        abstract = {The Indian higher education system is undergoing a paradigm shift from teacher-centered approaches to learner-centered, outcome-based frameworks. This study investigates the influence of pedagogical shift and Outcome-Based Education implementation on educators perception, with institutional support as a mediating variable. A quantitative research design was employed using a structured adopted questionnaire distributed to educators from higher education institutions. Data from 29 respondents were analysed using SPSS and Hayes’ PROCESS Macro (Model 4). The findings revealed that both pedagogical shift and OBE implementation have a significant positive impact on educators perception. However, institutional support did not significantly mediate these relationships, although it demonstrated a strong direct correlation with educators perception. The results suggest that educators perceptions are primarily shaped by their direct engagement with pedagogical and curriculum reforms rather than institutional mechanisms alone. The study emphasizes the need for higher education institutions to strengthen institutional support structures and training initiatives to sustain educators adaptability to pedagogical and outcome-based reforms envisioned under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020},
