Global mobility international students – UGC NET Question

The movement of students across borders to study in other institutions or countries is called student mobility. The stem describes both incoming and outgoing flows of students, which is the core idea captured by “mobility.”

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because “immobility” means lack of movement, contradicting the cross-border flows mentioned.

Option B:
Option B is correct as mobility precisely denotes the dynamic exchange of students between countries and institutions in the context of internationalisation.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since “isolation” suggests cutting off from international contact, not actively sending and receiving students.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because “stagnation” implies no change or movement, again the opposite of the global circulation of students described in the question.
