UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and C accurately portray strategies for teaching large classes. A is true because clear instructions reduce confusion when many students are involved. B is true since student leaders can help distribute materials, collect work and support peers. C is true as methods like think–pair–share can be organised even with large groups. D, E and F are false because interaction is still possible, monitoring can be planned and classroom space should not be ignored; therefore A, B and C only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A lists A and B only, omitting C, and so it fails to acknowledge that interactive techniques can be meaningfully adapted for large-group situations. As C is also correct, A and B only is incomplete.

Option B:
Option B groups B and C but leaves out A, ignoring the foundational role of clear instruction in large-group management. Without A, B and C only does not fully address the issue.

Option C:
Option C brings together A, B and C, highlighting clarity, use of student leaders and adaptable interaction methods, while excluding D, E and F, which discourage interaction, monitoring and spatial planning. Hence A, B and C only is the correct answer.

Option D:
Option D combines A, C and E, but E incorrectly asserts that monitoring is completely impossible in large classes, which is not true if effective strategies are used. Therefore A, C and E only cannot be accepted.

Statements A, B, D and F are correct in relation to classroom management and time use. A is true because good management keeps learners engaged in learning tasks. B is true since routines cut down on transition delays, D is true because monitoring and supporting work are management activities, and F is true as seating arrangements can facilitate quick movement and interaction. C is false because classroom management includes organising learning, not just controlling misbehaviour, and E is false because thoughtful planning usually prevents rather than causes waste. Hence A, B, D and F only is correct.

Option A:
Option A includes A, B and D but omits F, ignoring the practical influence of seating arrangements on time and interaction. Since F is also correct, A, B and D only is incomplete.

Option B:
Option B adds E to an otherwise correct set, but E wrongly suggests that planning itself wastes time, which contradicts the idea of preventive management. Therefore A, B, D and E only is not a valid option.

Option C:
Option C combines A, B, D and F, capturing engagement, routines, monitoring and seating as positive aspects of management while excluding the narrow or inaccurate statements C and E. This makes A, B, D and F only the correct combination.

Option D:
Option D introduces both E and omits A, thereby weakening the focus on maximising time-on-task and endorsing a false idea about overplanning. Consequently B, D, E and F only cannot be accepted.
