UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, D, E and F present a realistic view of BYOD and associated security measures, while C is plainly wrong. BYOD policies permit personal devices but require network segmentation, device tracking, awareness programmes and data protection rules. Allowing unmanaged devices does not remove security issues;it generally increases them. Hence C must be excluded, and the correct combination includes all other statements.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it combines all true statements into one coherent policy picture. It recognises the need for technical controls, behavioural guidance and data governance when personal devices connect to institutional systems. This option therefore reflects recommended practice.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it omits E and F, ignoring security awareness and data protection language. Although A, B and D are true, they do not cover the full range of responsibilities associated with BYOD. That makes this set incomplete.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it excludes A, which defines BYOD in terms of using personal devices on institutional networks. B, D, E and F are true, but omitting A removes the basic contextual statement needed to understand the policy domain.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it omits B and so fails to mention network segmentation as a key technical safeguard. A, D, E and F are helpful, but without B, the network design implication of BYOD is understated.
