UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A and B correctly describe good internal assessment practices. Statement A is true because internal assessment typically uses a variety of tools such as tests, assignments and presentations. Statement B is also true as fairness requires that students know the criteria, weightages and expectations in advance. Statement C is false since proper documentation and records of marks are essential for accountability. Statement D is false because many systems legitimately combine internal and end-semester marks to compute final grades. Thus, A and B only are correct.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it includes the two statements that reflect accepted assessment practices, highlighting multiple tools and the need for transparency, while excluding C and D, which contradict accountability and common grading structures.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it adds C, implying that arbitrary award of marks without records is acceptable, which violates the principles of fairness and accountability.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it pairs B and C and omits A, thereby accepting the incorrect claim in C and ignoring the variety of internal assessment tools mentioned in A.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it treats all four statements as correct, endorsing both arbitrary marking and the blanket rejection of combining internal and external assessment, neither of which aligns with standard practice.
