UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 envisages a major and minor structure in which students take most credits in a chosen major while also completing minors in other disciplines, allowing both depth in one subject and meaningful exposure to additional fields.

Option A:
This option contradicts the idea of flexibility and multidisciplinary learning, because forcing students to study only one subject removes the cross-disciplinary choice that NEP recommends.

Option B:
This option accurately reflects the purpose of majors and minors, combining specialisation in one discipline with structured study of other subjects.

Option C:
NEP expects students to complete foundational and disciplinary courses, so a programme restricted only to hobby subjects does not represent the policy.

Option D:
NEP emphasises student choice within a wide basket of subjects, not rigid subject lists imposed without regard to learners’ interests.
