Survey Overview & Analysis

1. Survey Overview

The NEP Survey was conducted over a one-week period, from 22nd May to 29th May 2025, through an online Google Form. The form was shared via institutional emails and learning management
platforms to maximize accessibility and encourage participation. The aim of the survey was to gather student feedback on the implementation and impact of the National Education Policy (NEP) within
Vishwakarma University, Pune. The survey was designed to be inclusive and easy to access, ensuring that students from all levels and disciplines could contribute their perspectives.

2. Participation Statistics

A total of 165 students responded to the survey, comprising both undergraduate and postgraduate students from across the university. The survey received responses from every faculty, including Science & Technology, Commerce & Management, Humanities & Social Sciences, Design, and Law, covering all departments under these faculties. This wide representation ensured that the survey results reflected a diverse and comprehensive range of student voices. The data collected serves as a valuable resource for understanding student awareness, experiences, and suggestions related to NEP initiatives at Vishwakarma University.

3. Survey Design

The survey was meticulously designed to gather meaningful insights regarding the students’ understanding and perceptions of the National Education Policy (NEP). The questionnaire comprised a total of 30 objective-based questions, each carrying one mark, making the overall score out of 30.
To enable uniform interpretation and comparison of responses, the raw scores were later converted into percentages during the analysis phase. This normalization process ensured consistency in evaluating the data and allowed for a more precise depiction of overall trends and patterns among the respondents.
The structure of the survey included various types of rating scale questions that aimed to assess multiple dimensions of student engagement with NEP-related themes. These questions were crafted to
specifically evaluate four core areas: students' awareness of the NEP and its key components, their understanding of the perceived benefits that the policy brings to higher education, their suggestions
and recommendations for effective implementation of NEP within the university context, and the policy’s perceived relevance to their academic development and long-term career aspirations. The Maximising Human Potential design of these questions aimed to encourage honest and reflective responses, providing a holistic view of student sentiment toward the ongoing educational reforms introduced through the NEP.
