Explanation
★Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct, so that is the answer.
★NEP 2020 proposes the Higher Education Commission of India with four verticals.
★Accreditation is handled by the National Accreditation Council, not the General Education Council.
★The General Education Council sets learning standards, so Statement I is wrong.
★NEP 2020 does aim, over 15 years, for all HEIs to become self-governing through graded autonomy.
★So Statement II is correct, making only the second statement true.
