Additional Information

• Education and the Central List
  • Education is actually a subject in the Concurrent List, allowing both the central and state governments to legislate on it.
  • This means that statement (A) is incorrect as it is not solely a subject matter of the Central list.
• Government Spending on Education
  • The government of India aims to increase its spending on education to 6% of GDP as per various policy documents, but this target has not been consistently met.
  • Statement (C) is therefore misleading as it does not reflect the current expenditure accurately.
• NEP 2020 and Medical Education
  • The NEP 2020 does propose flexibility in higher education, including multiple entry and exit points.
  • However, the specific provision mentioned in statement (D) about dropping out of MBBS with a diploma in nursing is not accurate under NEP 2020.
