Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
In a source-based institutional-classification question, membership is determined by the administrative department or official roster named in the stem, not merely by whether an institution offers higher education.
The reliable method is to classify every listed institution by its controlling ministry or department and then compare that set with the offered combinations.
Application
The official Government of India classifications give the following mapping:
A — National Institute of Fashion Technology is under the Ministry of Textiles.
B — National Institute of Design is under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
C — Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla is listed under University and Higher Education in the Department of Higher Education.
D — National University of Educational Planning and Administration is listed among the Department of Higher Education institutions.
E — Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeetha, Tirupati is listed among the Sanskrit and Vedic institutions of the Department of Higher Education.
Contrast
A, B, C only includes two institutions administered outside the Department of Higher Education: NIFT and NID.
B, C, D only includes NID, which belongs to the commerce and industry administration.
A, B, D only includes both NIFT and NID and omits two Department of Higher Education institutions from the list.
C, D, E only groups the three institutions placed in the Department of Higher Education roster.
Cross-check and result
Removing A and B because their administrative homes are Textiles and Commerce and Industry leaves C, D and E. Therefore, the supported combination is C, D, E only.
