UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 emphasises that fair assessment requires reasonable accommodations so that learners with disabilities can demonstrate what they know without being limited by their impairments.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because insisting on identical assessment conditions for everyone can disadvantage learners with disabilities and violates the principle of reasonable accommodation.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it describes the use of extra time, alternative formats and assistive devices that the policy recommends for equitable assessment.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since exempting learners with disabilities from all assessment would prevent monitoring their learning progress and undermine inclusion.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because academic assessment should measure learning outcomes, not physical strength.

Statements A, B, C, E and F reflect inclusive principles for ICT-based assessment, while D is clearly discriminatory. Alternative formats, time extensions and early attention to accessibility are common accommodations. Testing compatibility with assistive technologies and consulting disability services help ensure that assessments are both fair and policy compliant. The idea that accessibility violates fairness is mistaken, so D must be excluded.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it omits F, excluding the role of disability support services. While A, B, C and E are true, without F the collaborative institutional dimension of inclusive assessment is missing.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it leaves out B, and so does not mention time extensions as an important form of accommodation in timed tests. A, C, E and F are correct, but ignoring timing support gives an incomplete picture.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it includes all true statements about formats, timing, design, technology and institutional consultation while rejecting the unfair stance in D. It aligns with accepted approaches to inclusive assessment.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it omits A, ignoring alternative formats such as large print or audio. B, C, E and F are true, but the absence of A means the option does not fully capture the range of inclusive practices.
