Abstract	The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents a transformative shift in India’s education system, emphasizing skill-based learning, digital integration, and a multidisciplinary approach to enhance youth empowerment. This study examines its impact through a case study of Maharani Laxmi Bai College, Bhopal, analyzing students' perceptions of employment opportunities, digital education, inclusivity, research and innovation, mental health, and academic flexibility. A structured questionnaire comprising 20 key questions was administered to 50 female students. The results indicate strong support for NEP 2020, with 85% acknowledging its role in improving employment prospects, 75% favoring digital education, 80% appreciating its inclusivity, 70% recognizing its contribution to research, 65% highlighting mental health initiatives, and 90% endorsing subject selection flexibility. The study identifies key challenges in implementation and offers recommendations for optimizing the policy’s effectiveness, ensuring a more equitable and future-ready education system.
