UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C and D reflect the essence of teacher professional development. A is true because specialised centres organise faculty development. B is true as induction orients new teachers to institutional systems. C is true since teachers must keep updating both subject knowledge and pedagogy. D is true because appraisal systems may recognise sustained development efforts. E and F are false because training is a continuous need and online programmes can significantly support quality enhancement.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it includes all four true statements on development centres, induction, continuous learning and appraisal linkages, while excluding E and F, which treat training as one-time or dismiss online modes.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it adds E, wrongly implying no need for ongoing development after initial training.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it omits A and thus fails to mention the institutionalised role of teaching-learning centres or academic staff colleges.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes F, which denies the value of online faculty development, contrary to current practice.
