UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 recommends that assessments use contexts, examples and texts drawn from learners’ own environment so they can meaningfully apply what they have learnt and demonstrate real understanding.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because relying only on foreign contexts can alienate students and make assessment less fair and less meaningful.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it directly reflects the NEP emphasis on local, familiar and culturally relevant situations in both teaching and assessment.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since purely abstract questions with no real-life connection may not capture applied understanding or higher-order skills.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because highly technical language that is unrelated to students’ experiences can become a barrier instead of supporting valid assessment.
