UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

The question asks for the wrong statements about CBCS and the Academic Bank of Credits. Statement A is correct because CBCS is designed to provide flexibility by allowing students to choose from a basket of courses. Statements B, C and D are wrong since CBCS does not require identical course sets for all students, the Academic Bank of Credits aims to facilitate rather than restrict mobility, and recognised credits can in principle be counted by other institutions subject to guidelines. Therefore, the set of wrong statements is B, C and D.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it treats A, B and C as wrong. Statement A is in fact a defining feature of CBCS, emphasising flexibility and choice for learners. Including A among the wrong statements misrepresents the nature of CBCS.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it groups together B, C and D, which all conflict with the flexibility and mobility objectives of CBCS and the Academic Bank of Credits. It rightly recognises that uniform compulsory courses, restriction of mobility and prohibition of credit recognition contradict the reforms’ intent. By excluding A, it leaves intact the correct description of CBCS.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it identifies B and D only as wrong statements and omits C. The idea that the Academic Bank of Credits is meant to restrict mobility is clearly incorrect, so leaving out C fails to capture all the wrong statements.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it takes C and D alone as wrong and does not include B. Statement B wrongly denies the elective flexibility that is central to CBCS. Hence this option underestimates the number of incorrect statements in the question.
