From Awareness to Acceptance: Student Perceptions of NEP 2020

Abstract This study examines the cognitive mechanisms through which student awareness shapes perceptions of the National Education Policy 2020 within higher education. While existing research has largely focused on measuring awareness levels, limited attention has been given to understanding how awareness translates into policy acceptance. Addressing this gap, the study conceptualizes awareness as a mediating variable linking institutional exposure to student perception.
Primary data were collected from 139 students in higher education institutions in Indore, India. Composite indices for awareness and perception were developed, and statistical techniques including reliability analysis, correlation, and regression were applied. The findings indicate that institutional exposure significantly enhances awareness, which in turn exerts a strong positive influence on student perception. Mediation analysis confirms that awareness serves as a critical transmission mechanism through which institutional initiatives shape student attitudes.
By moving beyond descriptive assessment, the study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence of the causal pathway linking exposure, awareness, and perception. The findings highlight that the success of large-scale educational reforms depends not only on structural design but on the effectiveness of awareness-building strategies. The study offers implications for policymakers and institutions seeking to strengthen stakeholder engagement and improve policy implementation outcomes in higher education.
