      abstract = {Higher education institutions (HEIs) worldwide are transitioning from single-discipline models toward multidisciplinary, clustered structures to enhance innovation, employability, and research productivity. In India, the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) strongly endorses this transition, aiming to reduce fragmentation and create holistic, comprehensive universities. This paper analyzes global literature, presents comparative statistics, evaluates institutional transitions, and examines the benefits and challenges of multidisciplinary clustering. Findings indicate that multidisciplinary HEIs demonstrate 35?60% higher research output, 28% improved student employability, and significantly stronger industry collaboration than single-discipline institutions. Policy implications emphasize institutional restructuring, curriculum integration, and investment in faculty development.},
