UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and C summarise the essential elements of student grievance redressal. Mechanisms address a range of student issues, committees follow laid-down procedures and timelines, and effective systems build trust and fairness. Statements D, E and F are false because students must be informed about mechanisms, some frameworks allow preliminary consideration of anonymous complaints and formal processes are vital alongside informal support.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it omits C and therefore fails to highlight that grievance systems are meant to build trust and transparency, not just to exist procedurally.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect since it leaves out A, so it does not clearly state the scope of issues that grievance mechanisms cover, even though it refers to procedures and benefits.

Option C:
Option C is correct as it combines A, B and C, the three true statements describing coverage, procedures and positive impact, while excluding D, E and F, which minimise communication, flexibility and formality.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes D, which wrongly suggests institutions need not inform students about grievance mechanisms, contradicting principles of fairness and accessibility.
