UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A and B together express the core features of outcome-based accreditation. Statement A is true because such frameworks focus explicitly on whether graduates demonstrate intended competencies. Statement B is true since accreditation reports and scores are expected to feed into institutional improvement plans. Statement C is false because infrastructure is only one dimension and learning outcomes are central to evaluation. Statement D is false because accreditation agencies rely on documented evidence and data, not arbitrary judgments. Thus, A and B only are correct.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it mentions the evaluation of outcomes but omits the crucial follow-up action in B that links accreditation to continuous improvement.

Option B:
Option B is correct since it captures both the evaluative and developmental functions of outcome-based accreditation while excluding C and D, which misrepresent the focus and methodology of these frameworks.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it adds C, thereby suggesting that learning outcomes are ignored, which directly contradicts the premise of outcome-based accreditation.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it accepts B and C and leaves out A, wrongly indicating that infrastructure dominates and ignoring the central role of outcomes.
