Abstract
Higher education is at the center of India's ambition towards building a more robust education system and knowledge society to become a sustainable and leading world economy. To achieve this, the draft of the National Education Policy, India (2019) lays onus on the transformation of the education system in response to requirements of fast-changing, knowledge-based societies and strongly recommends "Autonomy" as a key player; the study, therefore, aims to critically review the existing examination sampling Higher Education Institutes across the globe to understand from their views, commentary and experiences of academic autonomy and its role in achieving optimal learning environment. This systemic literature review constitutes a comprehensive search for studies and articles in the Scopus database with case studies, empirical and theoretical models focusing on autonomy in higher education institutes. A thorough analysis of relevant papers is done to build a typology and provide macro and micro factors in assessing the role of academic autonomy in achieving the optimal learning environment in higher educational institutes. The study aims to aid education policy research. For researchers, policymakers, educators, and Higher Educational Institutes (H.E.I.s.), the Distribution of the articles based on the study as mentioned earlier and the sources which published the research is presented in tabular form.
