The Higher Education Commission of India (HECI), which will act as a single overarching umbrella body for the entire higher education, does not include which education sectors?

The Higher Education Commission of India will be a single umbrella regulator for all higher education except medical and legal education.

Engineering and management fall within its regulatory ambit, so they are not the exclusions.

Pairing legal education with engineering is wrong, since engineering stays inside its scope.

Pairing management with medical is also wrong, since management remains inside its scope.

Medical education stays with bodies like the National Medical Commission and legal education with the Bar Council of India.

The commission will function through four independent verticals for regulation, accreditation, funding and standards.
