    sir, the previous method of providing answers was best. We could save the extra useful info provided with the options. But in the present form, we have to manually write the extra info.

    Please look into it.

    The answer seems wrong but it is correct. The option says : National Institute of Fashion Technology , established in 1986 is an statutory body

    The clause"established in 1986 is an statutory body " is incorrect. It was set up as a institue of Ministry of textiles without any statutory status in 1986. The Institute got its statutory status in 2006 via NIFT act 2006. :)
