Which of the following is an incorrect pair ?
NIRF – National resource of funds for research
Each pair links a national education initiative with its purpose, and the task is to find the pair in which the expansion or purpose is wrong. NIRF stands for National Institutional Ranking Framework. It was launched by the Ministry of Education in 2015 to rank higher education institutions every year on parameters such as teaching, learning and resources, research and professional practice, graduation outcomes, outreach and inclusivity, and perception.
So NIRF is a ranking framework and not a national resource of funds for research; the pair with NIRF is therefore wrong. NPTEL (National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning) is indeed a joint venture of the IITs and IISc that offers online engineering and science courses. FOSSEE (Free/Libre and Open Source Software for Education), run at IIT Bombay, promotes the use of free and open source software in education.
SWAYAM is the national MOOC platform, and its courses follow a four quadrant approach: video lectures, e-content or reading material, self assessment through tests and quizzes, and a discussion forum for clearing doubts. Since the NPTEL, FOSSEE and SWAYAM pairs all describe their initiatives correctly, they are not the wrong pair.
Hence, NIRF – National resource of funds for research.
