UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statement D is the only wrong statement because mobile learning specifically emphasises learning beyond fixed computer laboratories using portable devices. Statements A, B and C correctly describe flexible access, micro-learning and interactive uses of mobile devices. The idea that mobile learning requires desktop labs contradicts the basic definition. Therefore, the option that selects only D as wrong is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it marks both A and D as wrong statements. Statement A is central to the concept of mobile learning, highlighting anytime, anywhere access. Misclassifying this accurate statement as wrong makes the option untenable.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it identifies D alone as the wrong statement. It recognises that mobility and portability are fundamental to m-learning. By accepting A, B and C as true, this option reflects current educational uses of mobile devices.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it groups A, B and D as wrong. Both A and B correctly describe key benefits of mobile learning, while only D is false. Including true statements in the wrong set invalidates the combination.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it treats B, C and D as wrong statements. Statements B and C are accurate, as mobile tools can support micro-learning and in-class quizzes or polls. Mixing these with the false statement D means the combination cannot be correct.

Statements A, B and D accurately capture how ICT supports lifelong learning, while C is an unjustified restriction. Online platforms and mobile devices create flexible opportunities for adults in many fields, not just technology professionals. Digital badges and certificates help validate skills gained through non-formal courses. Hence, the combination A, B and D only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it lists A and B but omits D. Recognising the role of digital credentials in signalling competencies is important for understanding lifelong learning ecosystems supported by ICT.

Option B:
Option B is incomplete because it selects B and D only and leaves out A. Statement A about access to learning beyond formal schooling is foundational to the idea of ICT-enabled lifelong learning.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it collects the three true statements and excludes C, which wrongly limits lifelong learning to a narrow group of people. It reflects the inclusive notion that all citizens can benefit from ICT-mediated learning opportunities.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it treats all four statements as correct and therefore accepts C. Since C excludes non-technology fields and citizens, contrary to lifelong learning goals, this combination cannot be accepted.
