Abstract	Since the publication of the National Education Policy 2020 (henceforth NEP 2020) on 29 July 2020, it has been debated and dissected from different corners. NEP 2020 advocates a wide range of policy reforms to promote India as a 'global study destination' by attaining the highest global standards in the quality of Indian higher education. For the first time, the newly formulated policy explores a new horizon, i.e. internationalization of higher education in India. Accordingly, the policy prescribes a series of propositions for internationalizing Indian higher education at home and abroad. It remarkably advocates opening branch campuses of foreign universities, encourages setting up overseas campuses of the high performing Indian universities and envisions catalyzing research. Still, it is highly imperative to cast another look at the reforms and propositions as mooted in the policy. The paper intends to analyse the pre-within-post-NEP initiatives from the policy perspectives in the area of internationalization of higher education against the backdrop of its present status and trends in India. The paper ends with some viable pathways to internationalization by delving into the major challenges and problems embedded within the system. (HRK / Abstract übernommen).
