Noida, June 24, 2025
At a landmark education summit held in Noida, more than 500 Vice-Chancellors and academic leaders gathered to discuss the future of India’s higher education. The central theme? Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR), cybersecurity, and modern teaching tools must be integrated into the curriculum.
Hosted in collaboration with AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) and NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council), the conference highlighted India’s urgent need to modernize college education and equip students for a tech-first world.
Key Takeaways from the Conference:
- AI and data science to be introduced in all major undergraduate programs.
- VR/AR tools for immersive learning and lab simulations.
- Cybersecurity modules to build digital resilience in students.
- New-age assessments using AI-based tools to measure creativity, critical thinking, and digital literacy.
“Students must be prepared for jobs that don’t exist yet. Integrating AI into the learning environment is no longer optional,” said a senior NAAC official.
Why It Matters
India has over 40 million college students, many of whom graduate without skills demanded by today’s AI-driven economy. The call to embed future technologies in curricula is part of a wider shift toward education 4.0, which blends digital tools with academic rigor.
By aligning with the National Education Policy (NEP 2020), this initiative promises to transform India into a global hub for AI-ready graduates.
