पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option A (a, b and c).

Key Points:
• This question covers the foundational pillars of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
• Option 1 (a, b and c) is correct.
• Statement a: NEP 2020 restructures the 10+2 system to a 5+3+3+4 system, effectively expanding the mandatory schooling age bracket from 6-14 years (under RTE) to 3-18 years, including pre-school/Anganwadi.
• Statement b: It proposes the Higher Education Commission of India (HECI) as a single overarching umbrella body for entire higher education, strictly excluding medical and legal education.
• Statement c: A major hallmark of NEP 2020 is flexibility; there will be no hard separations between arts and sciences, between curricular and extra-curricular activities, or between vocational and academic streams.
• Since all statements represent major structural changes introduced by NEP 2020, they are all correct.
• MPSC focuses heavily on major policy shifts. Remember the 5+3+3+4 structure and the HECI exemptions.
• Key Takeaway: Remember: NEP 2020 introduces a 3-18 year age bracket, HECI (excluding medical/legal), and no hard separation between arts and science streams.
