UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 envisions the secondary stage as four years of multidisciplinary and flexible learning. Students can choose combinations of subjects across arts, sciences and vocational areas according to their interests, gradually moving away from rigid streams.

Option A:
Maintaining strict, non-overlapping streams runs counter to NEP’s call for multidisciplinary options and broader exposure in secondary education.

Option B:
This option captures the idea of flexibility and mixing of disciplines, which is central to the new secondary curriculum.

Option C:
Replacing all academic subjects with only vocational training would narrow opportunities and is not suggested by the policy.

Option D:
NEP does not abolish examinations at the secondary level; it calls for better-designed, less rote-oriented and less high-stakes assessments instead.
