Abstract: Internationalisation integrates international dimensions into teaching, research, and services. The study accentuates the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and its perspective on the internationalisation of education and evaluates the NEP 2020 parameters for internationalisation in the LIS programmes of two top-ranked universities of India and an open university; altogether, three universities were selected under study. Further, IFLA Guidelines for Professional Library and Information Science (LIS) Educational Programmes (2022) was used as a benchmark to compare LIS programmes in India. Studies show that the LIS curriculum in Indian universities follows IFLA guidelines to a great extent. LIS programmes in India have incorporated ICT application, theory and practice to meet global changes. However, there are some areas where there is a gap, like the lack of an accreditation system and less emphasis on the development of skills for providing information services and community outreach, which need to be addressed.
