UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 calls for exams at all levels to move away from rote memorisation towards questions that assess understanding, application, analysis and critical thinking, so that teaching–learning also becomes deeper and more meaningful.

Option A:
Increasing rote-based questions would reinforce the very problems NEP identifies, such as superficial learning and exam-focused cramming.

Option B:
This option is correct because it directly states the desired shift towards application- and analysis-based items for assessing higher-order skills.

Option C:
Eliminating all written tests and using only attendance would provide no evidence of actual learning and is not suggested by the policy.

Option D:
Sports and physical education are important but cannot replace academic assessment; NEP argues for balanced, not exclusive, focus.
