DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer: (C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false — The answer is that Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
Explanation
★The answer is that Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
★The NAAC is indeed a constituent unit of the UGC, so Statement I is true.
★The NBA is not a UGC body set up for technical programmes; it functions under the AICTE framework.
★So the claim about the NBA in Statement II is wrong, making it false.
★The NBA accredits technical programmes separately from the UGC.
★Thus only the first statement holds.
★So the answer is that Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
