The Indian Higher Education System is the backbone for economic expansion, creativity and innovation resulting in the progress of the nation. With a huge network of universities, colleges, and institutes, India's higher education system is one of the world's largest, serving millions of students.

Considering the available store house of literature and need gap analysis this paper aims to investigate how competence frameworks powered by artificial intelligence might help to turn promise into performance, to examine the changing talent needs in Higher Education by looking at how the demands of academia, industry, and research are always changing and also to investigate AI's function in Competency-Based Talent Management.
