Universities have to embrace the paradigm shift
 Universities could focus on building unrivalled student experience through flexible program structures that
enable lifelong learning and provide learners with multiple entry and exit options. They could provide learners
with predictable schedules and opportunities for collaborative learning.
 Universities will have to address employability challenges by providing the required employability skills and
integrating with industry to provide greater exposure to students right through their university experience. They
need to enable development of thinkers, complex problem solvers and decision makers who are prepared for a
broad range of jobs across sectors and thus can be fungible across changing job scenarios.
