Which of the following come under the mandate of the University Grants Commission (UGC)?

The Commission's mandate here covers promotion and coordination of university education, setting and monitoring standards, framing regulations, and disbursing grants.

Statement 1 is a mandate because promotion and coordination of university education is its foremost statutory function.

Statement 2 is a mandate as it determines and monitors standards of teaching, examination and research.

Statement 4 is a mandate because framing regulations on minimum standards of education lies squarely within its powers.

Statement 5 is a mandate since disbursing and regulating grants to universities and colleges is central to its role.

Statement 3 on directly organising continuous professional development is carried out through dedicated development centres rather than being a core mandate here.
