UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 introduces the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) so that students can accumulate and transfer credits across recognised HEIs, enabling mobility and lateral entry without losing their previous learning.

Option A:
Blocking transfers after admission would entrench rigid pathways, contrary to NEP’s flexibility goals.

Option B:
This option accurately explains the role of ABC in supporting student-centric mobility and multiple entry–exit routes.

Option C:
Forcing students to stay only within their home district conflicts with the idea of national and even global mobility in higher education.

Option D:
Cancelling all credits when changing programmes would waste learning and is not in line with NEP’s recognition of prior learning and credit transfer.

NEP 2020 envisages NTA as a specialised body that offers high quality common entrance tests which universities and colleges can use for fair and efficient admissions.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because running school canteens is an administrative task unrelated to NTA’s testing mandate.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it describes NTA’s role in conducting standardised entrance examinations that reduce the need for multiple separate tests.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since internal assessment marks are normally determined by schools and teachers, not by a national testing agency.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because building classrooms and hostels concerns infrastructure development, not testing.
