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.

The question asks for the wrong statement about curriculum internationalisation and local relevance. Statement A is correct because adding global perspectives is a key feature of internationalisation. Statement B is correct as curricula can and should integrate local contexts along with global issues. Statement D is also correct since collaborative projects and exchanges with foreign universities enrich curriculum content. Statement C is wrong because internationalisation does not require replacing all local content with foreign material; it seeks a balanced, contextualised approach. Therefore, C alone is the wrong statement.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it groups C with D as wrong statements. While C is indeed incorrect, D accurately describes how collaborations assist curriculum internationalisation, so including it as wrong is unjustified.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it classifies A, B and C as wrong. Both A and B express valid principles of combining global and local perspectives in curriculum design, so they should not be treated as incorrect.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it labels A, C and D as wrong, thereby rejecting two correct statements along with the single wrong one. This undermines the value of global perspectives and collaboration in curriculum design.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it identifies C as the only statement that misrepresents internationalisation. It keeps A, B and D, which support a nuanced, contextual and collaborative understanding of curriculum development.
