The Quarter System Academic Calendar (QSAC) presents a transformative approach to restructuring higher education in India, addressing the limitations of the traditional semester-based system. The semester model, while providing structured academic planning, lacks flexibility, interdisciplinary integration, and industry alignment, making it less adaptable to the evolving demands of modern education and the objectives outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. QSAC introduces a four-term academic

framework, ensuring continuous learning, modular credit-based education, experiential learning, and competency-driven assessments. This study explores the feasibility and impact of QSAC in the Indian higher education landscape through a structured implementation at Aurora University. The research examines key dimensions such as student engagement, academic performance, faculty productivity, industry collaboration, and institutional efficiency. The findings suggest that QSAC enhances student learning outcomes, fosters industry-driven education, and optimizes faculty workload, positioning it as a globally competitive academic framework. The study emphasizes the need for policy-level integration, curriculum restructuring, and wider institutional adoption of QSAC to align with NEP-2020’s vision of a flexible, multidisciplinary, and employability-driven education system. The results of the study indicate that QSAC has the potential to enhance student success, improve employability, and strengthen academiaindustry partnerships. The paper concludes with recommendations for Nationwide implementation, curriculum redesign, faculty training, and regulatory alignment to facilitate a seamless transition toward a more dynamic and globally recognized academic calendar.
