DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

Explanation

Both statements are inaccurate about SWAYAM's development and its guiding principles.

Statement 1 is false because the current SWAYAM platform was developed by the Ministry of Education with NPTEL at IIT Madras, not IIT Delhi.

Statement 2 is false because SWAYAM follows three cardinal principles, not five.

Those three principles are access, equity and quality.

SWAYAM hosts free courses from Class 9 through the post-graduate level.

Its learning is delivered through video lectures, reading material, tests and discussion forums.
