UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, D and E describe key affordances and limitations of digital note-taking. Tools enable structured organisation, synchronisation across devices and quick retrieval through search, but they do not remove the need for selective recording and active processing by students. Statement C is false because many tools support images, links and even audio. Statement F is false since understanding depends on how notes are used for review and elaboration, not simply on the medium, so the correct set keeps A, B, D and E only.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it omits E, and thus fails to highlight the ongoing need for strategic note-making. A, B and D focus on features but not on learner responsibility, so the combination is partial.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it includes F, which suggests that using digital tools alone guarantees deep understanding. This ignores the importance of revision, reflection and practice, so adding F makes the set inaccurate.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it also includes F and leaves out A. Omitting A ignores organisational advantages, and accepting F exaggerates the effect of technology on learning outcomes. As a result, this option cannot be accepted.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it acknowledges both the power and the limits of digital tools. It captures organisation, access and search while insisting that students still must actively decide what and how to record, which matches educational research on note-taking.
