Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has introduced significant reforms in Indian commerce education by prioritizing experiential, multidisciplinary, and skill-oriented learning. This paper undertakes a comparative analysis of NEP-aligned commerce curricula in India and foreign educational courses across five critical dimensions: 1. Accounting simulations, Practical Marketing Projects, Capital Budgeting and Portfolio Management, Trade and Travel Studies, and Service Delivery Systems in India. Foreign educational models demonstrate strong integration of technology-driven simulations, industry-linked marketing assignments, and advanced financial analytics, fostering global exposure and professional readiness. In contrast, NEP-based programs emphasize contextual learning through internships, project-based assessments, and service-sector orientation aligned with India’s economic structure. The study identifies convergence in pedagogical intent while highlighting gaps in technological depth and international exposure. The findings suggest that strategic adoption of global best practices within the NEP framework can strengthen academic relevance, practical competence, and employability outcomes in Indian commerce education.
