UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 emphasises that teacher education must be practice-intensive. It calls for substantial school internships where student-teachers observe, co-teach and gradually take full classes under the mentorship of experienced teachers, building real classroom skills.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because a few days of observation are not enough to develop the complex competencies needed for teaching.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it reflects NEP’s demand for extended, mentored internships as a central part of B.Ed. programmes.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect; eliminating school visits would leave trainees unprepared for actual classroom realities.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because simulations alone cannot capture the full social and pedagogical complexity of real classrooms.
