Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
When a policy statement is tested, every material element of the claim must match the official text. A change in a numerical qualifier, such as a ranking threshold, changes the meaning and makes that statement false.
Application
Statement I says that high-performing Indian universities will be encouraged to establish campuses in other countries. This reproduces the direction stated in NEP 2020.
Statement II uses a top-500 threshold for foreign universities operating in India. NEP 2020 uses top 100, not top 500, so this statement does not reproduce the policy threshold.
Contrast
The pair (true, true) overlooks the changed ranking threshold in Statement II.
The pair (false, false) overlooks the policy support described in Statement I.
The pair (true, false) preserves both evaluations obtained from the official wording.
The pair (false, true) reverses the evaluation of both statements.
Cross-check
NEP 2020 places the two directions together: high-performing Indian universities may establish campuses abroad, while selected foreign universities from among the world’s top 100 may operate in India.
Therefore, Statement I is true and Statement II is false.
