UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 sees ODL and online learning as powerful tools to reach more learners and help achieve GER targets. It stresses that such programmes must maintain high standards and achieve learning outcomes comparable to face-to-face courses. Regulations will ensure equivalence and quality.

Option A:
Discouraging ODL would contradict NEP’s expansion and equity objectives.

Option B:
This option captures the balanced view: ODL is to supplement and complement, not undermine, traditional HEIs.

Option C:
Completely replacing campus programmes with ODL would remove important aspects of holistic development emphasised by NEP.

Option D:
Restricting ODL only to foreign students is not mentioned and would ignore domestic needs.
