UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Automatic grading relies on pre stored correct answers and algorithms to evaluate responses without instructor intervention. LMS platforms can compute scores immediately and provide feedback, making assessment more efficient. This is a common use of ICT in evaluation. Hence, the quiz uses automatic grading.

Option A:
Option A is correct because the question describes machine based evaluation with instant results, which is a hallmark of automatic grading.

Option B:
Option B, manual, grading requires the teacher to inspect and mark responses individually, which contradicts the description.

Option C:
Option C, peer, grading involves students assessing each other’s work and is not automated by the system.

Option D:
Option D, random, grading has no meaning in educational assessment and would be unfair.

Formative assessment focuses on monitoring learning during the course and helping students improve before final evaluation. ICT tools like LMS platforms make it easy to schedule periodic quizzes, collect submissions and give quick feedback. Analytics dashboards can show which topics are problematic, allowing targeted remedial teaching. Thus, the example of regular online assessments with feedback aligns closely with the formative purpose.

Option A:
A single final exam is a summative assessment and does not provide ongoing guidance during the learning process. The long delay in declaring results further reduces its usefulness as feedback.

Option B:
Uploading only slides gives access to content but does not check understanding or provide performance-related feedback. Without tasks and responses, assessment is missing.

Option C:
This option correctly combines frequent assessment opportunities with responsive feedback. Students can track their own progress, and teachers can adjust teaching strategies based on LMS data.

Option D:
Administrative circulars may inform students about dates or rules but are not part of the assessment process. They do not measure or support learning outcomes directly.
