Abstract: The National Education Policy (NEP) was introduced in the year 2020 after vigorous research and taking into consideration of all the views of the stakeholders to ensure that all the aspects are covered and made inclusive. Despite the research and the steps taken to ensure inclusiveness, the acceptance of change is always difficult. Hence, there is a great need to analyse and understand the stakeholder's behavioural intentions to follow NEP 2020 for successful implementation. Hence, the present study aims to understand the stakeholder's intention to follow National Education Policy 2020 using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). This study is based on the data collected using convenience sampling from an online survey. The results of the structural equation modelling indicate that attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control positively influence the intention to follow NEP 2020. This study is the first in the Indian context to explore intention to follow NEP 2020 using TPB.
