What is the full form of 'NHERC'?

ANational Higher Education Regulatory Council ✓ Correct

BNon-Governmental Higher Education Rehabilitation Council

CNational Higher Educational Regional Centre

DNational Higher Education Research Committee

Correct answer: (A) National Higher Education Regulatory Council

Explanation

NHERC expands to the National Higher Education Regulatory Council, envisaged as the regulatory arm of the proposed higher education commission.

The reading involving a rehabilitation council does not correspond to any planned regulatory body.

The reading as a regional educational centre misstates both its scope and its function.

The reading as a research committee wrongly casts a regulator as a research panel.

NHERC is planned as the first of the four verticals of the Higher Education Commission of India.

It would regulate higher education apart from medical and legal education.
