Explanation
★Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct, so the answer is Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
★Under NEP 2020 the National Committee for the Integration of Vocational Education is to be set up.
★It is to be constituted by the education ministry, not by the National Research Foundation.
★So attributing it to the National Research Foundation is wrong, making statement I incorrect.
★NEP 2020 also proposes Multidisciplinary Education and Research Universities called MERUs.
★These model public universities are meant to match the highest global standards, so statement II is correct.
★Therefore statement I is incorrect while statement II is correct.
