Abstract: This paper investigates how interactive learning approaches could improve student involvement, critical thinking, and academic achievement, thereby changing higher education in India. Interactive approaches offering a creative substitute for traditional lecture-based education include case-based learning, digital tools, gamification, and group learning. Current field research on the benefits and drawbacks of using these strategies at Indian higher education institutions are compiled in this paper. Data show that interactive teaching strategies improve students’ memory, motivation, knowledge, and employability skills, therefore giving them benefits. On the other hand, several difficulties prevent India from using these measures. The most important elements include different degrees of student preparedness, inadequate teacher training, the predominance of conventional classroom dynamics, and restricted student access to technology. The digital divide aggravates the difficulties of engaging target audiences in rural areas via interactive technology. Moreover, limited resources and conventional Indian educational approaches may impede the complete use of interactive, student-centered learning. For Indian students, interactive teaching approaches offer great promise even if they might provide difficulties.Overcoming these obstacles therefore obviously calls for institutional funding, faculty development, and legislative support. require funding from institutions, training for professors, and endorsement from lawmakers. The essay stresses the need of ongoing research and innovation to provide inclusive and scalable solutions that cater to the unique needs of India’s diverse student body. The use of interactive teaching methods in India’s higher education system can provide students with a more modern and engaging learning experience. In the long run, this would help pupils succeed in school and in their careers.
