Board exams frequency – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 recommends that board exams become more flexible and low stakes. One suggestion is that students may be allowed to appear for them more than once a year, with the best score being considered. This reduces pressure and allows students to improve without losing a year.

Option A:
A single lifetime exam would be excessively rigid and is not proposed.

Option B:
This option captures the flexibility aspect of NEP’s vision: multiple chances, competency-based questions and reduced high-stakes pressure.

Option C:
Monthly board exams would be unrealistic and highly stressful for students and teachers.

Option D:
NEP does not abolish board exams; it reforms them to assess understanding better.
