UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, D and F present a balanced integrity framework. A is true because clear regulations are needed to manage malpractice cases. B is true as cheating devalues qualifications. D is true since surveillance and seating strategies reduce opportunities to cheat. F is true because student orientation on ethics can prevent violations. C is false because leaking final papers destroys fairness, and E is false because penalties should be proportionate and follow due process.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it includes all the true statements about regulatory clarity, impact on credibility, preventive measures and awareness, while excluding C and E, which advocate harmful practices.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it adds C, which normalises pre-exam question paper sharing, contradicting exam security principles.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it includes E, which mandates permanent expulsion in every case, and omits A, so it lacks reference to clear rules.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it adds C and omits B, thereby accepting question paper leaks and ignoring the fundamental point that cheating undermines degree credibility.
