Correct answer: A
Correct chronological sequence: Establishment of the University of Madras → Introduction of the Indian Universities Act → Establishment of UGC → First National Education Policy of India
Establishment of the University of Madras — 1857. One of the three earliest modern universities founded in India.
Introduction of the Indian Universities Act — 1904. A measure that reformed university administration under British rule.
Establishment of the University Grants Commission (UGC) — 1953 (given statutory status by the UGC Act, 1956). Created to coordinate and maintain standards of higher education.
First National Education Policy of India — 1968. The country's first comprehensive national education policy.
Why this order? The events are arranged by their historical dates: the University of Madras was founded in 1857, the Indian Universities Act came in 1904, the UGC was established in the 1950s, and the first national education policy was adopted in 1968.
