- The Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishtan Bill proposes a single regulator for higher education in India.
- It aims to simplify regulation, reduce overlaps among multiple bodies, and improve transparency.
- The Bill includes verticals for standards-setting, accreditation, and funding.
- Institutes of National Importance, like IITs, IIMs, and IISc, will be included under the regulator.
- These institutions have historically enjoyed high statutory and academic autonomy.
- Concerns exist that uniform standards may restrict academic flexibility and innovation.
- The Bill does not formally amend the internal governance structures of IITs or IIMs.
- The reform balances regulatory consolidation with maintaining excellence in premier institutions.
