Correct answer: (C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Explanation
NEP 2020 does encourage high-performing Indian universities to open campuses abroad, so Statement 1 is true.
Statement 2 is false, as the policy speaks of the world's top 100 universities, not the top 500, being allowed to operate in India.
Outward expansion is meant to build India's global academic presence.
Inviting only the very best foreign universities aims to raise quality at home.
The mismatch lies solely in the number of foreign universities named.
A legislative framework was proposed to enable such foreign campuses in India.
