UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C, D and F offer a comprehensive view of knowledge management. Systems can store explicit documents, communities of practice exchange tacit know-how, metadata and tagging support retrieval, culture influences sharing and taxonomies/folksonomies are structures for organising resources. Statement E is false because documents should be reviewed and updated over time to remain accurate. Therefore all statements except E are correct, and the right combination is A, B, C, D and F.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it omits F and does not mention classification approaches, which are important for organising knowledge repositories. A, B, C and D are true but not exhaustive.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it leaves out B and thus ignores communities of practice as a channel for tacit knowledge sharing. A, C, D and F are correct, yet the combination is incomplete.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it includes all substantive elements of knowledge management while rejecting the notion that stored documents never need revision. It emphasises both technical and human dimensions of managing knowledge.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes E, which claims documents never need updating. This contradicts the principle of keeping knowledge current, so the presence of E makes the option wrong.
