UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 argues that many societal and scientific challenges require multi- and inter-disciplinary approaches. It encourages HEIs to create research clusters and centres that bring together different disciplines, with NRF support for such collaborative efforts.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because keeping research strictly within departmental silos works against the multidisciplinary emphasis of NEP.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it describes NEP’s vision of collaborative, cross-disciplinary research structures backed by funding.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect; banning collaborations is the opposite of what NEP proposes.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect since prioritising only isolated, single-author work would limit the teamwork needed for complex, real-world problems.
