Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
A historical commission’s recommendations should be identified by matching each statement to the commission’s remit and time period. The Indian Universities Commission of 1902, also called the Raleigh Commission, examined university governance, affiliation, teaching functions, and academic standards.
A proposal associated with a later body cannot be projected backward as a recommendation of this commission.
Application
A: Stricter rules for recognizing and affiliating new colleges match the commission’s effort to strengthen university supervision.
B: Expanding teaching work in universities matches its move beyond a purely examining role.
C: Maintaining the quality and standard of teaching matches the commission’s central reform objective.
D: Limiting the establishment of vocational institutes was not one of its recorded university-reform recommendations.
E: The Hartog Committee was appointed in 1929, long after the 1902 commission, so this statement cannot belong to its recommendations.
Cross-check
The Indian Universities Act of 1904 carried forward the commission’s emphasis on tighter affiliation control and stronger university teaching and standards. Thus the supported set is A, B and C only.
