Explanations –
Statements 1 and 2 are incorrect. The Study in India (SII) initiative does not aim to facilitate research collaboration between IITs and ISRO. Instead, it is a flagship program launched by the Ministry of Education to position India as a global education hub and attract international students to Indian higher education institutions. The Study in India portal is managed by the Ministry of Education (MoE) and executed by EdCIL (Educational Consultants India Limited), a Miniratna company under the Ministry of Education. The UGC is not directly responsible for managing the portal.
