Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Statement I:An institution in the field of higher education seeking deemed to be university status must have been in existence for at least 10 years

Statement II:A deemed to be university must have at least five post-graduate departments

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

Explanation

A deemed to be university must maintain at least five postgraduate departments, so Statement 2 is true.

Statement 1 is false because the minimum period of existence required for deemed status is not the ten years quoted here.

Statement 2 is true because a genuine deemed university is expected to run several postgraduate departments of high standard.

The existence requirement in the regulations is longer than the figure given in Statement 1.

Deemed status rewards sustained excellence in teaching and research in a chosen field.

Such institutions gain academic autonomy while remaining under regulatory monitoring.
