UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 proposes HECI to simplify and rationalise the regulatory architecture in higher education. It will house four verticals dealing with regulation, accreditation, funding and standards. This reduces overlapping roles of existing bodies like UGC and AICTE. Professional fields like medical and legal education have separate regulators.

Option A:
This option summarises the key idea of HECI as a light but tight umbrella body for higher education governance.

Option B:
School education remains under different arrangements and is not the primary mandate of HECI.

Option C:
NEP does not propose a single mega university; instead, it aims for many quality multidisciplinary HEIs.

Option D:
Regulating teacher salaries in schools is outside HECI’s higher education focus.
