Moving from Memorizing to True Aptitude | Dr. Prashant Bhalla at Digii100

Описание: In this segment from the Digii100 Roundtable, "Policy as the Catalyst: Shaping Digital Excellence in Higher Education," Dr. Prashant Bhalla (President, Manav Rachna Educational Institutions) shares how we can fix the biggest bottlenecks in Indian education. He explains that for years, HEIs focused too much on testing what students could remember from books. He believes the new move toward aptitude-based assessment is a major step in the right direction.

Dr. Bhalla also talks about the importance of collaboration. As a leader in EPSI, he works with a network of over 8,000 universities and colleges to share ideas and improve education for everyone. He points out that while the National Education Policy (NEP) is an excellent plan, the real work is making it happen on the ground in every classroom.

Key Lessons from Dr. Prashant Bhalla:
• Better Testing: Moving away from "knowledge-based" tests to tests that measure a student's true potential and skills.
• Personalised Learning: Drawing from his experience running K-12 HEIs to bring better, more personal learning models to higher education.
• Working Together: Using large networks like EPSI to help private and public HEIs collaborate instead of just competing.
• Focus on Action: Reminding leaders that even the best policy documents are only useful if they are actually put into practice.

Why This Matters Now: To reach national goals, we must change how we measure success. Dr. Bhalla’s session shows that by fixing how we test students and working together as a team, we can turn policy goals into real success for millions of learners.
