MERUs are envisioned as exemplary universities comparable to global best institutions. They will provide multidisciplinary education and cutting-edge research and serve as models for other HEIs. NEP 2020 sees them as anchors of quality and innovation in the higher education system.
Option A:
Small specialised colleges focusing on a single subject do not reflect the multidisciplinary aspiration of MERUs and therefore do not match the policy description.
Option B:
This option captures the idea that MERUs combine breadth and depth, teaching and research, and set benchmarks for other institutions, which is exactly how NEP 2020 describes them.
Option C:
NEP does not define MERUs as purely online universities; physical campuses, laboratories and research facilities are implied.
Option D:
Limiting MERUs to vocational certificates would ignore their broader research and academic missions and is not suggested in the policy.
