Explanation
As per NEP 1986 the National Apex Body is meant to allocate resources, advise the government on policy, and encourage interdisciplinarity and interfaces among different areas.
Allocating resources across the higher education system is one of its major functions.
Advising the government on educational policy is another central role.
Encouraging interdisciplinarity and promoting interfaces among different fields is also assigned to it.
Evaluating the examination system is not listed among the body's apex functions.
Conducting research in higher education is a task for institutions, not the apex coordinating body.
