UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A and B are correct because curriculum offers the framework and teachers adapt it to learners and context. D is also true since hidden curriculum captures the implicit messages about values and norms communicated by school life. C is false because ignoring curriculum goals undermines coherence and quality, and E is false since curriculum also specifies methods, resources and evaluation approaches. Therefore, A, B and D only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A includes A and B but omits D, missing the important notion of hidden curriculum as part of the teaching–curriculum relationship. Because D is also true, A and B only is incomplete.

Option B:
Option B groups A, B and C but includes C, which suggests that curriculum goals can be ignored without consequence. This contradicts the basic purpose of curriculum, so A, B and C only is invalid.

Option C:
Option C correctly collects A, B and D, emphasising framework, adaptation and hidden curriculum while excluding C and E, which misrepresent teaching–curriculum alignment. Hence A, B and D only is the correct answer.

Option D:
Option D lists B, D and E but retains E, which narrows curriculum to content alone, ignoring pedagogy and evaluation. Therefore B, D and E only cannot be accepted.
