Which of the following approaches as per NEP-2020 cannot be considered as an approach of experiential learning?

Correct option is C

Solution: Correct Answer: (c) Reduction of curriculum content
Explanation:
Experiential learning means learning by doing—students actively participate, explore, create, collaborate, observe, and reflect.
Storytelling, exploration-based tasks, and art-integration all give direct experiences, making learning meaningful and hands-on.
But reducing curriculum content is not an experiential method. It is a structural/administrative reform to allow more depth of learning, but by itself it does not provide any experiential activity.
Hence, option (c) is not an experiential learning approach under NEP-2020.
Information Booster:
Experiential Learning in NEP-2020 includes:
→Learning by practice, exploration, and real-life experiences
→Project-based learning, inquiry-based learning
Storytelling pedagogy (strengthens imagination & comprehension)
→Art-integrated learning (enhances creativity & understanding of concepts)
→Hands-on activities, field visits, group tasks
→Problem-solving and reflective thinking
Additional Knowledge:
→NEP 2020 strongly promotes constructivist learning, where students construct their own understanding through active involvement.
→To support experiential learning, NEP encourages reduction in curriculum load, but this is indirectly supportive—not a teaching approach itself.
→Experiential learning improves retention, motivation, creativity, critical thinking and connects classroom to real life.
