If an “Institution of Eminence” wants to set up a campus abroad it requires NoC from which ministry?   1) Ministry of Home Affairs 2) Ministry of External Affairs 3) Ministry of Education   Which is/are correct?

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has amended its regulations , allowing Institutions of Eminence (IoEs) to set up campuses abroad after receiving no objection certificates from the Ministry of External Affairs and Ministry of Home Affairs. The amendments also permit the IOEs to start new off campus centres, with a maximum of three in five years and not more than one in an academic year.   An institution of Eminence scheme has been launched in order to implement the commitment of the Government to empower the Higher Educational Institutions and to help them become world class teaching and research institutions. The scheme was announced by the Finance Minister in his budget speech of 2016. This will enhance affordable access to high quality education for ordinary Indians.
