Regulatory Reform

The Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan Bill, 2025, aims to establish a unified higher education regulator by subsuming the functions of UGC, AICTE, and NCTE. It strips the new regulatory council of authority to disburse grants or regulate fees, focusing instead on standards and penalties. The legislation aligns with the National Education Policy 2020 to streamline oversight in the sector.
