- Statement I: IoE universities need government approval to have academic collaborations with any foreign higher education institution.
- Statement II: Universities with IoE status have complete academic, administrative and financial autonomy.
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
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
Correct answer: (D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true — Statement I is false and Statement II is true, so the answer is that only Statement II is true.
Explanation
★Statement I is false and Statement II is true, so the answer is that only Statement II is true.
★The Institutions of Eminence scheme grants selected universities wide freedoms.
★IoE universities are exempted from prior government approval for foreign academic collaborations.
★So the claim that they still need such approval is false.
★IoE status confers complete academic, administrative, and financial autonomy.
★This lets them design courses, manage funds, and run themselves independently.
★So the second statement about full autonomy is true.
