Option 1: This option suggests that the objective of the Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Bill 2010 is to allow IITs to launch courses in non-engineering disciplines like Medicine and Economics. However, this is not correct. The bill does not mention anything about allowing IITs to offer courses in non-engineering disciplines.

Option 2: This option states that the objective of the bill is to provide IITs autonomy in administration and faculty appointments. This is not correct. While autonomy is an important aspect of the bill, it is not the main objective.

Option 3: This option suggests that the objective of the bill is to allow IITs to set up campuses overseas. This is not correct. The bill does not address the establishment of campuses outside of India.

Option 4: This option correctly states that the objective of the Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Bill 2010 is to provide IIT status to eight new institutions. This means that eight new institutions will be granted the status of Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).

Based on the analysis above, the correct answer is option 4.
