ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true ✓ Correct

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Explanation

Both statements are accurate descriptions of the accreditation vision in NEP 2020.

Statement 1 is correct because the National Accreditation Council is envisaged as the meta-accrediting second vertical of the higher education regulator.

Statement 2 is correct since the policy expects accreditation to move toward a simple binary judgment in line with global practice.

The higher education regulator is planned with four verticals covering regulation, accreditation, funding and standards.

A binary system would mark an institution as accredited or not, rather than through graded scores.

This shift aims to make accreditation universal and less complex over time.
