UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 argues that activities like arts, sports and clubs are not “extra” but central to holistic education. It suggests using the term “curricular” for all such experiences. This change reflects equal importance for cognitive and non-cognitive development. It also influences timetabling and resource allocation.

Option A:
Option A goes against NEP, which wants to break down artificial barriers between academic and other activities.

Option B:
This option correctly expresses NEP’s idea that all learning experiences form one integrated curriculum.

Option C:
Removing arts and sports is contrary to the policy’s emphasis on holistic development.

Option D:
Restricting such activities to exam time is unrealistic and not suggested.
