the policy's transformative initiatives aimed at fostering multidisciplinary learning, skill development, and industry relevance. NEP 2020 introduces major structural reforms, including the four-year undergraduate programme (FYUGP), Academic Bank of Credits, multiple entry-exit options, and a stronger emphasis on experiential learning through internships and vocational training. For Commerce and Management disciplines, the policy opens new avenues for integrating financial literacy, entrepreneurship, digital skills, business analytics, and global trade practices into the curriculum. While these reforms create opportunities for enhancing employability and aligning education with evolving market demands, they also present challenges related to institutional readiness, faculty training, and resource constraints. This article evaluates both the opportunities and the implementation barriers to provide a balanced understanding of the policy's impact on developing future-ready business graduates in India.
