UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C and D together correctly describe the roles of regulatory bodies. UGC coordinates and maintains standards in general higher education, while professional councils oversee particular professional domains. These bodies do frame regulations on academic standards, infrastructure and quality and sometimes need to coordinate on approvals in overlapping fields. Statements E and F are false because coaching centres do not become universities automatically and regulators can prescribe teacher qualification norms.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it includes exactly the four true statements A, B, C and D and excludes the clearly false E and F. This combination captures coordination, sectoral regulation and standard-setting functions accurately.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect since it omits D and therefore ignores the need for coordination between UGC and professional councils in overlapping jurisdictions. It presents an incomplete picture of how programmes are actually approved.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it introduces E, which wrongly treats private coaching centres as universities, and it omits A, so UGC’s coordinating role is not fully represented.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes F, which wrongly claims regulators cannot set teacher qualification guidelines, and omits B, thus underplaying the role of professional councils.
