UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, D, E and F present a balanced view of ICT in pedagogy. ICT can enable learner-centred and collaborative activities, blended models and multimedia support, and must be purposefully aligned with objectives and assessments. Statement C is false because technology alone cannot guarantee understanding; teacher facilitation remains essential. Therefore all statements except C are correct, so the right combination is A, B, D, E and F.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it omits F, ignoring the need to align ICT with objectives and assessment. A, B, D and E are true but do not reflect the full planning perspective required for effective integration.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it includes C, which exaggerates the power of ICT by suggesting automatic understanding. Including a false statement renders the whole option wrong even though other statements are correct.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it collects all positive and realistic statements about ICT’s role while excluding the overclaim in C. It recognises that ICT is a tool whose effectiveness depends on thoughtful design and alignment.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it omits A and adds no new correct statements. Without A, the emphasis on learner-centred interactivity is missing, and the combination does not contain the complete set of true statements.

Statements A, B and D give a balanced view of ICT’s benefits and conditions, while C is too absolute and false. ICT can enhance access and engagement, but it can also introduce distractions and does not automatically guarantee success for every learner. Teacher planning and pedagogical design are still required to integrate technology meaningfully. Hence, the correct combination is A, B and D only.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it includes A and B but omits D. While access and flexibility are important, stressing the continuing role of pedagogy and teacher judgement adds necessary nuance to ICT use.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it includes A, B and C as correct, thereby accepting C. Statement C ignores the reality that technology can distract and that impact varies with context, design and learner differences.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it selects B and D only and leaves out A. Statement A highlights the specific contribution of multimedia and simulations to deeper understanding, which is a key advantage that should not be excluded.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it acknowledges both strengths and limits of ICT and rejects the unrealistic claim in C. It reflects the UGC NET emphasis on critical integration of technology, rather than blind adoption.
