UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 supports building strong data systems so that evidence on access, learning and resources can inform better planning and interventions, with attention to privacy and ethical use.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because without data it is hard to identify gaps, monitor progress or design effective policies.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it describes the constructive, improvement-oriented use of educational data that NEP recommends.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since using data only for public ranking can create stigma and unhealthy competition rather than genuine improvement.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because using data only for punishment can demotivate teachers and distort behaviour, which the policy explicitly cautions against.
