Abstract
In the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of higher education, multiple entry and exit points (MEEPs) are emerging as a critical innovation to increase flexibility and inclusivity. This paper explores the conceptualization, implementation, and implications of the MEEP system in higher education, particularly in the context of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 introduced in India. The system allows learners to pause their education, return at a later stage, and earn qualifications at different levels, ensuring that education adapts to individual needs and life circumstances. Through a multidisciplinary analysis, this paper aims to present the benefits of MEEP in increasing accessibility, fostering lifelong learning, and enhancing student autonomy while also addressing potential challenges related to administrative infrastructure, recognition of skills, and workforce readiness. The findings suggest that MEEPs, with proper implementation and supportive frameworks, have the potential to transform the educational landscape into a learner-centred system that is adaptable to societal and economic demands.
