Match List I with List II. LIST I (Institutions/Portals) LIST II (Domains) A.…

Concept

Educational institutions and platforms are matched by their core mandate: regulation, curriculum resources, quality assurance, or digital course delivery.

The reliable method is to identify each body’s formal role first and then assign the corresponding domain; this avoids matching merely by similar-sounding education terms.

Application

1. NCTE is the statutory body concerned with standards and regulation in teacher education, so A maps to III.

2. NCERT develops national curriculum resources and school textbooks, so B maps to IV.

3. NAAC assesses and accredits higher-education institutions, so C maps to I.

4. SWAYAM delivers massive open online courses, so D maps to II.

Cross-check and contrast

The institutional roles are distinct and give the following one-to-one mapping.

• A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV assigns accreditation to NCTE and teacher education to NAAC, reversing their formal roles.

• A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III assigns online education to NCTE and school textbooks to NAAC, which do not match their mandates.

• A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I assigns school textbooks to NCTE and accreditation to SWAYAM, which do not match their mandates.

Therefore, the matching is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
