Correct option is B
According to the
National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the
National Higher Education Regulatory Council (NHERC) will be the overarching regulator for higher education in India, except for the fields of
medical and
legal education. These disciplines are to remain under the purview of their respective regulatory bodies, such as the Medical Council of India (MCI) for medical education and the Bar Council of India (BCI) for legal education. The NEP aims to streamline regulatory frameworks to make them more efficient and less fragmented, but it makes an exception for these two critical disciplines due to their specialized requirements.
