NDEAR digital architecture – UGC NET Question

NDEAR is conceived as a set of principles and building blocks for creating interoperable, open, federated digital systems so that platforms such as DIKSHA, assessment tools and school management applications can exchange data securely and efficiently.

Option A:
Isolated proprietary platforms create silos, duplication and vendor lock-in, which NDEAR explicitly seeks to avoid.

Option B:
This option is correct because it explains NDEAR’s focus on interoperability and ecosystem-building rather than a single monolithic system.

Option C:
Relying on one private vendor goes against the openness and innovation that NDEAR encourages.

Option D:
Limiting digital initiatives to a single online textbook ignores the wide range of content and services envisaged in the architecture.
