NEP 2020 argues that regulators should set high but clear quality norms and then allow institutions autonomy in how to meet them. This is described as “light but tight” regulation. The system should be tight on basic requirements and transparency, but light on day-to-day interference. Therefore this option reflects the core idea.
Option A:
This option describes heavy micromanagement of institutions by regulators, which is the opposite of the “light” approach to day-to-day control that NEP recommends.
Option B:
This option explains that regulation should focus on outcomes and essential conditions, not on controlling every detail. It supports institutional creativity while ensuring accountability, and therefore reflects NEP’s idea of “light but tight”.
Option C:
Total absence of regulation would risk poor quality and exploitation; NEP does not support this.
Option D:
Fee issues are important but only one part of regulation; NEP insists that academic quality, transparency and governance must also be regulated.
