Given below are two statements: Statement I : By 2040, all higher education institutions (HEIs) shall aim to become multidisciplinary institutions and shall aim to have larger student enrolments, as per NEP2020 recommendations. Statement II: As per NEP 2020 recommendation, the aim will be to increase the Gross enrolment Ratio in higher education including vocational education from 26.3% (2018) to 50% by 2030. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
This question tests specific targets of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
Statement I: NEP 2020 does envisage that by 2040 all higher education institutions (HEIs) shall aim to become multidisciplinary institutions, each aiming for larger student enrolments. This is a stated recommendation and is correct.
Statement II: The policy indeed aims to raise the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education (including vocational education) from 26.3% (2018) to 50% — but the target year is 2035, not 2030. Because the statement gives the wrong year (2030), it is incorrect.
Since only the first statement is accurate, 'Statement I true but Statement II false' is the right response.
Why the other choices fail: marking both true accepts the wrong 2030 date; marking both false denies the genuine 2040 multidisciplinary target; the reverse pairing is wrong because Statement I is correct while Statement II is not.
Takeaway: NEP 2020 targets 50% GER in higher education by 2035 (not 2030), and multidisciplinary HEIs by 2040.
Correct answer: Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
