C1 and 3 only ✓ Correct
D4 and 5 only
Correct answer: (C) 1 and 3 only
Explanation

The bodies that are not statutory here are NAAC and NCERT, since neither owes its existence to an act of the legislature.

Statement 1 NAAC is an autonomous body established by the University Grants Commission to accredit institutions.

Statement 3 NCERT is an autonomous organisation registered as a society under the Societies Registration Act.

Statement 2 NMC, the National Medical Commission, is a statutory body created by the NMC Act, 2019.

Statement 4 AICTE and Statement 5 NCTE are both statutory bodies set up by their respective Acts of Parliament.

A statutory body draws its powers directly from a specific law, unlike an autonomous or registered society.
