Given below are two statements: Statement-I National Board of Accrediation (NBA) was established by UGC. Statement II : National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) was established by AICTE. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
This question tests which body set up two national accreditation agencies.
Statement I: It claims the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) was established by the UGC. This is incorrect. The NBA was actually set up by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE); the NBA accredits technical and professional programmes such as engineering and management.
Statement II: It claims the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) was established by AICTE. This too is incorrect. The NAAC was in fact established by the University Grants Commission (UGC) in 1994 to assess and accredit higher education institutions in general.
The question swaps the two founding bodies. Because NBA belongs to AICTE and NAAC belongs to UGC, both statements are false, so the 'both incorrect' response is right.
Why the other choices fail: marking both correct accepts the swapped founders; the two options that mark only one statement wrong fail because the interchange makes each statement individually false.
Takeaway: NBA was established by AICTE and NAAC by UGC — the statements reverse them.
Correct answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
