UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and D accurately reflect how ICT tools are used in assessment, while statement C is false. Online quizzes do provide immediate feedback, computer-based tests can automatically score objective items and learning analytics can monitor performance trends. It is incorrect to claim that ICT-based assessment can never serve formative purposes; many systems are specifically designed to support ongoing improvement. Thus, the combination that includes A, B and D but excludes C is the correct answer.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it lists only A and B as correct and omits D. While A and B are true, D is also correct in describing the role of learning analytics in monitoring performance. Leaving out a true statement makes this option incomplete.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it selects B and D only and omits A. Statement A is also correct since online quiz systems routinely offer instant feedback. A complete answer must include all true statements, not just two of them.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it groups A, C and D as correct, thereby accepting C. Statement C wrongly claims that ICT-based assessment cannot be used formatively, which contradicts widespread practice in e-learning. Including this false statement invalidates the combination.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it brings together A, B and D, the three accurate statements about ICT-based assessment. It excludes C, which misrepresents the scope of ICT in formative evaluation. This option therefore aligns with the pedagogical use of ICT tools in assessment.
