This eBook analyzes the evolving landscape of STEM education and digital transformation in India’s higher education sector. Drawing from the 2025 Higher Education Trends Report by DigitalEd, it identifies five systemic challenges: limited device access, heavy faculty workload, exam-centric assessments, persistent math learning gaps, and the cautious adoption of Artificial Intelligence. The report emphasizes that true digital transformation requires more than tools—it demands scalable, inclusive, and pedagogy-driven models that address structural barriers. It offers insights for educators, researchers, policymakers, and EdTech practitioners seeking to strengthen India’s higher education ecosystem and move from digital readiness to digital maturity.
