Key Points 

HECI (Higher Education Commission of India):

• The Higher Education Commission of India (HECI) is a proposed regulatory body for higher education in India, as envisioned in the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020).
• HECI aims to transform the existing regulatory landscape by replacing the University Grants Commission (UGC) and be responsible for overseeing and promoting the quality and excellence of higher education institutions across the country.

Verticals of HECI:

The NEP 2020 proposes the establishment of several verticals under the Higher Education Commission of India (HECI) to carry out specific functions and responsibilities. Each vertical will have a distinct role in promoting and regulating higher education in India. Here are the key verticals proposed under HECI:

NHERC (National Higher Education Regulatory Council):

• This vertical will act as the main regulator for higher education institutions.
• It will oversee compliance with regulations, ensure quality assurance, and take necessary actions against non-compliant institutions.

NAC (National Accreditation Council):

• NAC will be responsible for the accreditation of higher education institutions.
• It will evaluate institutions based on predefined criteria and grant accreditation status based on their quality and performance.

HEGC (Higher Education Grants Council):

• HEGC will focus on funding and financial aspects of higher education.
• It will allocate resources, provide grants, and develop financial strategies for the sustainable growth of higher education institutions.

GEC (General Education Council):

• GEC will be involved in academic standard setting.
• It will define the curriculum, learning outcomes, and guidelines for various academic programs offered by universities and colleges.
