Internationalisation strategies of HEIs – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and D present a balanced view of internationalisation. Exchanges and collaborative projects are well-known instruments for building global linkages, and at the same time institutions can maintain and strengthen local and national relevance in their programmes. Statement C is false because internationalisation does not demand the elimination of local content; rather, it encourages integrating global and local perspectives. Thus, A, B and D only are correct.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it includes A and B but omits D, consequently ignoring the important idea that internationalisation need not conflict with local and national priorities.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it adds C, which wrongly insists on replacing local content, thereby distorting the concept of internationalisation as additive and integrative rather than substitutive.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it selects B and D only and omits A, leaving out the widely practiced strategy of student and faculty exchanges as a component of internationalisation.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it combines the exchange and collaboration strategies with the recognition that strong local commitments can coexist with global engagement, while excluding C, which misrepresents internationalisation as a zero-sum process.
