Explanation

Within the higher education regulator, the National Higher Education Regulatory Council is the single-point regulator, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council handles accreditation of institutions, the Higher Education Grants Council manages funding and financing, and the General Education Council formulates the national higher education qualification framework.

The regulatory council is designed as one common regulator replacing the earlier multiple bodies.

Accreditation, the quality certification of institutions, is the accreditation council's role.

Funding and financing of institutions is separated out and given to the grants council.

Framing the qualification framework that defines learning levels and outcomes belongs to the general education council.

These verticals sit under the umbrella structure that NEP 2020 calls the Higher Education Commission of India.
