UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, D and F together present a balanced understanding of internationalisation. A is true because exchanges and joint programmes are common tools for global engagement. B is true as internationalisation need not displace local content and priorities. D is true since collaborative research with foreign institutions advances knowledge and global networks. F is true because virtual exchanges and online collaborations expand international exposure beyond physical mobility. C is false as policies encourage multilingual and culturally relevant curricula, and E is false because fee structures for foreign students depend on institutional and policy decisions, not a fixed rule.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it omits F, failing to acknowledge the growing role of online and virtual forms of internationalisation.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it combines four true statements on exchanges, local relevance, collaborative research and virtual mobility, excluding C and E which misrepresent language and fee implications.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it includes C, which wrongly requires abandonment of Indian languages, conflicting with the principle of integrating global and local perspectives.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes E, which imposes a uniform fee rule for foreign students and ignores the diversity of institutional policies.

Statements A, B and D present a balanced view of internationalisation. Exchanges and collaborative projects are well-known instruments for building global linkages, and at the same time institutions can maintain and strengthen local and national relevance in their programmes. Statement C is false because internationalisation does not demand the elimination of local content; rather, it encourages integrating global and local perspectives. Thus, A, B and D only are correct.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it includes A and B but omits D, consequently ignoring the important idea that internationalisation need not conflict with local and national priorities.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it adds C, which wrongly insists on replacing local content, thereby distorting the concept of internationalisation as additive and integrative rather than substitutive.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it selects B and D only and omits A, leaving out the widely practiced strategy of student and faculty exchanges as a component of internationalisation.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it combines the exchange and collaboration strategies with the recognition that strong local commitments can coexist with global engagement, while excluding C, which misrepresents internationalisation as a zero-sum process.
