In the context of India’s dynamic economic and educational landscape,
the employability of commerce graduates has emerged as a critical concern for
policymakers, academia, and industry stakeholders alike. Traditionally,
commerce education in India has catered to foundational knowledge in
accounting, finance, taxation, and business management. However, with the
rapidly evolving nature of the job market—characterized by digitization,
automation, and global integration—there has been a pressing need to re-evaluate
the relevance and responsiveness of commerce curricula to contemporary skill
requirements. In my research “TRENDS IN EMPLOYABILITY OF COMMERCE GRADUATES IN
INDIA: PRE AND POST NEP 2020 VISION” aim to understand the employment
statistics before and after implementation of the New Education Policy 2020 and
the research also focus on objective, benefit and key changes in NEP-2020. For
this research we have use secondary source of data such as internet, books
journal, magazine, newspaper etc. to collects the data. Our data is collected
from INDIA SKILLS REPORT, NASSCOM, CMIE, NSDC DATA ETC. To
analyze the objective of our study we have used percentage, frequencies,
pie-chart, bar diagram etc. With the launch of NEP 2020, India’s higher
education system entered a transformative phase. The policy envisions a
holistic, flexible, and multidisciplinary approach to education, with a clear
emphasis on employability, entrepreneurial skills, and lifelong learning. Key
reforms such as the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC), multiple entry-exit
options, integration of vocational and professional education, and the push
towards digital and blended learning are intended to make commerce graduates
more future-ready. NEP also advocates for stronger collaboration between educational
institutions and industry, enhancing internship and apprenticeship
opportunities, and introducing value-added courses in areas like fintech,
digital marketing, ESG accounting, and data analytics. This study aims to
explore the trends in the employability of commerce graduates by conducting a
comparative analysis of the pre-NEP and post-NEP landscapes. It examines
secondary data from government reports, employability indexes, academic
literature, and corporate hiring practices. The research also identifies
emerging patterns, challenges in policy implementation, and regional
disparities in employability outcomes.
