NEP 2020: India's new way of learning, and how Stoodant prepares your child
Stoodant team · Published 2 November 2026
India's National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) changes what school asks of children: understanding over memorising, application over theory. Stoodant was built for this new way of learning from day one, so our students are ready for it rather than catching up.
What NEP 2020 changes
- Concepts over rote learning: lessons and exams test understanding, application and explanation.
- Competency-based questions: case studies, data and real-life situations, now a large part of board papers.
- A new school structure (5+3+3+4): Class 3 to 5 is the preparatory stage, Class 6 to 8 the middle stage and Class 9 onwards the secondary stage.
- Regular, continuous assessment instead of one stressful exam.
- Skills, curiosity and career awareness alongside academics.
What it means for your child
In Class 4 and 5, children build the foundations: reading with understanding, number sense and curiosity. In Class 6 to 8, subjects deepen and connect, and application questions appear in Maths and Science. In Class 9 and 10, board papers reward students who can think with a concept, not just repeat it.
How Stoodant is built for NEP
- Concept first, then real-world application, in every class.
- Live teaching in small batches, so teachers check understanding child by child.
- Classes that preview the next school chapter, then revise it when school reaches it.
- Competency and case-based practice built into regular tests.
- Progress parents can follow in the Stoodant app.
New-generation teachers who guide beyond the syllabus
Our teachers are a new generation of educators: doctors and medical students, a UPSC Prelims qualifier, a CAT qualifier, a psychology graduate and school toppers. They bring real experience from medicine, civil services, management and research into every class.
Because they have built careers in these fields, they can show students how school subjects connect to real work, and guide them towards the stream and career that suits them.
