Explanation

Among these, the major NEP 2020 higher-education recommendations are raising GER to 50 percent by 2035 and light but tight regulation by a single regulator, so Statements 1 and 3 are correct.

Statement 1 the policy targets an increase in Gross Enrolment Ratio from 26.3 percent to 50 percent by 2035.

Statement 3 it proposes a single umbrella regulator working on a light but tight principle.

Statement 2 setting up world-class universities is an aim but not framed as a numbered flagship recommendation here.

Statement 4 promoting research in science and technology is not the specific recommendation being tested.

Statement 5 opening 1500 more universities is not a recommendation of the policy.
