Correct answer: (D) UGC

Explanation

The main governing body at the tertiary level of education in India is the University Grants Commission.

NCERT supports school education through curriculum and research, not tertiary governance.

CBSE conducts school examinations and is not the tertiary regulator.

AICTE regulates technical education specifically, a narrower remit than the UGC.
